Kindergarten Graduation

Malachi had a kindergarten graduation this week.  He was so cute with his little home made cap and medal.  The kids performed a couple of songs, then they took us out to the kindergarten playground to get pictures with the kids and their teachers.  Malachi has really enjoyed school, however it has also been a tough year for him.  He was diagnosed with ADHD and we had to get him on medication.  He seems to be doing better now, and I have to say that his teacher and counselors were some of the best people to work with while we were getting this all figured out.

Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken this Saturday.  We decided to have them done at the Arboretum.  It was a beautiful place, but a really bad idea.  We were eaten alive by mosquitos.  We itched for days.  Here are few pictures from our shoot.

New Bike!

James had a goal during school this year to have perfect attendance.  He got it.  His school is part of a program that if they have perfect attendance, they receive a free bike.  He was so excited to receive this bike.  I am so proud of him for having the desire to always be at school.  Way to go James!

I just love looking at this smile.

Memorial Day Weekend

We went to my parents house for Memorial day weekend.  We always have such a good time.  The pool was opened and it was beautiful weather.  It was also Jocelyn's first time swimming.  She loved it.

The kids all love playing with Jocelyn

Lacrosse Banquet

Lacrosse season is over.  I must admit, I'm grateful, because it was a lot of travel for me with the kids.  But it was a lot of fun to watch.  I'm not sure if James will do it again, but it was fun to experience it.  Today was his end of season banquet.  James got a participation certificate.  I'm glad he had a lot of fun.

One on One

I have Fridays off, and so when I'm off I get to spend one on one time with Jocelyn.  I love that time I get to spend with her.  She has fun playing and going shopping with me. 

I love how she hangs on to the back of the seat instead of the handle in front of her.

Today some friends invited us over to play games.  We had such a good time.  Jocelyn LOVED being outside sitting on the grass.  She was so cute.

Laundry never ends so she gets to play all the time.

8 Months!

How can this be?!? My little princess turned 8 months old today. She is finally starting to sit on her own for much longer periods of time. She is still in 3-6 month clothes but may soon be moving into 6-9 months. She doesn’t feel like she weighs much more than 16 pounds. She doesn’t have her well child appt for another couple weeks. She is such a happy girl. She loves music and dancing and she talks all the time. We just love this little girl!! **When she finally had her appointment she weighed in at 16 lbs 5 oz and she was 26 inches tall.
