Ryder's 1st Day of Preschool

Bonds' Birthday Party

First Day of Kindergarten!

He was so excited to ride the school bus today!

Can't believe this happening!

So this is happening.  I can't believe how fast time is flying.  Actually, that's not true.  I can- because everyone told me it would.  But this dude.  He is getting so big.  He doesn't even look like a little nugget anymore.  Definitely going to break some hearts one day.





Kindergarten starts Thursday.  We have his orientation tomorrow.  I'm signed up as Lead Room Mom.  Whose idea was that?  To be honest, nobody would sign up and I didn't want his first year of school to be boring!




See.  He is already driving.




And this one....




Handful.   I'm very curious to see how he does at his first year of Preschool.  I hope he takes direction well.  He likes to do what he wants, when we wants.  And that damn smile and the big hugs and kisses that he throws out.  Man, gets him away with a lot.



Schools starts next month for him.  Going to be a quiet house soon.


I'm not complaining  :)

Blossom Weekend

Blossom Weekend was awesome this year.  My whole family came in to celebrate my cousin getting married.  I love having everyone together!!!!

Happy 5th Birthday Caden!

OMG....I need another baby!  The first one is too big.




He had us countdown the days until his birthday.   Starting around January.   He loves hot dogs, so I decided to do a Hot Dog Bar for the adults.  It turned out great.

The Cali Dog: Sprouts & avocado
The Chicago Dog: duh
The Bahn Mi Dog: spicy mayo, cucumber, jalapeno & cilantro
The Reubie: Sauerkraut, swiss cheese & Thousand Island dressing
The Gnar Gnar:  Cleveland's Kraut (gnar gnar) & spicy mayo




We had a DQ cake this time.  He is going to have a party next month with his friends.  It's going to be a pirate theme.  I can't wait!




He had such a great birthday!  Love seeing his smile.
