Around the house...

Here are just a few of the regular things we do around our house.....

Every Saturday morning the boys change the water in the fish tank. Everyone helps! (except mommy. That was part of the deal)



Micah even cleans his fish tanks. Look at that adorable smile.


And... We enjoy cupcakes. Lots of cupcakes!!!

Changes Coming :)

We've been trying to stay cool and busy this summer and we're doing just that! Micah just finished his second week of summer camp at celebrations (his school) He was lucky to have 2 final weeks with his favorites Ms. Kelly and Ms. Kathy. His first week (June) was fun in the sun and that's just what they did. Micah had a blast with his PDO friends and some new friends too. (He was so cute he came home the one day and told me he had some new really tall friends in his class, these were really the college helpers) This past weeks theme was things with wings. Micah was so excited when his teachers gave him a bug collecting set. We went in the basement after nap and found LOTS of bugs. (i guess i better get on that cleaning!)

This week we also had our awesome friend Auntie Rebecca come over for a visit. I can't say enough great things about her, she's amazing, and boy did she love on my boys! She's one of a kind. Micah talked her into building zoos driving cars in some pretty tight places and enjoyed every moment of it. We even had a grilled cheese sandwich snack together. Oh and i can't forget what Micah told me after she left. "Mom, i sure loved her and did you see her hat? I liked it a lot, i wanted to tell her but i was nervous."

Oh and i can't forget my Josiah, he's really growing up. Hes walking and is into everything!!! He is also talking a lot his favorite thing to say is "whats that." We love him and just can't get enough of his spunky personality.

I wish i had pictures but i don't. I'm going to take some pictures of Micah with his bug box and his new writing activity. Well, its not really writing but its helping him work on his letters. Rebecca gave us the great idea to put shaving cream in a zip lock and let him practice writing on it. Micah Loves it, thanks Rebecca!!! I'm also going to take some pictures of Josiah walking around.

Oh and did i mention changes are coming!!!

Lightning Mcqueen - Cars 2

Yesterday, June 30th i took Micah to his first movie. It was a big day not only for him but me to. Micah loves Cars so when we heard that Cars 2 was coming out i knew i just had to take him. My friend Deborah and her son Jaden came down yesterday. Deborah stayed with Josiah and Jaden joined Micah and i. I'm proud to say that Micah made it through the whole movie. I think the M&M's helped :)

My boy being super silly because he was so excited to see the movie.

Micah wasn't so sure about the seats at first (we then found the booster)

Yum, M&M's (i'm so glad i brought a cup for his candy, otherwise it would have been all over the floor)

Once the movie started he couldn't take his eyes off.

Other happenings Around our house

We've been busy this past month. We visited a family friends farm and before we left the boys needed to picture in front of the big tractor.

We played in our Giraffe pool (thanks Auntie Niloo) Even the neighbor kids loved it.

We went the Naperville memorial day parade. The boys were excited to see police, marching bands, and lots of cool cars.

We also visited the zoo. Here is a picture of my favorite boys!

*More happenings to come...

I celebrated another Birthday but who's counting... Not ME

My boys surprised me with some beautiful flowers, balloons and cupcakes.

Oh did i mention the fish Micah got for my Birthday? ( i've been saying for months NO fish, well some how for my birthday i don't know who talked who into it but they got a fish) Thanks boys.

Micah's Last day of PDO

This was a VERY sad day for me. My big boy is really a BIG boy now. He graduated from PDO and will officially be in preschool next year. Here are some pictures from his last day. I absolutely Loved his teachers. When you don't have family to help it's hard to leave your children with other people, but his teachers made me comfortable, i knew they really cared and loved him. They were truly a blessing to our family the past year and a half.

Tuesday....

We were lucky enough that dad got to come from work to see Micahs program on Tuesday
