Happy Birthday Michael. I cannot believe he has turned 5. Here is a picture of his 1st birthday and now his 5th (I wish I had all the in-between ones, but they are lost on the old computer). What a wonderful boy our Michael is and we love him so much and are so proud of him.

Some birthday pics of Michael. He wanted pancakes for breakfast and breakfast burritos for dinner. And of course, his dirt cake for dessert.

Michael asked for a Dirt cake for his birthday this year. I don't know what I would ever do if someone asked for a Princess cake. I am so glad I have boys. I was excited to make it and had such fun putting it together. Michael loved his cake too.

Michael graduated from preschool today. It was so fun to see him. He loved his teacher Mrs. Koeppen. We were so proud of him and all the work he has done this year.

Another FHE video. Braxton came up with a great lesson and put it together all by himself. We had to answer gospel related questions and there was a number value attached to each question that if we got it right, that is how many scoops of popcorn seeds we ladled into our jars. The person with the most seeds at the end got to be first to pop them and so on. Then we also our treat. Corvin absolutely loved the popcorn popper. We kept calling it "Pop Pop" and he would get so excited.

Michael had his first "friends" birthday party on Saturday. He had a great time playing, eating, running around, getting prizes and opening presents. Here is a video of him and his friends on the Bumper Boats and a picture of them eating pizza. His favorite part was riding the G0-Karts, but I didn't get any pictures since I was racing as well.

The boys taking a ride in the wagon. Aren't they the cutest in the world? We did get the wagon to haul dirt and bark, but it works great for kids too.

1st Lost Tooth

Braxton finally lost his first tooth. He pushed it out with his tongue last night and came running upstairs to show us. It was fun to have the Tooth Fairy make its first appearance at our house as well.

Here are a few pictures of the boys playing their first baseball game. They are the Padres, Braxton as #3 and Michael as #4. They were so funny when they would hit the ball, they just watched it to see how far it went and forgot to run to first base. They both got some great catches and most importantly, had fun.

This is my "Fancy Hat" that Michael made for me at preschool. I had a wonderful time with him at our "Fancy" Mothers Day Tea. He is such a sweetheart. Thanks Michael.

After many, many hours (Scot says he logged 27), this great father assembled a playset for his boys. They absolutely love it and hopefully will have fun for many years. Great work Dad!

This is Braxton's rice baby that he made at school. They each had to bring in their weight at birth in rice and the teacher turned them into these babies for a Math project. Braxton now has his baby at home and takes great care of it. He puts it to bed each night, takes it on walks in the stroller and holds and feeds it. He named it baby Braxton.

I just had to let Corvin try an Oreo. Yes, I actually let my children eat Oreo cookies. He absolutely loved it so I didn't mind the mess. Don't worry, it won't happen again

(because I ate them all).
