Preschool Graduation

I am seriously so far behind. Ryland graduated from Preschool on May 21st. He has loved going to the best day every preschool this year. He learned so much and had the best teachers. Can't believe we are going to be on to kindergarten so soon! He learned all his letters, sounds, how to write, sign language to the alphabet, and his teacher also did kinder music included with all his preschool stuff. He LOVED it, and had a great year. Here are some pictures of the big graduation. He was so excited if you couldn't tell from this picture! They sang a ton of super cute songs that they had been learning all year. I love the cap and gown he got as well. Each kid got to design their own cap at school and then they all had their turn to walk and receive their diploma. They asked each kid what they wanted to be when they grew up. Ryland responded with he wanted to turn 8 and be baptized. Ya, that works! :) It was cute. Ms. Tiffany and Ms Anisha were the best teachers. Ryland still talks about how much he loves them. Our little graduate. Great job Ryland! So glad Grandma could join us for the special day! Ryland was lucky to go with 3 of his best buddies to preschool too. Boston left before the picture, but they all had a great year together. Ry, Austin, and Davon So proud of our graduate, next stop kindergarten!

Garden

For the past couple years we have enjoyed the comforts of having a neighborhood garden. It was so nice and very minimal work for an abundance of veggies. We have loved it. This year however, the land was sold to build houses on, so hence goodbye neighborhood garden. It was sad, but we decided we could handle doing a garden on our own. So thanks to my super handy husband, he was able to design and build some amazing garden boxes. Seriously it is so nice that Lance can just look at projects and figure out what he needs to do and get it done. One of my favorite qualities about him. Anyway, it took a full Saturday to build, fill, and plant, but the work has definitely paid off! I should have pulled my camera out much sooner, but here are a few highlights. Camden was in dirt heaven. That kids loves, LOVES, the dirt. He thought it was the best day ever that we just let him get as dirty as possible. Both boys were great help in getting everything planted and watered. Nice job Lance, looks great! And here we are a couple months later and completely enjoying the fruits of our labor. The garden has been awesome and is producing tons!! We are loving it.

Cohen 6 months

Cohen turned 6 months old on May 12th! Those 6 months flew on by, and I mean flew! I can't believe he is already that old. My little baby is not so little anymore either. At 6 months he weighed 17 pounds 15 ounces and was 28 inches long. He still is tracking slightly smaller then Ry and Cam at that age, but not by much. And he tops the charts just like his brothers in both the 75% on weight and height. Oh how I love this little baby, he has been so sweet and loving since the day he was born. I am in love with this little outfit my grandma gave us. All ready for church! 6 months! Love this face! Cohen loves his brothers! Ryland adores Cohen, they are the best of buds, even in a laundry basket. Cohen has been loving trying new foods and hanging out in his high chair. He also sleeps great, yep he's in there somewhere! He has found a new love for swings thanks to Grandmas new swing set and parks this summer. And he LOVES to take a bath. I can't give him a bath without getting myself soaked as well. He loves to splash, kick, scream, he would spend all day in the bath if he could! I love my baby so much. It is so fun to watch him learn and grow. He has mastered sitting up and rolling around wherever he pleases. Cohen loves to be outside too. He is so happy and has really been a joy to our family. Don't know where we would be without him and his happy smile and little scream to get attention. He loves to cuddle and hug and give kisses. Ah, I just love him!

Lances Birthday

We had a small gathering with Lances family for his birthday in May. It was such a beautiful night to BBQ and spend time with the family. Can't believe he is 31, we are getting old ya? Where does the time go. Happy Birthday Lance!
