This and That

Well i have been a slacker. Just haven't been in the mood to blog. I decided it has been long enough and i am due for an update. Here is a little "this and that" of what we are up to these days:
-Chad has the summer off so he is just working and we love that we get to see him more.
-Hopefully soon we will be tearing up our yard. It is going to be a lot of work. Bring on the farmers tan and blistered hands.
-We are excited for the dryness and heat to come. Really it has been hard to kill our grass and weeds when all it does is rain. Also i would eventually like to wear shorts.

We bought a tramp. The boys love it. Eventually we will dig a hole for it so it will be in the ground. Check out my amazing yard in the background.

Bentley had his 1st preschool graduation. Good thing he has 2 more years of preschool.

Most of our days are spent outside (when the weather allows). Lincoln is obsessed with Chad's long board. Chad goes fast when he is on it. All Linc does is smile.

Bentley loves his bike. That is all he wants to do. Hopefully soon we can take the training wheels off. (On a side note: notice he is wearing a helmet. All of your kids should be wearing helmets. I can't tell you how many kids i see in the ER that are sent to Primary's with a brain injury because they were not wearing a helmet) Sorry i just had to get that out.

Tracy Aviary

Thanks to Chad's awesome work we got tickets to Tracy Aviary. Luckily the sun decided to shine for a couple of hours. It was a great time. The boys loved it. As you can see in the picture above Chad was having a great time as usual. This is the boys waiting for the bird show.

The bald eagle, my favorite part.

COUSINS

Chad's sister just had a baby a few days ago and it got me thinking:
How many cousins do my boys have now?

So I did the math and must say my boys are lucky to have so many cousins.

Here are the stats:
Chad's family: 28 with 1 on the way
My family: 24 with 1 on the way
TOTAL COUSINS: 52 with 2 on the way

That is just 1st cousins I might add. The best part is they just keep coming. Again, how lucky are my boys. It's a party no matter where they go. Keep up the great work Aunts and Uncles!

Summer Buzz

Alright i know it's not Summer, but it was warm last week so we decided to buzz the boys hair for the season. I just love buzz hair cuts on boys. I tried to get Chad to buzz his head but he wouldn't go for it. Apparently the boys thought it was a great time. Too bad it's like 50 degrees outside now. Hopefully it gets warm soon.

Happy Easter!

We hope everyone had a great Easter, we sure did. The boys got to go to 3 egg hunts. How lucky are they! We celebrated Easter all weekend long. Enjoy the pictures of our busy weekend.

The Sand Dunes

Last weekend we went to the Sand Dunes with Chad's friends. We had a great time riding four wheelers and hanging out. Bentley is still talking about our trip. Six campers, 7 families, 9 little boys, 1 little girl and lots of toys to ride. I wish it had been a little warmer but it was fun just to get away.

Busy Bentley

Bentley has been busy this last month. With 2 field trips for preschool, a preschool program and swimming class lets just say he has been having lots of fun.

Bentley got to go to the Fire Station. He was in heaven. He kept counting down the days until he could go.

Bentley's program was about the farm. He got really into the songs it was cute. This is a picture of him with his cousins.

Swim class was a blast. He was in a class with 6 boys. That poor teacher had her hands full. He just loved swimming and still asks to go all the time.

The Tree House Museum was so much fun. Of course Bentley's favorite part was the fire truck.

Bentley is so full of energy. He never stops until it's time to sleep. He loves to talk and play pretend. He is a great big brother, always looking out for Lincoln. We just love having Bentley in our family.
