The day at Kara's farm ended with a trip to the pond. The boys and James went on the paddle boat. It was a nice warm day so the kids went swimming. They thought it was pretty neat we let them go in their unders!! They boys had a blast and even caught some tadpoles.

We left for a little vacation to visit my parents to celebrate the end of Collin's school year. It may not feel like a vacation to some but we get awesome home cooked meals by my Dad. The kids LOVE Nana and Papa's house with all the land...and James and I get a little break because the awesome Aunts love to play with the kids. Th

is trip was extra special because we were able to spend a day with Kara on her farm. The boys love animals and here they got to hold baby chicks and rabbits, feed the horses, and play with the cats and dogs. Thanks for letting us spend the day Kara!!!

More fun on the farm. Collin fell in love with the kittens. I think at some point he held all nine of them. We also went for a hike around the farm where we found an old kiln the boys crawled into. On the way out we stopped in the wildlife house and found some baby chicks hatching out of eggs. The boys sat and watched for a good 20 min before we had to leave. It was a great day!

Over Memorial Day weekend we took a drive to a farm. The kids were so excited to feed baby goats with a bottle. Our kids sure are animal lovers and it was hard to get them to leave. Kade especially made friends with one little goat. There was a family nearby who kept telling their son in the stroller, "Kevin look at the goats...Kevin look over here" Well little Kade thought that meant his goats name was Kevin. Kevin followed Kade everywhere (mostly because I think the goat thought Kade had more food). Kade cried and cried when he left because he didn't want to leave Kevin.

The school year is coming to an end. We are very sad about this! We loved Collin's teacher this year and now he is onto first grade and all day school. I have been spoiled having him around so much with the half day kindergarten it will be very weird to have him gone all day. This is the second to last field trip for the year. We went to the zoo and had a beautiful day! Siblings were invited along on the field trip so even Kade got to join the fun. The bunnies were the favorite of the day and I had to stop Kade 3 times from picking up the chickens. They had a blast!

Touch a truck. While Collin was in school Kade and I headed over to an area park where they had trucks set up that the kids could sit in and explore. Kade "drove" a crane, ambulance, firetruck, semi truck, and school bus. Talk about little boy heaven!

A night at the Museum. Last weekend was a busy weekend for us. Kade had oral surgery on Friday morning. Poor guy had two root infections that needed to be cleaned, four crowns put on, and

two cavities filled. Since he was so young he had it done in the hospital under anesthesia. Everything went well. Saturday morning was Collin's big track meet and Saturday night was the night at the museum. Our church and an area church rented out the museum overnight. At first Collin was not so sure about the idea but made a great friend and had a blast. Collin and his friend slept in the firetruck and Kade slept with Mom and Dad in the sports room. It was a really fun night filled with adventure!

Collin had another cold and windy day for his all YMCA track meet. Nana and Aunt April where in the stands to cheer him on. He place third in the 400 so he got a ribbon and he shaved 5 seconds off of his 100. He also did the softball throw and the long jump.

Collin had his first track meet today. He competed in the 400m, 100m and softball throw. The long jump and relay were cancelled due to the wet and cold weather. He was so proud when everyone was cheering for him. Next week we will compete against other teams and he is excited to get a ribbon.

Collin and Kade with their new haircuts. Such handsome boys!!!

Collin earned a free ticket to the Timber Rattlers baseball game for reading. Here are some pictures from the game. We had beautiful weather for the game.
