Brayden's Preschool Program

Brayden had his last day of preschool on May 22nd.  Then on the 23rd they had their end of the year program and graduation for the older children.  I am so proud of him.  He got up on stage and sang his little heart out.  He had a great year with great teachers and he has learned so much.  I can't believe that this time next year he will be one of the graduates.  My how time flies!!

We are looking forward to Charlie's school year to come to an end.  We have a lot of fun things planned for the summer.   I love having my boys home everyday!!

SpRiNg BrEaK

It has been awhile since our Spring Break but it was absolutely awesome!!!  I LOVE having my boys home and not being in the daily school routine for a whole week was fabulous!!! 

Nature Center

We visited our local nature center with some friends.





Hollywild Zoo

We got Daddy to take a day off and we visited Hollywild Zoo.

It was so much fun.  The boys loved feeding the animals.



Davidson River

We took a little Hike to Moore Cove and saw a beautiful waterfall.

The boys loved exploring and playing in the water.



Spring Break was AWESOME!!!  It was just long enough to make us all want Summer.

The count down to summer is on.  We can't wait!!!



Birthdays!!!!

The boys turned 4 and 6 in March.  I just can't believe that they are that old.  I just don't know where the time has gone.   As much as I miss teaching I am so thankful that I have been able to be home with them.
If I was teaching I would not be able to be so involved in Charlie's Kindergarten class or be able to attend all of Brayden's field trips and I would feel guilty leaving them with someone else when they are sick. So I thank God daily that he has allowed me to stay home with the boys.  I do a lot of teaching with them and that helps me fill my longing for being back in the classroom.  I know that they will only be little for oh such a short time and I have many days ahead of me that I can spend in the classroom.

Now back to the big birthdays.  We had a kid party at The Little Gym.  It was a great party and all of the children had a blast.  I highly recommend The Little Gym for birthday bashes.    Then the next day we had a family/friends party.  The boys are so blessed with a wonderful family and awesome friends.

Happy Birthday sweet boys!

I love you both to the moon and back!!

St. Patrick's Day Fun

 My 2nd week of planning a cooking activity for Brayden was so much fun.  We made these cupcakes for Charlie's class and for our Team Kid class at church.  Brayden had so much fun helping make the cupcakes.  I totally spaced and did not get any pictures of him helping me cook.  I will do better next week. 

 Making shamrock prints with cookie cutters.  We also made them with green peppers.

 The boys came up with this activity all on their own.  They drew rainbows and then made shamrock prints under the rainbows.  Then they asked for cotton balls to make clouds.  They turned out so cute.

                                                          

 Shamrock sun catchers

Brayden asked for a new piece of big green paper.  He

then drew a  picture of a cat and a person.  Then he wrote his name

all by himself on the paper.
