Summer, Summer, Summertime!

Well summertime is definitely here and we've been busy already. On Carson's last day of Kindergarten Cole wanted to go to Northpark to "see the ducks and turtles." We had such a fun and relaxing day together, just hanging out, having lunch, and playing tag in the courtyard.


On Memorial day we took the boys to my mom's to swim, grill and visit. She gave Cole a fresh haircut for summer!

Carson has begging for his cousins to come over and spend the night. Ashley had recital practice, so we definitely missed her, but the kids had a great time together. They loved making this Jiffy-Pop. Avery said, "This is the best popcorn in the entire world!!"
Sweet Avery
Cole is normally a daredevil but in the pool he sticks pretty much to the steps and the shallow ledge. Probably a good thing, really! He does love the water though.
These two absolutely love each other. They both swim like fish and had such a fun time playing together. I have never seen two kids who get along so well. They stayed up talking until almost 11PM but I found them up and playing in Carson's room at 6:15 the next morning.

Carson's End of Kinder Awards Ceremony

I can't believe the end of Kindergarten is here already. The year literally flew by! It seems like yesterday we were walking him to school on the first day in these pics:

But my "not so little guy" is now a first grader! They had an awards ceremony to commemorate the end of the year.
Car's principal Mr. Fisher and Assistant Principal Mrs. Crabtree. They are so nice and great with the kids, and they both live on our street so we run into them a lot.
Carson's sweet teacher Mrs. Tuley and his classmates. He could not have been more blessed with a better teacher to get his school career started off on the right foot. I feel so fortunate that she was everything I could have asked for and more.

Getting a certificate for reading and free ticket to Six Flags... YAY!


Car is SO tall... always has been and is still growing like a weed. He already comes up to my shoulders and is only 6!

He was so happy that Cole got to visit his school! Cole was thrilled as well. Of course, he wanted to go on the stage, too.
