Last Days of School

Here is Shawn playing a couple of the games that he would participate in. He was not to excited about all these cheesy events, so some of the games and events he would sit and watch the others do it. I think he had a good time even though he would not admit it to me:)



-These pictures are supposed to be at the end of this post but I have no idea how to get them there so they are at the top. So like I said please hang in there with me until I get the hang of this blogging thing. I hope I figure it out soon. -


He played dodge ball and squeeze the sponge into a bucket and water volley ball and basketball, those were the ones that I could see that he was having a good time!

The boys had a great few last days of school and I felt like I was at the school non-stop, going back and forth like a crazy person, dragging poor James every step of the way. I guess he was in a stroller so it wasn't too bad for him:) I did have a lot of fun spending time with the boys in their classrooms and watching all their fun events!

This is when the boys got their year books and they get to have all their friends sign it. Well I had James with me and someone asked him to sign their yearbook (The kids absolutely adore James, every time I bring him in they swarm him like bees and try to get him to do things or say things- it is very cute, but he gets a bit overwhelmed having 20 kids in his face) He scribbled a little bit and then thought nothing of it. Well then all the kids started coming up to him and wanted James to "sign" their yearbooks, well let me say that he got the hang of it really fast and started taking their pens and scribbling and then handing it back to them and going to the next kid- it was hillarious and all the kids were loving it!!

Here is James signing Shawn's yearbook

This is Mrs. Hofer's 1st grade class. Mikey had a fun half a year with her. He had a sub, Mrs. Reheis, for the first half of the year while Mrs. Hofer recovered from Breast Cancer. We are glad she came back with a full recovery and did a great job the second semester.

This is Mrs. Weatherford's 3rd grade class. Shawn enjoyed having new friends in this class and he was a very good helper to the other students who didn't finish as fast as he would:)

Messy James, eating his pizza that we get about once a week from Little Ceasars, and then finishing it off with a homemade popcicle that Mikey and Shawn made.

Here is James at Field day flirting with all the girls. They flock to him when ever he is around and don't want to leave his side. They all want to help me push him or feed him or whatever I am doing they want to do it for me. He seems to like it most of he time, but sometimes he gets annoyed.

Mikey is such an amazing jumper, here he is doing a long jump over the jump rope that they kept moving farther and farther away, he and one other boy in his class were the only ones that got really far and then they had to tell them to stop because we ran out of time, I wonder how far he could have made it??

Here is Mikey making a shot on the hoops, he had a lot of fun playing all the games and doing all the events that they had planned for the day.

Mikey Turns 8!!!

Mikey Turns Eight and is very excited to get his birthday presents!! This money is from Grandma Jo and Grandpa Alan. Thank you!! He got a video game he has been wanting for a very long time and has spent coutnless hours making very cool creatures and fighting them in different places. It is nice that he finally has a game that he really enjoys and is good at, instead of watching his brother play all the cool games:)Here is James enoying the yummy cake that I made, he loves cake!!
Blow out all the candles, I am pretty sure he got them all, thank goodness. Oh well, what happens if you don't?

He got some very cool sheets that Chris and got him, thy are the original Star Wars sheets that they had when the first movie came out, they are pretty cool. And he got several Lego sets.

Grandma Becky got him a Build a Bear Karate outfit and a gift certificate for him to go a Build a Bear at the store, he had a lot of fun doing that. Thanks Grandma!!

Here he is celebrating his B-day at school, I got store bought cupcakes with all that frosting on them, I was too busy or maybe lazy that day to make them for the class. They enjoyed them very much. I thought the boys would want the ones that had Power Rangers guys on them but everybody wanted the ones that had little plastic Crayons on them- weird.

Here is a birthday hat that I made for Mkey to wear, but James broke it soon after it was taken off for a moment. Mikey is making popsicles out of juice-he loves to make juice!!
