Judson's Baseball Celebration

Judson's team met up at CiCi's for their End of the Season Celebration! He had the best coaches, and they got each of them their own trophy (well, we paid for them), and they also got the Medal from the YMCA! Judson was so proud! When they called his name to come up, they called him the "Big Hitter," so then he kept telling everyone that he was the best hitter:) Can't really argue with a 3 year old!

Field Trip

May 17, 2013

Paul David's class had a Walking Field Trip to our Subdivision Park (it's a very short walk on the greenbelt from the school!) The Room Mom's had money left in the party fund, so they had the Kona Snow Cone truck come! This truck is so cool. They make the ice part of the snow cones in the truck, then on the side of the truck are about 10 of the flavors (you can get others from them).

Paul David and I couldn't wait to get our Tiger's Blood Snow Cone!!!!!

Happy Boy!!!!

Oh, man, this field trip was SO MUCH better than the Zoo one...

Our Monarch Butterfly

May 8, 2013

One day while we were coming home from school, we had to go into Paul David's classroom to get something he had left, and he showed me the Monarch Caterpillar they had. It was on a Milkweed Plant, and Ms Reagan told me that you can buy Milkweed plants at the local hardware store with Monarch caterpillars ON THEM...for like $2.00. So that afternoon, we picked up Judson and headed to buy us some Milkweed Plants!!!

We got 2 plants, and we had 3 caterpillars, but I didn't realize that they'd fall to their death...so next time, I'll put them where they'll fall onto dirt or a towel or something!

ANYWAY, we had one caterpillar that made himself into a chrysalis and lo and behold...a

MONARCH BUTTERFLY:

We planted the Milkweed Plants in a planter outside, and we've seen several butterflies flying around it...and now they're blooming these pretty red and yellow flowers! Best $4.00 ever!!!! We're hoping that we find some new Monarch Caterpillars in the Spring on our plants!

Sleepy Time

Almost every time we went to Paul David's game in the evening, this happened:

I guess the bumps in the road lulled him right to sleep...every time!!

Visit from the Cousins

May 4, 2013

We had a fun surprise when Ella, Getta, April, Preston and Kendall came down for the night!

They got to see two of Paul David's games and one of Judsons!

Ella LOVED the fish!

The boys loved having Preston here to play Skylanders with them!!!

Sweet Kendall!

Slumber Party in the Game Room!

After their games on Saturday, the kids tried to swim.

It was cold though since that cold front had come through, but they swam anyway for about 20 minutes!

Preston was doing some good floating!

Poor Ella wanted in so badly, but it was just way too cold!

Kendall didn't mind though!

It was such a fun weekend!!!

Derby Day

May 3, 2013

Paul David's Field Day at school is called Derby Day!

They had tshirts made for it, but a bizarre cold front blew through and it was COLD that day, so all the kids had on jackets covering up their cool Derby Day shirts:(

We walked over to join Paul David and see him doing his events!

He was really good at the "hurdles"
