Muffins with Mom and Kindergarten Orientation







 I am out of order which for anyone who knows me knows it is bothering me.  May 8th was a busy day for Max and Mommy!  We had muffins with mom.  Yes - I did cry a little.  And Kindergarten Orientation,  Yes, I did cry again.  It was hard to go from one to the other in one day!  Max made a hand towel with his handprint on it for me - so sweet!!  We had muffins and hot tea.  The children sang to us (all but Max who is adamant he does not sing other people's songs).  After preschool, we went to his new kindergarten.  We met his principal and teacher.  I was impressed with both of them.  We also toured the school and ate lunch in the cafeteria.  Max liked his school, but seemed overwhelmed.  He said he thinks it is too big.  I told him that he wouldn't have to go to all those places everyday, and that seemed to help.

Bumbo-Man and a 3 month old

I knew when he was in the womb Riley would be strong.  And boy is he ever! We tried out the bumbo for the first time May 12th.  He is now 3 months old and very active and happy.  He loves to smile. He is also my best little eater.  He will even take a bottle if needed!! Max and Alexis still love him to pieces.



a 2 year old now paci free and our 3rd is 2 months old! April 14

WOW does time fly?!  Riley turned 2 mos old right about the time of Max's birthday party.  Our little girl  has been growing up, too!  She is officially paci free!  I told her the paci was all gone, and that was that! We are so proud of her.  Here's a pic of Riley at 2 months

I want to ride my bicycle...

We pooled the kids' birthday money and got them each bicycles!  Well, Alexis actually got a big








wheel like bike that she calls a car.  They are big hits!

Batter UP! Max is 5!

I started this blog when Max was a baby.  I can hardly believe he is now 5!!  He is such a sweet boy.  He loves to use toys and other things to create vacuums, or other electronic items.  He is a very wonderful big brother. You can count on him to get a paci for Riley, or a bebe for his sister.  He wanted a baseball party this year, and I think we got it right!  He and the other kids had a ball (haha) playing tball in the back yard!  Alexis slept through most of the party, but when she did get up, she discovered the huge container of cheese balls Grammy brought.  She and her cousin took turns devouring them!












Easter Sunday

The day after Alexis's party was Easter Sunday, and Alexis's actual birthday!  The kids enjoyed finding their Easter baskets!  We also enjoyed a lovely Easter service at Christ Baptist Church, then had a fantastic Easter dinner with all the grandparents.  Darrell did not disappoint!  He grilled bacon wrapped filets and made twice baked potatoes!  Mmm mmm mmm!!  Because he is starting Tball in May, the Easter bunny gave Max his very own glove.  He really seems to like it!  Alexis got a special cup with Hello Kitty on it.  As Alexis says "bwow bwow"  (instead of meow!)




Another year flutters by...

My sweet daughter is 2.  I just can't believe how fast time flies!  She had a lovely butterfly-bubbly birthday!
