Brycen graduates Kindergarten and finishes T-ball and soccer

All the parents were invited to come see the kids get their graduation certificates. I can't believe Brycen is already done with kindergarten, he is growing up way too fast!

A Few weeks ago, I picked Brycen up from the bus stop and found him wearing this "Super Suit" he made at the creation station at school.
Brycen did T-ball and soccer this spring. He loves to be active in any sport.

Brycen has such a good arm for a little guy. He can probably throw further than I can! At the end of the season he got a trophy, he was so proud of it he carried it around for days.

Blake's 4yr old pics

Blake is 4 now! He is such a good boy. He loves to run around with his brother and all the neighborhood friends. He loves to sit and play with his puzzles and his junk (a collection of little odds and ends). He loves to line up anything like his cars or his junk and make it all orderly. He has to wear flip flops just about anywhere even during the winter time. His favorite T.V. show is Tom and Jerry. He can recognize most of the Alphabet and write his name really well. He loves to go to the library and do the puzzles they have there. He likes to eat anything that has to do with cheese. He doesn't like to be alone, if I am upstairs and he is downstairs he will yell, "I don't want to be alone down here." Every night at bedtime he has to have either mom or dad lay by him even if it is just for one minute. He hates hugs and kisses especially from mom because hair gets in his face. He likes to ride his bike and his scooter. Blake has the sweetest eyes in the world, they melt your heart just like the cat, puss from Shrek.

Allie 6 month update

This Picture was taken shortly after Allie turned six months. We absolutely adore her! She is always so happy. She can push up onto her hands and knees but flops back onto her tummy when she tries to go forward. She is waking up once sometimes twice a night, but after filling her tank goes right back to sleep. No teeth yet, but has started rice cereal and banana and finally takes a bottle and binkie! Her brothers love her as much as they did the day she was born and have given her the nickname "Allie Cake Cake."

Blake turns 4!

Blake turned 4 on May 6th. We had a dinosaur party for him early, so Grandpa and Grandma Garbett could celebrate with us.
I made the most awesome cake you have ever seen!! All that matters is that Blaked loved it right?!!
Blake got puzzles from both sets of Grandparents because they know that he absolutely loves puzzles. Grandma and Grandpa Garbett even thought to bring a present for Brycen and Allie.  

Since we had his party early, I took the boys to JJ Jump on the day of Blake's Birthday. 

I think this place is little boy heaven. 

I'm so glad they are such good friends.

The Joys of Boys!!

Last Thursday Night I spent forever cleaning all the bathrooms. The next night I went to use the bathroom downstairs and it stunk to high heaven! I look down at the base of the toilet and sure enough a puddle of pee. So finally I got fed up with stinky bathrooms! I made the boys clean up their mess and threatened to make them sit when the pee if they aren't more carefull! Brycen said "no, only girls sit down to pee." I also banned them from using my bathroom.  I'm going to have one bathroom that doesn't constantly smell like pee, if it kills me!

Grandma and Grandpa Garbett come to visit!

My parents came to visit over the weekend. They wanted to see Brycen play in a soccer game (which ended up being cancelled) and help us celebrate Blake's 4th birthday. 

Brycen and Blake whoop Grandpa into shape.

Go'n for a bike ride.

 Allie has started this thing where she scrunches up her nose a sniffs in and out. Sometimes when we are playing with her she wiggles her head back and forth when she is excited, Brycen and Blake get a kick out of that. Jared has also claimed "dada" as her first word. He loves to sit with her and say "dada" over and over until she repeats it. 

Last week at play group somebody brought nail polish for all the little girls.  Allie got her toenails painted (with the help of another mom). I thought it was so cute, I had to take a picture of those tiny toes!
