Orientation

My baby is starting preschool tomorrow . . .

isn't he adorable?? I cannot believe he is already 3, he seems so young!!!

My little school boy

Yep, I'm the mom of a kindergartener!!! Look at those blue eyes! Kobe loves school (except the uniform pants as seen above), he gets to stay for lunch and recess in which he has a blast, so far he's learned about self control, stagecoach game (you'll have to ask him), and what it's like when a classmate loses the popsicle party for everyone! We've successfully made it through one week - only 87 thousand to go, right?!

36 is old

Me and my boys - no better birthday then that! A trip to Red Robin (the most kid friendly place around), and a walk at the "windy" park trails. My favorite highlight was when we got home, and the kids had cupcakes (it's not a birthday without cake to kids), and 10 minutes into the cake brennan rolls out his "little coconut" (aka: acorn) that he has been holding in his little hand since the park (one of his special little traits he's been doing since he was tiny). Thank you troy and boys for a wonderful birthday, and more memories to hold tight.

My Best Friend's Wedding

Okay, so it was her wedding reception, but isn't that the title of a movie?? We had a wonderful time in Milwaukee to celebrate deanna (my friend since first grade, and my second family) marrying a wonderful guy from out east where she has lived for a lot of years (too many to count). They chose to marry in a beautiful resort/estate in virginia to put their families at ease of traveling out of state for a wedding. Congrats deanna - luv U!!

Kobe and brennan hanging out by the apple tree! Thank you Aunt Betty and Uncle Harold for so much fun catching tons of fish, pontoon rides, hanging out and chatting on the porch, and of course great food! We love you guys.
