Six Years

Yesterday was our 6th wedding anniversary! We got to celebrate at the amazing wedding of Stephanie and Matt Basiliere. Stephie and I have been friends since seventh grade and I was honored to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. It was such a great way to be reminded of the love and commitment we made to each other six years ago. Even in the middle of their reception, Steph and Matt took the time to wish us a happy anniversary. So sweet and we are so lucky to have them in our lives! Steph and Matt made a stunning bride and groom and we are so happy we get to share our anniversary with them! Our lives have definitely changed a lot in the last six years and I can't wait to see what the next sixty years has in store for us!

Last Days of School

Today was Colin's last day of school.

It is officially SUMMER!!

Colin on his last Friday of school

Colin's class had an end of the year party at Pump-it-Up!

He had so much fun running around and bouncing everywhere!!

Colin with Ms. Moore and Mrs. Flemming

Love these teachers!!

The whole class

Colin is no longer in Pre-School! I can't believe how fast this year went by! I am sure Colin will miss seeing all his friends but we are excited for summer!!

Next year Colin is starting Pre-K!! Wow!!

Colin's Pirate Parrrrty!!

We did a little family celebration on Colin's actual birthday but we decided to have a Pirate themed 4th birthday party for all of his little friends from school! All the kids had so much fun! They got to dig for treasure, Sink the Ship with water balloon cannonballs, walk the plank, swim in a pirate ship pool and even go on a treasure hunt! I think this was my favorite theme yet! And most of all, Colin LOVED every minute of the day! He is still asking me why his party has to be over!

Happy Mother's Day!

COLIN IS FOUR!!!!

Happy 4th Birthday Colin!!

How is it even possible that I have a FOUR year old?!! This year he has seemed to grow up faster than ever. Starting school was the biggest transition during his 3's and boy did it do wonders for him! He went from hardly talking, only saying a few words, to complete sentences within the first few weeks! Now he is carrying on conversations, telling me all about his day and inventing imaginary fight scenes and football games. And somehow, at such a young age, can communicate his feelings so well. He tells me right away if he is nervous, uncomfortable, hungry, tired or even just bored!

Colin is such an athlete so of course his favorite class at school is P.E.! He still loves baseball and is getting really good at riding his bike. We never have a day with out some kind of sword or lightsaber fight. Colin is the best big brother and is so good and helping Parker or teaching him how to do something. He is so excited about having a little sister and talk about how cute she will be and how he and Parker have to be gentile with her. I know he will be so sweet with her! Even being a busy active typical boy, he is my cuddler. I love it! And I'm going to enjoy every minute because I am sure it isn't going to last much longer :(. He amazes me everyday and I feel so lucky to have him in my life and to be his Mom.

I love you Colin!

Disneyland

For Colin's spring break we took the boys to Disneyland! We were so excited that my sisters, Parents and the Herbert's wanted to come too! Lucky us because we probably couldn't have done two days of Disneyland without our whole group of helpers and entertainers. The boys had the BEST time at Disneyland and especially LOVED spending so much time with Harlow!

Here is a slideshow of our fun trip!

Easter Fun

Easter weekend was the start of a very long week of sick kids but we managed to get in some Easter fun before the boys got too miserable.

Dying eggs

Colin and Parker left out some carrots for the Easter Bunny and he left them a little note with their baskets!

I think the egg hunt was Colin and Parker's favorite! They wanted to do it over and over!

Saturday we had a big Reay Easter. It was so fun to have all the great grandkids there! I can't believe at the end of this year there will be TEN little kids! So fun to see them all running around having fun. They are all so cute!
