Logan's Last Day of First Grade

     I can't believe my baby finished first grade today! Logan has worked so hard this year. He earned a work ethic award and made the Dean's List (overall GPA of 90 or higher) for the fall and spring semesters! He has grown and learned so much. I think he finally is beginning to understand that school is about learning and not just completing assignments. He even wants to "homeschool" over the summer so "second grade will be easy next year". 

    For his last day, I bought Chick-fil-a and ate lunch with him. I left Lucas at home so we just had a mommy and Logan lunch.

     After lunch, I went and put together a summer/end of school gift for the boys. I got them each new swim trunks, rash guards, flip flops, and sunglasses from the Children's Place. Then I went to dollar tree for the beach pails, frisbees, water squirters, goggles, popsicle cup, sand toys, water balloons, and angry bird space fruit snacks. The boys were so excited about their gifts. Let the summer fun begin!!!

Cake and Pie Auction

     After church, our youth/children held a cake/pie auction to help raise money for camp. Our church does this every year, and it's always so much fun! They serve a spaghetti lunch and people bid on desserts made by church members.

     This year Joshua bought Mrs. Sedella's banana pudding. It was so yummy! I say was because there might be one small serving left. When we got home from church, I set the banana pudding on the counter and went in the other room. When I came back into the kitchen, the boys had spoons and were eating straight out of the container the pudding came in. I wish I would've taken a picture.

     The grand finale was four of the boys from the youth group was auctioning off themselves for yard work for a day. We have some things we are wanting to do and change in the back yard, so Joshua "bought" the boys. My boys are excited-we're still trying to explain to them that the big boys are coming to work not just play. I have a feeling I'll have to let the big boys take a few play breaks with the little boys!

Morning at the Park

      This morning Grandma and Papaw took us to breakfast at Moe's Country Kitchen in Azle. Then we went to Azle Central Park to play. It was a beautiful morning! 

This and That

While Logan was studying for the English and History finals he has on Monday, Lucas was playing paper jamz and rocking out. Oh that little Lucas!

Enamored with the Turtles

The boys are mesmerized by their turtles. They love to just sit and watch them.

The Boys' New Pets

Daddy brought home a surprise for the boys tonight. They both got their own turtle! They were so excited when we came in from Bible study and they saw them. They are still deciding on names. I love those sweet smiling faces so much!

Happy Mother's Day

Yes, sons are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. (Psalms 127:3 NET)
