Cute Pic

My friend Clara and her son Brendan came over on Monday to play! Tyson and Brendan are just a few days apart, so it's always fun to see them play together. It's so neat that my good friend from high school now has a son the same age as my son! She also has #2 on the way in July! When the kids all got on the giant fire truck, we had to snap a picture of it! Tyson is in front, then Brendan, then Kaylee (one of my daycare kids), and Aaron is in the background. They are so cute!

Tyson and Miss Nikki

Every Wednesday afternoon, Tyson spends an hour with his teacher, Miss Nikki. She brings a big basket of toys, games and activities. Tyson gets so excited when I tell him Miss Nikki is coming over to play. When she pulls in the driveway he immediately runs to the door to greet her, then runs to the living room and plops down in his spot ready to work! He usually does really well with her. She makes him say all kinds of sounds and words, and then he gets rewarded with a toy or a piece to what ever game they are playing. His new word is "bus." He has been saying "buh" for months now, but now he says it clear as day, and he really stresses the "s" sound at the end. It sounds so cute! He can make many sounds now, but he still has a tough time implementing those sounds into words. But I definitely see improvement! :)

Preschool Graduates

Yesterday was the last day of Preschool for Travis, Aaron, Kaylee, and Aiden. They had so much fun this year and really enjoyed their great teachers and new friends. My friend Dana made the boys t-shirts for a special thank you and goodbye to Mrs. C and Mrs. Y! They officially graduated from preschool (they have a diploma to prove it) and off to Kindergarten they go!

Like Father, Like Son

The other night Tyson was cracking me up. Bryan always sits in his chair in the evenings and drinks an occasional beer. Tyson asked Bryan to pull up the kid-sized recliner right next to his chair. Then Tyson gets his sippy cup of milk and reclines the chair back. Every time Bryan took a sip of beer, Tyson took a sip from his cup! He adores his daddy so much, it is just so adorable. On Sunday we spent the day working outside. Bryan has a big pile of wood that he is still cutting up into smaller logs. Tyson spent about an hour with his toy chainsaw pretending to cut up the wood... just like Daddy does. He sure does look up to his Daddy, and he is so lucky to have such a great Dad to idolize! Wherever Bryan is, you will surely see Tyson tagging behind!

Bath Time!

I have no explanation!! :)

Travis on a 2-Wheeler!

Travis spent the night with Grandma Kathy, and he came home knowing how to ride a 2-wheeler! What a great grandma!! She taught Rylee how, and now she taught Travis! He looks so big and he is so proud of himself! Next week Travis goes to Lakes Elementary for his Kindergarten placement. Because of his late fall birthday, we are planning on him attending DK (developmental kindergarten) for the 08-09 school year. He is so excited! It is so strange to think I will have TWO kids in school. Enjoy the video, I had no idea how to put one on here, but I did it!! Also, today Travis is officially 4 1/2.

We love to play outside!

Spring is here, and boy do we love it! The kids play outside all day long! I just pull up a lawn chair and sit in the sun as the kids ride bikes and Powerwheels! We are so happy that the weather has been so beautiful! Summer is right around the corner!!
