Goofy and Mickey

Me: Colton you are so silly that you are goofy.
Colton: Well, you are Mickey Mouse.

And the president is......

You all know Caden LOVES the presidents and anything to do with them right? Well, he decided to pass down the tradition to Colton. He's been trying to teach Colton the first and last president. So at dinner one night I asked Colton who the president is now and he gave an answer somewhat close:) And then I asked for the first president....he needed a clue so I said "George" and Colton thought a bit and said "Curious George". Ahhh, the minds of 2 soon to be 3 year olds-always mixing up their presidents and cartoons:)

Silly, silly boy!

Last day of school gifts, cousins, and boys....

Caden loves to give his teachers gifts. I would say his first love language is quality time but gifts must run a close second. And I love to oblige with him because gifts is my first love language so this is a fun time for me!

We did the same thing as last year for Caden's teacher. We are sad she won't be with us next year-budget cuts:( She did a lot for Caden and we will always be thankful and grateful for the extra time and effort she put into helping him learn. We did a 4x6 album-I usually do a wallet size but could not find one! Click the photo to make larger to see how the book turned out. The left side contains what she will do and the right a gift card to help her to the "task".
Caden also loves his speech teacher. He has done really well this year and will be tested next october to see if he needs to continue. We got her a plant with a tag that says "thanks for helping my speech grow" And the bus driver got a popcorn basket. The Dollar store had these large square popcorn tubs so I bought what they had left so I have some for next year too. We filled it with pop, popcorn and a few candy treats.
At Derek's graduation everyone got to see Canon. Kate was a little nervous holding him because he was so little but I think she did a wonderful job! He's bigger now Kate so there will be more to hold next time:)
And of course we have to get the oldest grandson and youngest (for now that is) grandson. I think I have Derek with each of the boys when they were the oldest and youngest. It changes fast so I have to be quick;)
Canon loves bath time-unless he gets cold or you pour water over his head!
Trying to get some pics of the boys.....this is old news to the older two...bored while waiting for me to "set up" Canon.
Awwww! The love of brothers!

...being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:6

We are Tampa Bay Rays Fans....

in T-ball that is. Caden started T-ball 2 weeks ago and finally had his first game last night. It is amazing how long they let these little ones play. It started at 6:30 and Doug and Caden didn't get home until 8:00. I think it gets a little long for them also because the coach emailed us and said that some of the kids were asking "when do we get to snack time?" Caden loves it. And although they don't keep score-well the parents don't but you know the kids do-Caden informed me they won 10 to 6. He is a little competitive and doesn't like to lose-we are working on that.

And this is what happens when little brother is bored and decides to jump in front of the camera.

Some other things we've been doing are blowing bubbles-well not really blowing because this isn't the old days-like the 1990's (We drove by a building once and Caden stated that it was old. He asked "when was it built-like the 1990's?) kids now have machines to blow these bubbles! Thanks Roxanne for Caden's billion bubble blower-he loves it!

Colton built a store on our steps. Only problem with his store is that you can look and "buy" but you are not allowed to take from the store. Caden has a store policy also that you can buy and take but you must return the items as soon as you pay for them-oh and no refund.
I made end of the year teacher and bus driver gifts that I remembered to take pictures of so I'll post those tomorrow:)
The LORD is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-of whom shall I be afraid?
