Ty Puppets Fieldtrip

Ty's Kindergarten class took a field trip to The Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta.  All the kids were excited and I was too since I got to attend.  The kids rode on the bus and all the parents drove separate.  When I saw Ty get off the bus I noticed him with his friend Allie.  Allie hopped off the bus and immediately whispered something to her mom; her mom looked at me and said, "Allie said Ty tried to kiss her on the bus".  Sure enough, I asked my son and he admitted it.  Allie's mom and I had a good laugh and I told Ty not to be kissing the girls!  

The kids got to make a cat puppet and move it to sound effects on a screen.  Then we ate lunch and watched a unique full stage puppet show; their own version of Beauty and the Beast (nothing like the Disney version).  The kids got a little bored and restless, but the puppets were very impressive.  

Later, after we were home I told Jeff about the field trip and he asked Ty what was it about Allie that he liked and why did he try to kiss HER?  His reply, "because she was sitting next to me"!  

Muffins with Mom & Ty

I came to school to have breakfast with Ty to celebrate Mother's Day.  The kindergarden teachers hosted a great time for the moms and the kids and Mrs. Blackburn read the book "I'll love you forever".  Evidently Ty thinks I'm very tall and skinny. :-)  I love that I get this time with them while they are young and I know it won't last long.

Skyzone for Jackson's Party

After 2 soccer games we went to skyzone (which just opened) to celebrate Jackson's 10th birthday.  The place is huge and the boys had a blast.  They played dodge ball, jumped into a foam pit, and jumped all over the place.  It was a great place for kids to burn some energy.  We had fun with our church family celebrating Jackson!

Pool is Open!

The boys have anxiously been waiting to swim for the first time this year and today was the perfect day for our first swim!  We're looking forward to enjoying it all summer.  And Ty found a frog, I think we have a few of them that live around here. :-)

Bon Fire

Tonight was a great night for a bon fire.  The boys find the sticks and love to make a fire.  I love that we get to do this in our new house!  Life with boys.

Our new pup

After much persuasion, Jeff finally agreed to get a puppy.  We have always said we would get (another) dog one day, and with the land we have at our new house, it seems the time is right.  I saw pictures from a friend of a friend on fb and I wanted one immediately, so today we brought her home.  Mark and I picked her up from Shelby this morning while the older boys were in school and we surprised them when we picked them up in the car line- she rode with us.  They were very surprised!

She loves running around with them, but she gets tired very easily.  We are excited to have her as a part of our family.

Soccer Opening Day

We are very excited for the boys first soccer games!  They both played really well and had a great time!
