My big boy graduated KG today!! CRAZY!!!! The little stinker lucked out moving to AZ they get out of school so early, had we stayed in TX he would still have another month. He was so excited for us to come and see him perform in the graduation. It was the perfect length of about 20 minutes they sang three songs and he was so fun to watch. Brody and the other boys loved finding him and watching, too! This is my big 'MAN' right before we left, doesn't he look old?!
This is right before we went in with his cousin Bay-Lou, they are in the same class. Cute cousins!!
This is them waiting to perform while the crazy parents went wild screaming for their kid and waving and taking pictures. Telling you, OUT OF CONTROL. It is really funny to me how people react to things!! People brought balloons and flowers. All my poor kid got was a pat on the back, I must be a terrible parent, the thought never even crossed my mind to get him a gift for graduating. :0
Here is Garrett and his new teacher Mrs. Connelly in the Bug Class at Sunset Hills Elementary!
Trevor took the boys to the Father and Sons with Uncle Matt and the cousins. Garrett took the day off of school Friday and they headed up in the morning after breakfast. First stop was a small lake on the way for a little attempt at fishing, the kids attention would only last a few minutes.
The ducks were crazy and chased them out of there.
Finally they made it to the camp site. It is high in the mountains so it is much cooler. It kind of reminded Trev of our old place in Spokane.
It got down in the low 40's so they all bundled up. Dinner didn't turn out the way they were hoping so they headed into town for McDonald's.
Picture of the boys pretending to be asleep. Mason should be an actor!! He.he. Trev cozied up in between them after they fell asleep. He rotated them every hour to help keep them warm.
Mason fell down 30 seconds after they got there and cried on and off about needing band-aids the whole time. Even when they got home I walked in on Trev bathing the boys and Mase was in tears that his ouchy was hurting him and he needed a band aid. Very traumatizing!!
Matt is the five year champion of horse shoes.
And this is what the boys looked like after their adventure camping...
It is spirit week at school and today was Hawaiian day so Grandma Carol bought Garrett and Nate an Hawaiian shirt at the Goodwill for their day. Carol loves Hawaii and had to have us get a picture. They were all so cute it makes me want to go to Hawaii, looks like so much fun!! Never have been but maybe someday!! :)
I had a great Mother's Day this year. Garrett and Porter have been so excited about it and have been wanting to get me flowers, they have talked on and off since last year. They are so funny Porter would ask me over and over all week, "Mom? Do you still remember what I am going to get you for Mother's Day?" Me, "Yes!" Porter would then give me the cutest little grin around and say, "Is it Mother's Day, today?" On Saturday day I said, "No, it's tomorrow." and he says, "YEAH!" What a little sweet heart!! Trevor made me a delicious breakfast of french toast and Mexican for dinner, plus my favorite, strawberry short cake!" Garrett was so excited to show me his mother's day gifts he made at school. When he brought them home he was so cute about making sure I wasn't going to get in his bag and having Trevor help him hide it. Which is really good because he use to not be able to stand waiting and he would just tell you what he got you or in this case made!! I got lots of little hand prints from all little boys except the Brod. And my very favorite is the little book Garrett made for me. .....
A couple of weekends ago we were suppose to be going on a ward camp out and Grandma Carol bought the kids a kite for for the trip. Poor little Porter ended up being sick with the flu, the poor thing could hardly move he was so sick. The boys were so sad to be missing the, "camp". Porter went from about 10:30 throwing up every hour at least 2-3 times until around 5:00 and after he went about an hour with out throwing up he says, "Okay, I am feeling better now we can go to the camp!" I felt so bad for him and told him we wouldn't be able to make it. He says, "Can we still fly the kite?" in such a sad little voice. I told him we could the next day and he held me to that, they were so excited to go and fly the kite. It ended up being a perfect day to fly a kite, they had so much fun! Thank you Grandma!!
