Busy weekend.

Well, I am beginning to realize that my life is just always going to be crazy busy from now on. With Carter starting Kindergarten this year and all our other activities - we are keeping busy. And I know that this is only the beginning. It's all fun stuff, though, and the kids are enjoying it all. This past weekend, we had Nana with us for soccer games and then we headed to Palm Springs for a quick trip. Below are some pictures from our weekend. Kathie, thanks for all your help with the kiddos!! :)

Soccer!

Palm Springs

Jason's first day of Preschool.

Well, this morning was a big milestone for our family. Our #2, Jason, headed off to his first day of Preschool. He was very worried that Mommy would be leaving him there. After we were there, after his first ride on the tire swing, and after finding some friends, he didn't even really acknowledge me leaving. :( Selfishly, I may have liked one of my boys to shed some tears as I left them for the first day of school, as if they may not be able to go on without me. No such luck. :) He was all smiles when I picked him up, and can't wait to go back on Thursday!! He even told me ALL about his day, which if you know Jason, is a big deal. Anyway, here are some pictures of my little cutie before we left for school and at his school. Oh, and Carter's big bonus of afternoon kindergarten is that from 8:30 - 9:00 he can play with Jason on his playground (Carter's school form last year) before they are called into class. So it was very cute - this morning Carter was showing Jason "the ropes" - and if you know Carter - that was way more info than Jason needed. :)

A few warm fuzzies from our day.

First one came after lunch and these boys were pooped out! They slept this way for about an hour. I was a little jealous because good snuggle time is hard to come by when boys get bigger - they're just too busy! :)



Second ones came from my boys as they prayed for our lunch and dinner.

First was Carter at lunch:
"Dear God, Thank you for this day.
Thank you for my mom, my dad, my brother and my sister.
Thank you for all the things we have and for our home.
Thank you for this food you have provided for us.
Thank you for the trees, flowers and bushes so that we can see you, God.
In your Son's name, Amen."

Then it was Jason's turn to pray for dinner:
"Dear God, Thank you for no monsters in this house. Amen."

Oh, my little boys. So fun to hear their thoughts when they pray. :)

Awww!

So, even though my boys will someday be totally embarassed by this picture, I couldn't help but share it. They share a room, and Jason's bed is a trundle that sits right next to Carter's. When Kenny checked on them tonight, this is how he found them. I'm sure Carter moved afer they were asleep, but still so sweet. What more can I say?
