Before & After.

Thanks to a recent visit from Aunt Ali, Thayer's eyes and ears can finally be seen.

Aunt Ali's DH ceremony.

My sister Alison, had her pinning ceremony for Dental Hygiene in KC. The kids and I were able to attend and are super proud of her accomplishment. Linley loved being a patient for her and Thayer will get to be a patient of mine come next school year! This is the first time in quite awhile that we were able to get a family picture of all of us, can you tell there will be a few new additions this summer? Watching her walk across the stage fueled the fire for the journey I am about to embark on this fall. I can't wait to be pinned 2 years from now!

Last day of preschool.

Linley is officially finished with preschool. Thayer has enjoyed riding along to drop off or pick up big sister and is excited about going to "his" school this August. The last picture is of Linley's last day of school last year, boy what a difference a year makes. She looks so much older and confident.

End of year school picnic.

We attended Linley's end of school picnic Tuesday night. She will miss her friends and wonderful teachers immensly next year, but is very excited to meet new ones in Kindergarten come fall. We feel blessed that she was able to attend Stonehouse for 2 years and highly recommend their program!

Blue-eyed boy.

One word. Heartbreaker.

Our monkey.

As of lately when we head to the park Linley is glued to the monkey bars aka flip bars as she calls them. She has callouses on her hands, that's how often this girl continuously plays on the bars. It amazes me how far she has come from last year. She wouldn't allow herself to hang without support last year and now if you try to help her she gets upset with you. I apologize for anyone who's kid is patiently waiting for my child to take a break from the bars, she'll come down when her hands bleed.

Mother's Day 2010

Despite my injured toes due to a mishap in yoga class Saturday morning, today turned out to be a wonderful day. After church we ate lunch with some of our family in Manhattan. Thank you Melissa for opening your house to our wild family regardless of your packed up abode. The kids and Kip got me some new yoga pants, which I hope to be putting to use later on this week depending on my recovery. Happy Mother's Day to my 2 pregnant sisters and wonderful Mom, I hope you had a great day!

Here comes trouble.

We love our Little Caesars pizza and crazy bread dinners with our good friends Julie and her son Brayden. The 3 kids had a blast recently riding their 4wheelers while Julie and I enjoyed our wine:)
