Caleb's field day at school

Caleb had a great last week of school. I went to watch him on his field day...Toby and Leisel joined me too! It wasn't too hot and the kids got worn out, so overall I would say it was a successful day. Caleb had a wonderful school year...there were a few times Caleb got in trouble, but we worked through them and he has become a more mature little boy, who loves Math and Reading.

Memorial Day

Ken's parents came out for a visit over Memorial Day. It was a short visit, but nice.

I'm slacker mom (Pt II)

Our neighbor Emma is very creative! (like her Mamma)

Very rare that Caleb fell asleep in the car...and stayed that way.

Breakfast in Bed for Mother's day! It was better than my birthday!!!! It's awesome to be a mom...I am so Thankful to be able to be a mom to Caleb, Toby, and Leisel....(Hope I feel the same way when they are tweens/teens/young adults).

We have to take pictures of the things they boys make...otherwise it sits on my counter for weeks.

Before his haircut!!!! They look the part eh?

I am a slacker Mom

Okay, here are the soccer pics from this spring. I would be better at this, but the computer that has all the pics on it is sooo slow...because all the pics are on it and we need to move them off. Toby and Caleb both played soccer this spring. Ken was Toby's coach AND he started his new job at the same time....I know if he hadn't volunteered to be coach he wouldn't have gotten the job. Anyway, Caleb had a great season. He made a ton of goals this season and really loves to play....Toby not so much. It got him out exercising, though.

our trip to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge

I guess I forgot to blog about our trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. It was a great little trip. I was pleasantly surprised at all the things to see and do there. So much that we are planning on going back again over the summer...if we can fit it in...

We have been VERY busy. Ken started his new job with Bosch right after our trip and has been working a lot of hours...but he has a great boss and works with some great guys. He is not used to working for a company at the top, so it's got it's blessings and it's curses. We have had to adjust to him not being around as much--not to mention he was Toby's soccer coach...and Caleb played on another team...(sorry about the underline-I'm not sure how to get rid of it)
We got to swim almost everyday.

Nothing Sweeter than a sleeping baby.

okay a sleeping 3 year old is pretty sweet too! He fell asleep on the train!

We rode on the train all over Dollywood. The lines were crazy long. The train was one of the few rides that could handle the crowds.

We went to Dollywood and Leisel rode her first Carosel.

We had fun on this ride...Toby got the wettest. He was a good sport about it though.

I just thought this house was the cutest.

We did a lot of things in Pigeon Forge. Caleb and Toby got to go up on stage at the Comedy Barn. This was a show they have there. Very family friendly and GOOD.

We also went on a hike that totaled 2.5 miles. It was up hill and down again. Caleb did awesome, He fell near the end. On the trail there were signs that said "be careful: people have fallen to their deaths!" luckily we made it out alive! Toby did whine the whole time. See how happy they are at the end? (Sarcasm) It was really hot that day too.
It's hard to keep boys out of trees.

Easter Bunny came!

We had a hard time convincing Toby. He didn't believe the Easter Bunny came. He thought it was us!!! After much convincing he decided to believe....

Dyeing the Easter Eggs outside...

Throwing a fit.
