Did Someone Say GUM???

The boys were jumping on the trampoline and Will came into the house to tell on Thomas (which is not unusual),  However, what he was telling WAS unusual.  Seems that Thomas put gum in Will's hair!

When I asked Thomas how the gum got in Will's hair he said, "Well, I was jumping and the gum fell out of my mouth."  Ok ~ that makes sense.  But unfortunately for Thomas, he kept talking, "So I picked the gum up off the trampoline and put it in Will's hair!"

Luckily our hairdresser Jodie was still at work and she was able to get the gum out with some sort of oily stuff.  It's a good thing because this mom would have probably just cut it out and left a little bald spot on the side of his head!

Hello Summer!!

We went to Josh and Do Do's house for a little food and fun.  The boys didn't hesitate to strip down to their undies and take a dip in the water trough swimming pool!

Gus wasn't quite sure he wanted to join the big kids.............

And who could blame him!  Luke, Will and Thomas went a little splash crazy!

Gus decided to join them ~ and had as much fun as the rest of the cousins!

This is Will's "I'm freezing but I'm not about to get out" face.

Love Gus' plumber look!

Mass chaos in the quest to get the perfect picture!  

Not this one ~ Will's hand is in his mouth and no one's looking at the camera.

Good except Will's playing peek-a-boo and looks like a floating head.

ALMOST ~ just need to get Gus to look at the camera!

Perfect!  Nothing says "Hello Summer" like a water trough full of boys!!

Last Day of School 2012

Thomas had a major case of the sillies on his last morning as a Kindergartener.  And you know what?  I wouldn't have it any other way!

 Thomas and some fellow perfect attendance award recipients!

 This handsome, smiling boy attended school 177 days this year!  He was there every single day!   I did have to take him home early one day with a 100 degree fever (stomach bug) but it was after attendance was counted so he was technically there :)  So proud of him!!

One last picture of Thomas and Mrs. Stewart.  We sure are going to miss her next year!

Thomas's Kindergarten Graduation

Well, it seems as if I blinked and Thoams's kindergarten year is over!  He had a wonderful year!

 Thomas receiving his "diploma" from his teacher, Mrs. Stewart.  And for the record, when I sent Thomas to school his shirt was tucked in very nicely.  But by graduation at 9:00 it was not.  Oh well, he was still the most handsome boy there!

 Thomas and his wonderful teacher Mrs. Stewart.  I hate to think what this year would have been like with any other teacher.  She was soooooo good with him and he learned so many new, fun, exciting things!

 Mom and Thomas

We were so glad that Grandmother and Granddaddy could be there for the graduation ~ made it that much more special!

Kindergarten Muffins with Mom

Thomas's kindergarten class had Muffins with Moms.  The kiddos served their moms juice and mini-muffins.  It was so cute!

 Thomas making just the right choice on what kind of muffin to get me..........

One chocolate chip and one blueberry ~ and of course some orange juice.

 Yummy!

Mom and her grown-up firstborn!

Mother's Day 2012

It's hard to believe how much my boys are growing `  I love being their Mother!

 Will and Thomas wanted to pose with Carl before they posed with mom ~ I tried not to get my feelings hurt!

 Cutest boys ever!

 After church we took GG out to lunch.  We all had a really nice time!

A couple of close-ups of a couple of cuties!

Happy 4th Birthday Cate!

Our sweet friend Cate celebrated her 4th birthday, and as usual everyone had a blast!

Checking out the pony shaped cupcakes ~ I think Will was trying to get a taste.

The anticipation of the lighting of the #4 sparkler ~ a nice touch in place of the usual candle!

I think she likes it!

Notice the paparazzi photographer behind the birthday girl.

Cate's best attempt at blowing the sparkler out ~ she had to call in reinforcements............

And who better to finish the job but paparazzi Thomas!

I have no idea what that look on Will's face is all about, but it cracks me up!

Cate + Cupcake = One happy girl!

Evan, Cate and Thomas enjoying the pony rides.

After riding a real pony Evan decided to take a ride on the tire horse ~ not quite as exciting.

Cate, the girls and Will opening gifts.
