Life and Science Museum

As a family celebration for Ryan's birthday we spent the afternoon at the Life and Science Museum. Both kids love this museum, especially because most of it is outdoors and so they can run, play and be as loud as they want. We got a membership since it pays for itself in about 2 visits and we have a good month and a half of summer vacation not yet planned out- it's possible we will be seeing a lot of this museum in the coming months. 

Ryan's Classroom Birthday Treat

I was able to eat lunch with Ryan and take him and his class a birthday treat (Brownies and Cupcakes) today. Grandpa also stopped by before me to give Ryan his birthday present (and let him borrow the hat) and then Dad picked him up from school to go to Dave and Busters (an arcade type place). Overall he loved his birthday and all the attention it brought him! 

Ryan Through the Years

Happy Birthday my little man. All these pictures were taken in May so there is exactly one year between them. I can't believe how much life changes in a year when you have children.

School Uniform

Ryan's new school require the kids to have uniforms. I thought it would be a struggle to convince him to try it on much less wear it... but I was WRONG. The kid loved it, he thinks it makes him look handsome. He even opted for the cardigan sweater, and was upset with me when I told him he couldn't wear it home (in the 90 degree weather) because they had to embroider the school seal. Hopefully when fall rolls around he will still be as excited!

Mothers Day at School

Both kids celebrated mothers day in their classes by inviting moms in for a "Lady I love" event. We started with Ryan's class, there we had breakfast and were entertained with a song and story. A few hours later Audrey's class hosted a mothers day lunch where we got to eat and then read stories with our kids. Over all it was a great day and the kids really liked Kenzie and I coming in to celebrate with them. 

TBall Season

Ryan has started Tball again, this year is coach pitch! He loves it and he seems like a good athlete. I will post more pictures throughout the season. I actually have a chance to take them now that I am not the coach this season. 

Kenzie 2 Month Stats

Kenzie went in for her 2 month Check up (a little over a week after she turned 2 months). She weighs 10 pounds 13.5 ounces (25%), she is 22 inches long (25%)  and her head is 41 cm (97%). She is healthy and doing great!

Strawberry Picking

Not a Good Start

What a way to start the week... Conjunctivitis and a double ear infection.... oh and did I mention that Don is out of town for the whole week. Oh and I have a cold. 

Star Wars Baseball

We went to the Durham Bulls Baseball game tonight with Uncle David and Aunt Meg. We also happened to have seats right next to the Parker family! It was a great night, especially because it is May 4th which is Star Wars day! Audrey spent most of her time stalking the storm troopers.

Portrait

My friend is the school photographer at the kids school. So I (and my children) are the lighting guinea pigs. I posed for her to get the right lighting for teacher portraits. This picture is a perfect representation of parenthood- hair up, no makeup, t-shirt and yoga pants... that tired look in my eyes, but still happy!
