Summertime...

I can't decide if I want summer to go quickly or slowly. Everyday I wake up and I want the day to last and I want to make the most of it that I can. I know that this is my last summer with Logan before he starts school and I really want to make the most of it. But, by the end of each and everyday I am ready for the summer to go by quickly and to get it over with and to get him into school. Then I count the weeks left and I feel guilty. I love both him and Kolby to death, but they have a way of driving me crazy. I feel like I am going to go insane. I mean who knew that a 5 year old and his almost 2 year old little brother could gang up on one mom so many times in a day. They love to play together and then the next minute one of them is screaming or crying that the other one did this or that. So I go in there and separate them and 2 minutes later they are begging to play together again. And so the cycle begins. I don't know what I am going to do with them. Besides, it is really hard to punish them when they are using such great teamwork to get on my nerves. :) I guess I shouldn't encourage that.

Besides driving me crazy the boys are doing really well. Logan is really enjoying his 4 wheeler that he got for his birthday from my parents and Kolby is really wishing that he had one. We are headed for Croom next week (4th of July) to do some camping, hiking, and riding. Hopefully it won't rain to much and Logan will get to test out his new ATV in the kiddie area. I love this trips that we take and they give the boys a good sense of the outdoors. Sometimes you wonder if you are spoiling your kids too much (Yes I am) and I just feel like putting them outside in nature helps bring them back to their senses. Besides I love being outside with them and watching them discover new things. They also love camping and think it is the greatest thing in the world. I am really lucky that my parents bought a RV and we are able to camp year around.

Logan had a great birthday party and he had lots of friends show up. Despite the rain (it was outside at the park) we were able to pull off all the games including the race car elimination game that we planned. He got lots of great gifts, including some that are really going to stimulate his mind (super important). I am off to planning Kolby's birthday party now. It is a dinosaur dig in the backyard and I have collected some really cool ideas on the Internet (Thank you to all the moms who have come before me and posted their great party ideas out there) and I have come up with some of my own and hopefully we can pull off Kolby's party with great success. I always feel terrible because Logan had a great 1st birthday and Kolby got ripped off because I was working and then my dad had a heart attack so we really had a tiny party for Kolby. I am trying to make up for it this year even though he will not remember or know the difference. I already created the invites and now I just have to make them. They are really cute dinosaurs and I just love them. Keep a look out for them, hope you love them just as much.

Other than that there isn't much to report about the boys. Logan will start speech in another week, Kolby is doing great in speech, and after soccer camp in July Logan will trade in his dancing shoes for a Karate uniform. I am hoping that he likes this new activity and learns some discipline from it. After Croom hopefully I will have more to tell you about.

Logan's Favorites...

Logan Graduated

So June 4th was the big day and Logan graduated from Bright Beginnings Preschool. It was a super cute ceremony and he won the Math Award (or reward as he kept telling us). He was in a cap and gown and I just can't begin to explain the emotion that went through me. It was crazy. I never thought that I would cry, but I was so overwhelmed with joy and grief that my baby is now a big boy. It is hard to let go. So he starts school in Aug at Westside and I am pretty excited for him. He is going into an all boys classroom which I am looking forward to. I know that this summer will be a special one and we will make lots of treasured memories so keep looking out on both blogs to see what is going on.
