Busted...

I got a call from Aiden's school this morning. They wanted to let me know that Aiden and a classmate ran into each other. And because Aiden stands almost a whole head taller than most kids his age, his lip slammed into the other little boys head. Leaving Aiden with a cut and bruise on his lip.

Showing off his battle wound.

We headed back out the pool yesterday. Check out our little fish!


Here are my two favorite boys on Father's Day!

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!!

WHEW!


Boy, have we been misleading; you would look at this thing and think we've had nothing going on – HA! Life is great for us these days. We are so busy and loving it. I LOVE my job. Surprisingly we all have adapted to our new life style very easily. Aiden loves his new school. He is growing SO fast!

Mother's day was wonderful. I am the most spoiled mommy EVER. I got a weekend away with a great group of women to scrapbook! It was AWESOME!

We had our portraits made with a wonderful photographer, Erin (http://www.epcaptures.com/). We'll be doing some real family portraits with her at the end of the month with little miss. I can't wait! These were so fun to do.


Ryann finished up school last week. She has been counting down the days for a while now. We still believe Ryann was too advanced for the class she was in this past year, and we are hoping that she'll be in a class more her speed next year. We heard all year long how board she was in this class, and that she already knew how to do most things they were learning. She did learn how to read, and is now reading EVERYTHING. I love sitting and listening to her read, I don't care what it is; it sounds so sweet! She'll be here for soccer season again this summer, so be on the lookout for that schedule soon.

As I said, Aiden is growing so fast. He amazes us daily with the things he can say and how fast he is learning-- everything! He cracked his Gamma up last weekend talking about Galaxies, telling her Earth is in the Milky Way. His reading skills are improving more and more everyday. He can, (if he WANTS to) get through about a six page early reader by himself, (that is approximately a 40 word book.) His teacher tells us that he is very well liked by his classmates that they all love him being there. I think he tells me he has a new "best friend" every other day.

We love this summer like weather we've been having. Took advantage of it this weekend and went for our first swim of the year. Aiden was a little fish. He was swimming back and fourth between the walls, steps and Mommy and Daddy. Ryann is SO ready to go swimming. The last weekend she was with us we went and got her a new suit. I think she told us 700 times that she can't wait to learn how to swim this year. It will be so nice when they both can swim freely. Trips to the pool will be so much FUN!

I guess that's it for us now. I'm working on getting more pictures up in our photo albums, so check that out when you get a chance. Until next time; have a great summer!
