Sunday & Summer has begun...





While yesterday was a bit windier than I like today has been beautiful! The weekend in general was just amazing. Started out Saturday morning garage sale-ing with mom and managed some fabulous finds! (including an antique iron headboard yipee! What to do with it hmmm). Today was enjoyed OUTSIDE. After the winter that we had I am more than happy to spend as much time outdoors and enjoy the beautiful weather.. even if it is still a liiiiiiitle windy. :) The kids splashed and played, the dogs bathed in the sun, & Mike and I are content. Great weekend. It's not over yet either, tonight is the series finale of LOST!! I am excited, although I missed the last 8+ weeks due to having class on Tuesday nights :( however I am excited to watch the finale!!!!! Hope everyone has had a great weekend, hugs to you all and here's to a great week ahead!

A Saturday Afternoon - Scout






This Saturday Scout and I enjoyed some time together while she explored her room. It's a whole new world for her now that she is on the move. Watching her roam and discover things is so much fun and was worthy of some photos...

Great Weekend!





We have had a wonderful weekend! Saturday was spent out in the yard, where Kole helped me plant some flowers and Scout watched. Mike was busy organizing/cleaning the garage, & Logan took a very long, very much needed nap. Then Scout & Daddy got a nap in as well. Saturday night we went over to a BBQ at a friends house. Scout was not the littlest there! We got to see a baby that is just a few weeks old. Really makes me realize how big Scout is getting. The boys had a great time playing and Miss Scout enjoyed seeing other babies. There was a little boy there who is just about 10 weeks older than her, I was trying to get him to show her some tips on pulling yourself up. Haha.
Today was spent the way every Sunday should be, napping, lounging, & watching movies :)
We also are introducing Scout to a sippy cup now. She managed to chew quite the hole in her bottle on Friday so time to start with the cups I guess! Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a wonderful week!

Logan at the zoo





Mike and I were able to accompany Logan's class to the Omaha Zoo on Thursday. So much fun. The day started out a little cool but walking around and going in and out of the exhibits quickly warmed us up! The jungle was down right hot!! It's hard to believe that another school year is almost in the books. This next Wednesday is the boys' last day of school, hard to believe that Kole will be in middle school next year, and that Logan is just about done with kindergarten already. It seems that Kole should still be in kindergarten and that Logan should be Scout's age. Anyway here are a few photos from our time there. We got to see the new Madagascar exhibit, it was exciting, but I have to admit I thought there would be more too it. Anyway, a good time was had. :) I had to share a photo of the aquarium, it IS my favorite part!!

The boys' Spring Program




The boy's had their spring school program this last week. It was very nice, it had a patriotic theme and they sang songs about the 50 states and how proud they are to be Americans. Kole's class did a memorable song called "The President's Rap" and my favorite from Logan's was "Yankee Doodle Dandy". Very sweet and the entire program was a nice tribute to our soldiers present and past who have served our great nation. Hard to believe that the school year is coming to an end. I hear every day how many days are left (I think we are at 11??) Kole is getting ready to move on to the middle school and it's hard to think that Logan is going into first grade. I'll say it again.. where does the time go???

I forgot too mention...


Scout is crawling! Amazingly she started at home when Mike and I were both able to see her. :) I even checked with daycare too see if she had been doing it there and nope. She saved it just for us. The boys quickly came to see when we told them she learned something new. Let the baby proofing begin! We already have our baby gate up because of the new puppy to keep her from wandering up/downstairs unsupervised, now it works for Scout too. ;) We also noticed last night that she is getting in three additional teeth to the one that broke through last week. She now has the top and bottom two coming in, and yet she still maintains her happy baby attitude.

9 Months





Well Miss Scout has celebrated her 9 month birthday! Hard to believe that she is nine months already.. then again I think I say that with each passing month. She is just growing so fast and it doesn't seem possible that she will be 1 in just a few months time. Sorry for the delay with the post, it has a been a busy busy week!
Here are her photos... enjoy!
