Got a cap (and tassle too)

Rocco graduated from preschool on May 28th...and I know I used to think that preschool graduations were kinda silly (obviously in my pre-mommy days) but now I realize that its just "cuteness" in every sense of the word.

Yes, they actually had caps with tassles!!

This was the one picture where R was not making one of his infamous silly faces

They did an alligator skit showing all the stuff they know

Receiving his diploma (the very smart teachers just rolled up a piece a paper for the photo op and then gave the parents the real deal later)

Enjoying some ice scream afterwords to celebrate.....

Backyard discovery

We recently discovered that we have a natural ant farm living under our makeshift patio. Which provided some fascinating entertainment for R&R below.

I am always surprised at the nature we find in our smallish fenced in backyard. At any rate its fun to watch the boys learn about the world around them.

Couldnt you just watch this for hours? Ants are truelly amazing insects, did you know that there are over 10,000 different species of these little insects? Hopefully not all of them are in our backyard...but I never cease to be amazed when I look at even the smallest of creations what an amazing world God created.

Portrait

Here is my portrait...created by my 4 year old son...not sure when I died my hair black but.....

My Mom is the prettiest when we go to the zoo and get our picture taken
My favorite thing to do with my mom is play Geo Trax
I like it when my Mom plays Legos with me
The best thing my Mom cooks is Chili Mac
She uses beans and Chili to make it
My Mom always says, "Lets go in the Basement and play"
My Mom is funny when she does funny stuff
When I am at school, my mom watches my brother

There you have it...glad to know I am funny when I am doing funny stuff...there will come a time when I will be an embarressment to him when trying to be funny so for now, I'll take it!
Happy Mothers day to all you mothers out there....hope you feel as blessed and loved as I do!!!

Aunt Aubrey's visit

John's younger sister Aubrey stopped by and stayed with us for a night on her travels.....

The boys love having visiters and assume that everyone that comes is here to play with them...
and Aunt Aubrey was no exception!!! here she is trying to work and the boys are mobbing her....

I finally had to physically intervene so that her computer would not be destroyed. She made quite an impression with her visit to the point that whenever they hear someone come in the door they tell me that it is probably Aunt Aubrey...but it usually ends up being Daddy....

Thanks for stopping by Aunt Aubrey....we were happy to let you see a sneak peak of what your life will be like in a couple years...
