Jaden's 1st grade field trip and conference

How in the world is Jaden already done with first grade?  He has had an incredible year in Ms. Peters class.  She has been the BEST teacher!  He has grown so much this year, physically and mentally!  He is super smart and even in PACE Math.   He will probably surpass my math skills next year! He is still sweet and loves to cuddle.  I hope that never changes!  I went with him on the first grade field trip.  We went to Inner Space Caverns.  It was the first time for both of us.  It was really cool and I can't wait to go back with Brody when he goes in first grade!

 Those pictures are not the best representation of the cave , it's really pretty.  The week after the field trip, Jaden had a student led conference.  He was so excited to show me all of the hard work and cool things he had done over the year.  Don't let this picture fool you!  He was excited to share, but not excited to pose for a picture!  He gets that from his Daddy!

I am so proud of Jaden and the little man he is becoming!  7 years old is a great stage!  He is inquisitive, independent, and adorable!  I couldn't love him or this fun stage he is in anymore than I do!  I am looking forward to an amazing summer with my boys! 

Easter

Life is good if your name is Brody

If your name is Brody, you get to have one on one lunch dates with your favorite girl, your mommy, while Jaden is at big school.  And you may even get ice cream!  You will get to tell her as many stories as you would like and she gives you her undivided attention.  She loves your super hero, Chima lego adventures!

 You get to play t ball for the first time with four of your friends from school including your best friend!

 You also get to have play dates with your best friend where you eat Cheetos and play Legos

 You get to eat even more Cheetos by the pool with your brother

 You get to wear all blue and be part of the Rock Hounds

 You get to make a tough face because that is what guys do

And you get to chill whenever you want! Life is good!

Spring Break Part 2

On Thursday of Spring Break Week I dropped the boys off at the ranch for the weekend.  The Cerpanya's and G & G Bibler were there too!  

Spring Break Fun

The little ones and I headed to my home town to visit my parents for Spring Break!  We all just love spring break!  It's like a summer preview!  The boys had a great time and got to do all sort of things they don't get to do in Austin.  Their favorite was probably swimming in the mud pond.  Boys will be boys!

 When I was growing up I loved these trees. I use to plant acorns and grow them into baby trees and then my mom would plant them.   They are huge now! I still love oak trees and brought some acorns to Austin in hopes to grow baby oaks to plant in my yard!

 Both of my kiddos gave up naps years ago, but when you have a super busy morning, stay up late a few nights in a row and take a tour of the Lexington, you just can't help but catch a little cat nap in the car.  Even Jaden shut his eyes for a few minutes.

The boys loved the Lexington!  I hope to go back again when they are a little older and can really appreciate the history!  We only toured half of the deck below so I imagine there is lots more to see!  I love my parents more than words can say and my boys do too!  I am so blessed to get to spend so much time with them and get to do so many cool things with them and my kids!
