The first grader

Here he is...all ready for first grade. So far things have gone well at school. As hard as it is to believe, he is still VERY well behaved according to everyone I ask. Zoe loves her new bike and was riding all around tonight. We are off to get to bed early tonight..this morning we were all a little tired and grumpy.

Love you!

She keeps getting bigger and bigger....

Zoe has been involved in some"big girl" events this summer. I know many of you have already seen her ride her bike with out training wheels, which she mastered in two days. She also has stopped sucking her thumb and needing her blanky (well, 98% of the time- she only needs it in great times of stress). We went out to celebrate at her favorite restaurant, Panda Express and then to Marmaduke. And finally all her years of taking care of Shayla, Fayla, Kyroo and all the other babies is paying off as her new cousins are arriving. Max and Peaches will be well cared for when Zoe is around. Hopefully I can get caught up and get out some more summer highlights soon!

Rocky Dogs!

I am way behind updating this blog...but will try to catch up this week. Here are the kids with Grandpa at the Rockies game over Father's day weekend. You can see everyone had a great time, and the Rockies won!

Sky Sox

We went to our first Sky Sox game last week and we got to sit right next to the dugout. Zoe and I each got a ball from the manager, he said I had to be nice to my sister and keep the mustard off my face when I eat hot dogs. How did he know I have trouble with both of those requests? There were some Rockies playing down here that day. Dexter Fowler is batting behind me and that is Houston Street behind me signing the ball, he signed my ball first and I got a bunch of other autographs. It was hot, but it was an awesome day at the ball park!

Summer???

Hard to believe this is what we were doing two weeks ago and today we are wearing pants and sweatshirts, and it is COLD!! Just hanging around this weekend, and we won't be on our swimsuits!
Talk to you soon!

School is out for Summer!

The end of Kindergarten is here, and I can't believe it! I loved being at Evans this year. Here are some pictures of my class and my friends Analise and Taylor, who I went to an extra reading class with this year. Analise is a little "girly" for me, but Taylor is a good friend. We had a performance, and I was really hot, but I hung in there....I would have rather been playing baseball.
Zoe finished level one of preschool and she may have gotten more awards her first year than me. She is really good at school and got a Leadership award from Ms. Angela. She said she is always helping out and keeping everyone in line. (sounds a bit like a "bossy" award to me). I will admit, I am proud of her, just like Mommy and Daddy are. Even though we both love school, I think I love summer just a little bit more!
Love you all!!

Weekend Fun

A little glimpse into our weekends. Two of the last 3 three weekends we have gone to the zoo and we are ALWAYS in the driveway. Quinn would prefer a game of baseball with some of his friends, he even recruited some of our adult neighbors on Sunday. He doesn't really care, the more outfielders the better. For awhile he was doing lunges so he could get strong enough to dunk. I'm pretty sure he is getting ready to log in about 8+ hours of playing outside once school is out. Zoe, she just kind of does her own thing and wanders around with Giovanna and their new friend Riley who lives down the street, She was trying to decide at dinner the other night if she is a girly girl or a tom girl...either way, she is pretty good entertainment!
