I have been meaning to get to this blog since, oh about Easter, and now it is the middle of May! Where does time go! Time has always gone fast, but it just seems lightening speed lately! Speaking of time going fast, I can not believe that my little Kindergartner is almost done with his first year of school. It went so fast. Also, my baby is going to be 2 in less then a month. I know two is not really a baby, but he is always my baby! Where is the pause button on life….?
So I guess I have a lot to catch up, so sorry if this gets boring. Remember, I do this as much for myself as for others! J
Easter was fun for the boys! We had an Easter egg hunt at our subdivision and Payton really enjoyed it. Easton was a little frightened and would not go anywhere near the Easter bunny! He just kept saying, “No….no…no,no,no”. Then the next morning we hunted eggs at home and then that afternoon at Grandmas house. By then he was finally into the egg finding thing!
The next week my grandmother flew up from Florida! It was good to see her and Payton likes it when she comes because they play the piano together. It sounds like there is a possibility that she will be moving here soon! That is exciting news! She is crazy to move from tropical Florida to the Midwest, but how could you not want to live near to my adorable boys! ;-) One of the days that she was here just happened to be the same day as the Grandparents luncheon at school! So Payton thought it was pretty cool that great-grandma got to come to that as well. And of course I forgot to send my camera with my mom, so I have no pictures of that.
Payton has his last soccer game of the spring season this weekend. I am actually kind of bummed because he has really done a good job this year and really enjoys it. Easton really enjoys going to his games and kicking a ball around the field too. He still thinks he wants to play tennis, so we will be trying that this summer. He has never played before except for on the Wii, so it could be interesting. He is also taking swimming lessons once a week at night. He is a busy boy!
This past weekend was mothers day and I spent the weekend putting a textured stain on the deck and painting the garage floor! (They both look awesome now!!) The funny thing is, I actually really enjoy that stuff, which is good because I have a bunch more projects to get done in the next few weeks. I know, call me strange. Justin and I started on the deck restoration on Saturday, but after he got finished with his portion, and I had to redo that section, we decided that he should not continue! He is no longer allowed to help with any sort of painting! So on Sunday, he and the boys played in the yard while I stained away and stopped to play in between! It was a good day to be outside and just hang out with my boys.
Besides our non-stop lives, I wanted to write a bit about the boys themselves. I want to brag on them a bit. I am so unbelievably proud of the person that Payton is becoming. He has become such a patient and caring big brother to Easton. Yes, they have their fighting moments where he gets mad if Easton gets into his stuff, or whatever. But overall, he is so patient. Much more then what I think a typical 6 year old would be. He is constantly trying to teach Easton things and is normally really good about giving up something so Easton can have it. The other day in the bath, Payton tried to teach Easton how to say ‘photosynthesis’! I have seen a big change in him since he started school. Not only has he seemed to grow a lot (nothing fits from last year!), but he seems much more confident and grown-up like. Yes, he is also getting that school age attitude, but its not to bad overall!
Easton is starting to communicate so much. He really wasn’t talking as much as I thought he should be before. He could communicate, but just didn’t feel like talking that much. But lately he has started to talk a lot more. He will move up to the two year old class soon, so I think when he is around the older kids he will start to talk even more. He has grown a lot too! Not much of his stuff fits either! I need to stop feeding these boys! ;-) He has the funniest personality and knows it! He adores Payton and copies pretty much anything that he does. He really likes to ‘read’ books and play ow-side (outside)! He stands by the door and says “ow-side, ow-side” a lot! He is a big cuddler, when he wants to be. He likes to be carried a lot and loves to watch out the window for daddy to come home. He thinks he is a big boy now and refuses to even sit in a booster seat to eat anymore and he wants to drink out of a big boy cup. Not always successful, but he tries!
I am looking forward to a fulfilled summer with all my boys! We have lots of things planned the next few weeks, so I will try and update pictures as I can.
(I added some pictures to the Spring 2011 folder).
