We Have Issues at our House

I don't know what it is lately, but we certainly have some sleep issues at our house. Don't believe me? Take a look...

How do they not wake up to the blood rushing to thier heads?

I may be reinstituting nap time for Caden; 5 pm and he was out.

Oh ya, we also have snot issues going on around here too

That's all. 

Broadway Kid

Let's take a little look back to September on Makayla's first day at Little Learners Academy Preschool:

Can it be that she is already done with her first year? This is a picture of her on her very last day of preschool:

Makayla LOVED preschool. She learned so much this year and really excelled. She was one of the first kids in her class to earn her Alphabet crown (she had to know all of her letters and their sounds), she learned so many cute songs, and she made a lot of cute friends. Already Makayla is asking when she will go back.

We got to attend her end of the year program on June 5th. The theme this year was Broadway Kids. Makayla's teachers told me Makayla was the loudest singer in her class when they would practice. Makayla would also practice all of her songs at home, so I knew we were in for a great show!

 We could tell Makayla was a little nervous with such a big audience, so Daddy went up to give her a little pep talk before the show started.

 Our little family and both sets of grandparents were there to see our little Broadway star.

 The show was adorable! I really don't think it gets much cuter than three and four year olds on stage singing.

 They sang "New York," "I don't wanna grow up," "Doe a Dear,"  and "Tomorrow" just to name a few.

 At the end her teachers gave all the kids an award. Makayla got the "Mary Poppins" award because they said she is the perfect student; she is always doing what she needs to be doing at the right time and place.

 We are just so proud of our little sweetheart and know Makayla will do well in all of her school years!

We love you Cutie!!

Our Busy May

May was incredibly busy this year, but oh so fun! Here's the random pictures from this month. 

Here's a bunch of adorable pictures of Brynnli.  Brynn learned how to pull herself up on furniture awhile back, and now that is all she does. And yes, she is literally always this happy. 

Until she gets high centered on the furniture. Then I make sure I take a picture before I help her.

 We have been trying to give the kids more one-on-one time, so Kayla and Daddy went on a little date to see Cinderella. Tyler was out of town a few days before, so when he got home he surprised Makayla with flowers for her first date. It was the cutest thing ever. He is a keeper.

 Makayla has a new friend, Kyra. She lives just a few doors down from us. They have become really good friends and hang out almost everyday. This particular day Kyra gave Makayla a make over.

 I love that Makayla has a little friend to play with, but it makes me a little sad that she is starting to get to the point where she wants to play with her friends more than play with me and Caden.

Funny side note: We left to go to the library one day and accidentally left the front door unlocked. Kyra came to our house and just walked right in. She set off our alarm and then just left. The security company couldn't get a hold of me because my phone was on silent, so apparently three police cars showed up to our house and when through our house to make sure it was secure. I can only imagine what the neighbors thought. Good grief!

Kyra came over to our house later that day and I asked her if she came to our house. She said she did, so I said to her, "Did you know our alarm went off? They thought you were a burglar." Kyra responded with (keep in mind, she can't say her r's) "What's a boogla? Like a cheese boogla?" I laughed so hard!

Anyway, here's Kayla enjoying the one day this month that it didn't rain.

 We got the kids in swimming lessons this month, and sadly this is the only picture I took of it.

Both Makayla and Caden did so well at their lessons, but I think swim lessons must have worn them out because we went to go check on Makayla before bed one night and found her like this...

I get that she was tired, but seriously? Who sleeps like this?

Caden was so worn out after swim lessons, he just couldn't make it through books. Tyler was also asleep, but he woke up as soon as I tried to take the picture, so I made him pretend to sleep, hence the smirky smile on his face. 

The zoo has a special "Zoo-rasic" event going on so we have been to the zoo twice this month to see the dinosaurs. This one was Makayla's favorite dinosaur because it sprayed water. 

 Caden didn't like the dinosaurs, so he stayed in the stroller the whole time.  It took some major coaxing to get him to pose on this dino.

 Is this the cutest picture ever? Rub-a-dub-dub three cuties in the tub.

 The kids were getting ready to give me my Mother's day present. Caden is a little confused on the day, but I'll take it!

 Great picture of me just waking up.

 I can't figure out why they love to watch shows on such a small screen. I have told them I can get the same show on the big tv, but they still prefer to watch it on the ipod.

 All gussied up for church!

 We bought a king size bed last year because the queen was too small when one of the kids would end up in our bed. We need a bigger bed now that all three kids end up in our bed. Poor Tyler got kicked out.

 Oh, my girls!

 Our swing set is complete! We can't have anymore kids because there won't be any room for all of them to swing.

Whelp! May was great. Bring on June!
