Can you see him?? He's there...

another year...another birthday...

My wonderful family started my special day out by treating me to breakfast at our favorite local dinner. Then we headed off to church and an anniversary party for our church. But the BEST part was the wonderful dinner my hubby made and the delicious ice cream and cake he picked up at the store. Thank you so much to my family for making my day so very special!!

Fitting In...

Easton has had a great year in kindergarten and has grown SO much this first year of school. He has such a sweet, loving soul and is known for standing up for some of his friends when others are picking on them. However, he is still a {newly} 6 year old who so badly wants to be liked by others, with that said I am sure he would NEVER doing anything extreme to fit in. Today when I went to pick Easton up from his after school program, I ran into his teacher and she informed that she had learned that Easton and an accomplice{girl} had written on the bus seat with a permanent marker. His teacher did not learn of the incidence until after school and had yet to talk to the two of them, but she did tell me she believed the girl told Easton to write on the seat and that she had brought the marker from home. When I questioned Easton about the so called incident he lied...but the more information I knew the more he decided telling the truth might be better. It breaks my heart to know my little baby is just growing up and just wants to fit in...but at the same time he knew what he did was wrong and he should not have done it. He feels bad about what he did {or at least about getting caught}, so instead of playing with legos or drawing, Easton had to write an apology note to his bus driver.

Washington, DC

We headed to Washington, DC a couple weekends ago for Daddy's body building show. We were able to leave several days before the show and enjoy some sight seeing around the Capital City. Unfortunately, there was a BIG event at the White House so we weren't able to get as close as we would have liked, but at least we saw it. The kids had a BLAST and we are looking forward to going back once they are a little older. More pictures to come!!

Recycled Robot Parade...

Easton's school had a kindergarten recycled robot parade for Earth Day. Easton and Daddy worked SO hard on his recycled robot, they used computer parts from a local trash dump, old toy parts, and even our broken microwave parts that we asked the repair man if we could keep. His robot even made a siren noise...it was a security robot. Easton was the STAR of the parade, we had so many other parent and older children tell us and Easton how awesome his robot was. It was obvious he was SO proud!!
