Chuckie Cheese

While Easton was at a friend's birthday party on Friday we decided to take Waylon and London to Chuckie Cheese for the first time. And it's no surprise to any parent reading this that they LOVED it. Thankfully it's a good 45 mins away, so we won't have to go there again anytime soon.

Graduation...

My littlest man graduated from Pre-School on Tuesday. However, he really didn't graduate to kindergarten, because of his September birthday, we've decided it would be BEST for Waylon to attend junior kindergarten. So next year he will attend junior kindergarten, half day/everyday, while London will nursery school at the same school 2 days/week, also half day. Because kindergarten here is half day Waylon will hopefully feel like he's in kindergarten.

Hockey Mom

Easton tried out for a hockey travel team for next year...and I am pretty sure I was more nervous than he was. He had 3 days of try-outs...out on the ice with 50 other hockey players, some he knew and a lot he didn't. He was trying out for the A or B team, hoping to just make one of the teams. Surprisingly he made the B team...and I couldn't have more proud of him. It was one of the most nerve racking experiences I have had as a mom. I honestly did not care if he made the team...but I knew it was important to him...and I also know that although he's not one of the best hockey players out there, he truly believes he is. I want him going through life thinking he is the BEST at what he loves...my heart was breaking for him, thinking he didn't make the team. But now that he's made the team, I couldn't be more happy!! I LOVE being a hockey mom...they are different than other sports team moms...I can't explain it, but I am so proud to be called a hockey mom!!

My Little Tiger Cub...

Easton's Cub Scout's Troop was invited to carry the American flag and the Cub Scout's Flag out for the singing of the National Anthem at the local high school's basketball game. Easton was SO proud and honored to be chosen to carry the Cub Scout Flag and he took his job VERY serious. I was so proud of my little big tiger cub.

Holy Snow Storm Batman...

Last week we got hit with one of the largest snow storms the state has seen in a long time. The totals ranged from 20-24 inches in a 24hr period. The kids didn't have school and LOVED every minute of their time outside, unfortunately London could not maneuver in the snow too well, since it was up to her waist by the time we made it out.
