Dallas Zoo

We had a fun trip to the Dallas Zoo last week. We wanted to go and beat the summer crowds. It was a nice day, not too hot or crowded. The boys loved the Giants of the Savanna habitat.
 
Jack is really into animals right now, so he was in heaven!

Jack thought the kangaroos were neat!

Best buddies.

They loved the gorilla!

It was a wonderful zoo day, can't wait to go back!

 

 

Last Day of School

Last week the boys had their last day of school. I was so sad about the last day, because Will and Jack have LOVED their teachers this year and so have I. These boys were blessed with amazing teachers who went above and beyond for them.  Luckily we will be able to keep in touch with them over the summer and next year. Will's class is having a little play date in August before Kindergarten starts.

Here is Will's first day and last day picture....

And Jack's first day and last day picture!

The boys had Carnival day on the last day.  Jack's class got to even have a little bit of a splash day outside! Will's class had splash day earlier in the week.

Will got his face painted for Carnival day!

Class buddies!! These boys are so sweet.

Class picture! Each class wears special t-shirts for the last day.  Will's teacher had these shirts made to show support for another mom in the class who was diagnosed with breast cancer.

I had these treats ready for the boys when they got home!

Jack's teachers made us two amazing books!! And they put together the cutest slide show from the year.  It was precious and SO sweet of them!!

Will got a special graduation t-shirt :)

His teacher also made a really sweet scrapbook for him!! I love it.

And here are some of his certificates!

 

I am so glad the boys love their school so much.  We were blessed with wonderful teachers and I can't wait till next year!

Pre-K Graduation

Will had his Pre-K Graduation on Friday. He was very excited about wearing his new tie! Here he is all dressed and ready to go!

The graduation ceremony was very nice.  The kids sang songs for us, and there was a really sweet video/slide show from their entire year.  Then each kid got to walk across the stage and get his/her diploma.

They all looked so cute in their graduation caps.

Singing "I'm in the Lord's Army", their favorite chapel song.

 

Will getting his diploma from his teacher :)

After the ceremony, there was a little reception with cookies and punch.  We took a few pictures with friends and then headed back to class!

Not the best pic, but here is Will with his buddy Ethan. 
They will be in Kinder together next year!

We got Will a graduation card and a few little toys/coloring books to celebrate his big day! Then after school we played outside in the water and later made "Graduation Cakes" per Will's request. 

 

Congratulations, Will! We are so proud of you!!

Mother's Day 2013

Mother's Day was a wonderful day! We went to church, went out to lunch, then came home and played outside for a little bit before Jack's nap.

Sweet boys at church......

Best pic I could get! I love being a mom to these precious boys.

Lunch date!

Playing outside

 

My favorite gifts were the sweet things the boys made for me at school. Will made me an awesome handprint plate and a wonderful picture of me with some flowers.  Jack made me a thumbprint heart magnet.  I love the treasures they bring home from school.

Will also made this for me......so funny!

 

On Sunday, Mike hung a new light fixture in our kitchen and we put our new patio furniture together.  It was a perfect day!!
