Little O...

Well I couldn't post something about Luke and AJ and leave little O out! At 19 months, Owen is crazy as ever. He is into everything...and I mean everything. Climbs on the kitchen table, eats gum out of the trash, stalks the pantry any chance a big brother has left it open, gets into the bread drawer and walks around with a loaf of bread or a sack of mini bagels, obsessed with the toilet and anyone who is on it, ready to go at a moments notice and will even go and get his shoes when he notices everyone is getting ready to leave, bites, hits, screams when he does not get his way. At the same time he loves his family, his dogs, and his bed. Everything normal for his age....and for that we are truly grateful!

Kindergarten Graduation

Today, Luke graduated from kindergarten. I thought I would be teary eyed, like the first day of school when his little body marched onto that giant school bus with such excitement, but I was not...just happy. We are so proud of this little man...who by the way chose to wear this shirt and tie...he's all about the dress up! He is so ready for first grade...more recess, hot lunches, and good friends. I heard him chatting with his buddies saying things like "right on dude" and "yeah man...so cool"...it is hard to believe that he will be 7 this fall.

Boring Pre-School comes to an end...

Ok, so for those of you that know AJ well, you are aware he had some "issues" this year at pre-school. Not so much acting out at school, but just decided that school was "boring" and did not want to go...part of the year was a struggle...as I would drop him off, Ms. Julie (his teacher) would have to pry him out of the car kicking and screaming and I would just wave and drive away thinking...good luck! He was always fine once I left and as these last days came to an end he did great. We ended the school year at Marshall Park. The highlight had to have been the fresh cedar chips that got delivered while everyone was playing!

How SWEET it is...

This past Friday we attended a dinner and auction supporting the Washington State University student-athlete scholarship fund. We had the privilege of hearing the latest updates from Coaches Tony Bennett, who led the Cougars to a historic Sweet 16 finish and from Paul Wulff, the new football coach. It was a fun night that included both silent and live auctions as well as dinner, and of course some COUGAR cocktails-because it would not be a Coug function without them!
