Swim lessons 2016

Baby update - I am STILL pregnant.  38 + 3 today and saying I was READY to go would be a HUGE understatement.  Most importantly though the baby looks good and I am not throwing up.   

All three kiddos were in swim lessons this year.  I was a HOT two weeks sitting there watching, but they did pretty good.  Rylands first day was great followed by 4 rough days.  Once they asked him to do the back float all was lost.  By the end of the second week though all the life guards were having fun with him as he was acting himself!!!  He even wanted to go off the diving board (video below)  

Jaren during this two weeks is now 100% independent swimming!!!  Big mommy moment.  He passed level 3!

Landrie was much more willing to try things this year and put her face in the water without problem!!!

She passed level 2!

Boz's wedding shower

We threw Monica a wedding shower in Andale over Memorial Day weekend.  It went really well and everyone had a great time. 

FLOWER GIRL AND BRIDE!!!
Landrie is very excited

May 16 misc.

 May was of course a busy month, but a good month for us.  

Uncle Todd had gotten us tickets to go to the WSU vs. KSU baseball game and Jaren was going to bring some friends to the game - then it got rained out so the boys came to play and they found the dress up clothes!!!

Mark took a personal day during on of the kindergarten roundup days when Jaren was off of school and he took him golfing for his first time and Jaren LOVED it!!!

Mark got a new toy.  To maintain our driveway and do work around our acreage we got a tractor.  We will need a few attachments for it, but this was a BIG step a year in the making.  We thought we would get it last year, but we needed a year to save.  The kids think it is awesome

We finally made it to the KSU vs. WSU baseball game, but one friend was not able to make it.

The day after school was out we started potty training Ryland.  Hoping to just have one kid in a diaper at a time.  He did a good job and is 95% there.  Just afraid to poop on the pot right now.

Ryland is constantly saying HOLY BUCKETS when he gets excited about something.  

So darn cute!!!

Landrie Lynn Preschool graduation 16

While Landrie will be attending preschool for one more year before advancing to Kindergarten she still was able to attend this years graduation celebration.  

Field Day 2016

I got to see a bit of Jaren's field day this year!  He is so grown up and I am happy to be in the building with him so I can catch all these fun things.

Mother's Day

We went to visit both of my Mima's on Mother's Day and got some great pictures.

I believe this was the first year since Jaren was born I did not get a mommy and me picture with my kids :(
