Happy Mother's Day!

My boys spoiled me on Mother's Day...yummy breakfast in bed, gifts/cards and pretty flowers. For lunch they treated me to the local Indian Buffet. It was a perfect day!

Mom's Day at Preschool

Mommy was invited to Landon's Preschool this morning for Mom's Day. The kids performed several songs including Skinnamarink, I'm a Little Teapot, Jesus Loves Me and Landon's favorite from his Music class, "Salty Dog." It was really cute! The Mom's were then invited back to the classroom where the children gave us a potted flower and a flower painting. The painting had typed below the things each child said about his Mom to the teacher. Mine read:

My Mom's favorite color is red and she likes to eat carrots. When I am at school my Mom stays home with Dad. My favorite thing to do with Mom is play together with my small cars and my Lightening McQueen car. My Mom likes to shop at Target and she is 6 years old. ;)

Daddy's Birthday

This past weekend we celebrated Daddy's birthday. The boys were so excited to give Daddy his gifts and make his birthday cake!

Showing off the four leaf clover they found in the yard with Daddy!

Gavin's new favorite thing to do...find and play with worms! Who needs the playground?!

Landon after finishing his soccer practice. He got to take Grandma & PopPop with him this week!

The boys had a fun weekend with Grandma & PopPop Russell :)

Soccer with Daddy!

On Saturday Landon had his first soccer class for 3 and 4 year olds. He was pretty excited for it but you never know how long that will last at this age. He had a good time and liked his Coach because he taught him funny tricks to do with the soccer ball. Landon made it the full hour with Dad's help keeping him engaged. (Apparently ony 4 or 5 of them lasted the whole hour) He keeps asking us this week when his next class is so hopefully he will continue to like it. If not, there is always the playground outside when he has had enough. That is where Gavin happily played during his practice!

Landon's Race

Ever since Landon ran his lttle race in October in Hershey he has been asking us when his next race is. So, Ryan found a little charity race near us that had a 1K kid's fun run. Landon was excited to do it, well until halfway through his run anyway. As you can tell by the pictures that he was not happy by the end. Thankfully once he got his medal at the finish line he cheered up. Unfortunately the little bug was exhausted from being sick earlier in the week and having a long day of traveling for the birthday party the day before that he just didn't have the energy or patience for it. He says he wants to do another one, but I think we will wait a while and try an even shorter one next time ;)

Madison's 9th Birthday

This past weekend we went to Lancaster for Maddie's 9th birthday party. The boys had a great day celebrating with their cousins Madison and Zachary and visiting with family. Uncle George rented a giant bounce house which entertained them all day. And of course, Grandma Cacka organized another birthday treasure hunt for all of the kiddos. It was a fun day!

They found a slimy worm and thought it was the coolest thing. Gotta love boys!

Gavin's First Haircut!

The time has come for Gavin to get his first real haircut! Landon was up first so that he could show Gavin how it is done.

I don't think Gavin realized that he was actually going to have to do it this time. Poor bug! Even with a lollipop and his G with him he was not happy!

He did calm down and was a real trooper to get to the end. We were proud of him ;)

Enjoying their lollipops and happy it is over! They sure are handsome! Gavin looks like a big boy now.
