Summer Weather!!!! We are ready!!

The past week has been rough for us!! Brayden got strep throat for the first time, and shared it with daddy!!! Brayden got hit pretty hard, had a fever for three days and it took him 5 days to get some energy back!! Donny has been up and down all week but had fevers for 3 days too!!! Luckily Nolan and mommy pulled through without a fever!!! Nolan slept a lot more than normal but my tough guy made it so far!! I picked him up early Tuesday from school and he had slept for 3 hours and missed lunch so we went on our first lunch date!!
Nolan is slowly becoming a less handled little guy!!! Mommy doesn't have to carry him as much and he will interact with others!! I'm going to miss my mommy only boy someday though!!! We are enjoying watching him grow into his own little self! He has his first little crush at daycare on one of his teachers!! Her name is Miss Carlie and you should hear him say her name!!! It melts my heart and hers every time!!! Nolan is in love with Ducks rights now and gets so excited when he sees one!!
Brayden only has 4 more days of kindergarten left!! I don't believe it!! What a fast, fun, and full year of learning he has had!! He has lots of fun stuff planned this week including mommy picking him up two days, a field trip to the pool, field day, and a color run!!! We went to his YMCA summer camp info meeting this week and they have lots of fun planned for him this summer!! He has field trips to Chicago even!!! He played for a little while with the kids and said it was lots of fun!! Even better news he can take his own lunch do that helps!!! Hopefully all will go well!!! He will go with Grandma on Friday to play Bingo, so lots of excitement coming!!!
We have been spending as much time as possible outside with this beautiful weather!! It wears the boys out and they are so happy!!! I'm so excited to what we have coming this summer!!!

Ninja Birthday Party at Energym

6th Birthday party was a huge success!!! Brayden and 23 of his friends and family joined him for Nonja Class and open gym at Energym!! It's a perfect place for a birthday party, you would never know that 24 kids and 10 parents or so we're running around playing, it is so big and there is so much to do!! Even Nolan loved it!!! He played on the trampoline and the bounce house!! Brayden mastered the jump to the bar and was on cloud nine he could do it!! He had a hard time keeping up with all of his friends from different places but loved every minute of the party!! It was so busy that I struggled to take pictures, but am getting some from other moms and grandma!!! I love the happiness that these parties he helps to plan bring to him!!! It makes it all worth it!!!











Happy Birthday Brayden!!!

Well, another year has gone by, Brayden turned 6 and Nolan will be 18 months!! Time flies enjoy every moment is the only advice I can give to moms!!! I took the day off on Brayden's birthday and dropped him off at school, brought him Culvers, his choice, to school for lunch and stayed and ate with him, and daddy and I picked him up after school!!! At lunch I got there with chicken tenders and icecreAm and he loved having real food for lunch!! He ate his icecreAm first just as I expected!! To my surprise lunch lasted 14 minutes so I was not there long!! When the kids got dismissed to recess he said "nice seeing you, gotta go"!!! I left in shock of how lunch goes!! After we picked him up we went and got Nolan and headed to Rockford so he could bungee jump at the mall, followed by dinner at Golden Corral, and The Sour Challenge purchases for his birthday party!! We finally got home for presents and cake!! It was a great day!!! The day before his birthday we had pizza for dinner and went to Sycamore to hit golf balls, soccer, basketball, and little baseball!!! Our big guy was in heaven!!
