Ryan's off to preschool

Ryan is starting his second year of preschool through the school system this year.   Ryan and Connor were both SO excited.   Here they are, a few hours before school starting, wearing their backpacks and carrying their lunch boxes!   They were so cute.



Ryan is receiving specialized services this year and therefore is eligible to ride the van to school and little yellow school bus on the way home.    Ryan is so proud of himself.   Here Ryan and Connor are waiting outside for the van to arrive.

On the van with friends Ashely and Felix!

Off to 1st grade

Here we all are (pjs and all) waiting for Matthew to get on the school bus for his first day of 1st grade!

Matthew we are sure that this will be a great year!     You are such a smart, intelligant young man!   We love you!!!!!!!!

Sleepy Head

Sean is slowly starting to out grown his morning nap..   I guess the tiredness caught up with him while he was sitting in his highchair wating for dinner!  Boy little guy!

Scary faces

I'm slowly starting to discover the wonders of play doh.   I use to think that it was a "messy" toy and would get stuck on things and leave little crumbs.   On this rainy day the boys wanted to play with play doh and I reluctantly agreed.  Boy, I was pleasantly surprised.   They spend at least a hour and half laughing and playing.  Here is a picture of the scary faces that they made.  Best of all clean up was pretty easy!

Sean 11 months old

Sean Patrick continues to be a very happy and for the most part an easy going baby.    He is cruising on all the furniture, picking food out of the trash can (and then eating it), laughing at his brothers, and even sleeping thourgh the night!    He is babbling and so far this words are "mama", "dadda", and "up."    We love Sean Patrick and can't believe that you will be 1!!!!!

My little Snuggle Muffins!

Ryan and Conner sleeping!   

British Soccer Camp

We signed Matthew up for British Soccer camp this year so he could gain some experience before starting Park and Rec soccer this fall.    It was a week long camp for 3 hours in the morning.  Unfortunately, I think that this week turned out to be one of the hottest weeks of the whole summer.   Matthew was placed on the yellow team (It became a little hard finding him a different yellow shirt to wear each day of the week!)   The last day of camp, was the "World Cup" game and the children were asked to bring their team flag.   Matthew and I had a great time researching and then constructing the Brazil flag.  Matthew's team won the world cup (they didn't loose a game all week!)   GO BRAZIL!!!
