Jeremy graduates (again!)

Jeremy had a fun month with preschool. This was his last month of it until it starts again in the fall. He was able to have a pirate day again (he had one last spring too). Then to top off the year, he went to a graduation party at the park and then graduation at Weber High school (this is where Ben went to high school so he loves to talk to Jeremy about it). Jeremy did really well in preschool this year. He was even named one of the junior valedictorians and received a special award. We are very proud of him!

Zoo time

On May 11, we went to the zoo. They were having a Mom and Me day. It was quite crowded but lots of fun. They had a lot of activities and we tried to do as many as we could. Jeremy got his face painted (Alex got his done after much pleading) and Jeremy did a craft while we waited in line for the face painting. Both of the boys painted on a big wall and Jeremy got chosen to participate in a magic type show in a pavilion where they were also serving ice cream. We had a little scare in there for a little bit when Ben lost track of Alex for a minute. The boys had fun looking at all the animals and it was a fun day had by all!

Busy weekend!

This weekend, especially Saturday, has been a busy but fun one for the kids. I started bright and early with a yard sale. My first on my own. Last year I stuck some stuff with our neighbor. Not much sold so the majority of the stuff went to Deseret Industries.
Alex has been suffereing from a croopy cough and Ben thought it would be a good idea to try Jeremy's breathing machine.
Alex was excited because he sees Jeremy do it every night.


Jeremy had a birthday party at his friend's. It was an Army theme and he had to wear camouflage. The kids also got their faces painted in camouflage. An Army recruiter came and gave them all a bag of US Army stuff. Jeremy wanted to put his stickers all over the house.
Then it was off to the Elders Quorum where both boys played and played and didn't have much interest in their food! Then we ended the night at Ben's cousin's house for a graduation/housewarming party.
Jeremy had a ball with his cousins Hunter and Chloe, who he stayed with a couple of weeks ago when Mom and Dad went out of town. Jeremy got a new bike from the neighbor and loved riding it with Hunter. I get all of the outside toys and bikes from neighbors and yard sales.
It's great! Slightly used but who cares!

Chloe and her girlfriends loved Alex too.

Alex got to dress up in his favorite character, Elmo.


Then the last picture is of Alex in a sweater that
our wonderful friend Nancy Bennett sent from England.
She loves to knit and sent us this one for Alex's birthday
