wordless Wednesday

First bus ride!  (lost picture on sd card and it just reappeared)

4 days

until Birthday day!

My wonderful, bright, intelligent, sweet, kind, gentle son is going to be turning 4!

God is Good!

Trust me when I say:  "I would not change 1 thing about Jonathon"  He is perfect.......

We are getting ready for a P A R T Y !

Birthday Week!

6 days until Jonathon turns 4!  I can't believe this.  He is such a big boy now.

Today we took him to Toys R Us to get his birthday balloon and crown.  We also browsed through many aisles in the dark(store had no power) to see all the great toys!  He picked out many things for his brothers to get him.

Mom got some ideas too.

Now we are back home.  Taking a break from outside today.  Taking a break from swimming.  It's been muggy and rainy off and on so we decided to play inside and watch movies.

Guess we will make a simple dinner too and just relax!!

A great day!

Oh and we went and got new swim plugs made this afternoon.  The ones we had made last week were not correct and they were getting wet.  Tomorrow we will be ready to swim once more.

Enjoying our summer

is why I have not been current on my blog.  I have been spending every minute outside with Jonathon.  We only come inside to fix something to eat....clean up....and occasional movie and of course shower and bed.


He is really enjoying the outdoors this year!  And our summer vacation is flying by.


A few weeks back I had mentioned that we had a surprise for Jonathon.


Here it is!

He is loving his pool!  And we are loving the fact that we were able to do this for all 3 boys!

Day out with one big brother

Gilbert was unable to attend, but Jonathon and I went to Kenny's graduation at school last week.


We were invited to attend breakfast along with a short ceremony and diplomas were handed out.


I can't believe that Kenny is now officially a Freshman.  All three of my boys are growing up fast.  I kind of lose track of time with the older two.  I really focus alot of my time on Jonathon...making sure he is learning all he can learn.....making sure he stays healthy....making sure he is content and happy...making sure he remains safe....and then I sit back and watch.....


I watch my 2 older boys.....I see how they are growing up to be wonderful young men.  I am so proud of all my boys.


I love you Kenny!  you had a great year finishing up junior high....your grades were awesome!  your art projects blew me away.....you are very talented....Never give up Kenny and always keep dreaming.


Congratulations!   You are a Freshman!  Good luck son.


Thanks for being a great big brother to Jonathon!

morning of graduation

smile Kenny!

brotherly love

Kenny, me and Jonathon(trying to escape)

Grandpa and grandsons

Happy Fathers Day

The boys surprised their father and got him a new cell phone for Fathers Day!  He has been waiting many many years to get a brand new phone again and especially an android.  We got him the Sprint HTC Evo.


And he was very happy!

Say what?  A NEW PHONE!?

WOW!  It is.....
