Traveling

We traveled a lot these couple of months, this is Chad after the air conditioning got to be to much for him.

Playing at the mall in Salt Lake.

Lots of fun.

Chad's Snake

Chad came running inside and told me there was a snake by the swing set and he wanted it. We had just given him a talk about not picking up snakes or bugs without asking us if they were friendly. So I ran outside and did not know if this was a friendly snake. So I caught it in a bucket. Then after researching the snake came out of it's bucket. This is a Gopher, Bull or Blow snake all names for the same thing you can tell it's not a rattle snake especially by his eyes(just in case you want to stare one down). It stayed with us for 2 days, the snakes family missed him to much!

Chad named him Flicker, cuz "mom he flicks his tongue to smell you".

More pictures of Mr. Chad first bike ride without training wheels.

Look at that concentration.

Stuff

Chad's kindergarten class had marble works which the boys loved! When I told them I had some, it was a constant hounding after that, so when I finally found them, this is what they did.

I did have to adjust some stuff and add a piece here and there but they are really GOOD builders.

Kylie after eating something colorful, and sticky...lol.

Fun at the Fire Station

We went to the fire Station because they had an open house. There were tons of kids and to keep track of my three all by myself was kinda hard but we all had fun.

Brian did not want to dress up but thought Chad was pretty cool. Then they ran through a mock house on fire they had a smoke machine to fill up the house "trailer" and made all the kids crawl out under the smoke. Chad told me all about it.

They got their balloons and got to see Sparky.

Everyone in their hats.

Exploring the fire truck.

Then when dad got home he had to be styling with the hat. I have some handsome boys!

To Hold You Over

So not much happened in June, I had my birthday, here's the crew.

Kylie standing, walking around begging for cake.

Brian learned how to pump the swing by himself and now can start by himself too.

Chad learned to ride his bike without training wheels. All on my birthday, so I had WONDERFUL birthday presents!

This is a picture of the kids playing. So cute.

Chad's Graduation

At the beginning of the program Chad came out with his teacher to introduce himself to us, because when the one and only audio guy in the school district was in his class room Chad was taking his required hearing test. So he had to do it live instead of on a video...lol. He did so goo and said he wanted to be a policeman when he grew up.

Walking down the isle to the stage.

Them singing.

His, I guess you would call diploma.

Showing us his "Me Book", which was really cool. It had a lot of art and fun painting and counting activities in it. He let Kylie turn the pages.

Us with the graduate.

His teacher Mrs. Swan, she was awesome.

Grandma Murray.

Last but not least Grandpa Rawson.

It was pretty fun and Chad made sure we all knew that after he had cupcakes in his classroom. He told us as he came down the isle...lol. I can't believe he's growing up so fast.

The Kids

If you have seen Tron recently, this is the boys reenacting it with the glow sticks they got. They have such great imaginations.

Dad was mowing the lawn, so of course the boys had to also!

Let's go fly a kite! Well we all took turns flying our one kite, but out of all of us Kylie liked it the best, I think.

She watched it very intently, she was so cute.

We did decide however this kite is very good for a no to low wind area. It just ripped apart after a little while with the STRONG wind we get...lol.
