Little escapees

The above picture is Drew....he learned VERY early on how to lean out of the bouncy seat and get to things that he wanted. Most of the time it was into the dishwasher. It seems like Evan is finally taking after him in the escaping. The next few pictures where taken right before I hopped into the shower this morning. Evan recently decided that he doesn't like sitting in this chair. I only ever put him in it when I am in the shower. I really do make sure that he has toys. But today he wanted the trash. EW....bathroom trash. I am so glad that the straps are tight....he could have flipped himself right out.






The Dora Slide




Last night Kris decided to get out the Dora Slide. It is a Dora version of a little Slip n' Slide. The kids love it. Then somehow Evan ended up in it. I don't recall how the conversation went, and let's just say he didn't like it, but as you can tell from the picture of him wet and in Kris' arms...he sure liked it when he was done.

Kindergarden graduation for Drew

I know that this is LONG overdue, but I really havne't felt much like blogging lately. I just like to read everyone elses stuff. BUT at last I know that some people have been asking for more pictures. I really thought that I had a better handle on the camera taking, but I didn't. I can't believe that I didn't take more pictures....even at home. I will try to do better, not promising just trying.

Wow Drew has graduated from Kindergarten. Can you believe it? I am so excited for him.
We had the Grandma, and Kris' parents here for the big day. We always let the kids pick out what food we eat for dinner or lunch when it is a special day for them. Drew wanted Peanut butter and Jelly Sandwich's....for everyone. He was even insisting that everyone had to eat ALL of the crust. He held his ground until the day before and then Kris managed to talk him to giving everyone a choice of Peanut butter and Jelly or meat. Boy was I ever grateful. Everything went great. He kept telling me that he was going to make me cry....AND I kept replying that I wasn't.....who was right? DREW was. I tried to hold it back, but I couldn't.
Here is when Drew got to "walk the bridge" to first grade, get his Kindergarten diploma and shake hands with the teacher. I think he forgot about the shaking hands part, he just kept trying to pull the paper out of her hand, it was like a little mini-tug of war.

Such an excited boy.



Just a little something Kris and him do.

This is Karina and Drew. We have mentioned her before. They are buds. Right after this picture was taken she turned to Drew and laid a big fat kiss right on his cheek.


Drew and Mrs. Anderson....I could not have dreamed of a better teacher for Drew!
