Big Country

Daddy Jim got his new toy today -the little boys love it just as much as the big boys...

Happy Memorial Day

today consisted of some yark work at the land, then a trip to grandma & grandpa's for a cookout & homemade ice cream. Andy played trucks (with the collectors item, grandpa covets) and the others played croquet.

Even Ted Arnot joined in the game, (with the help of gramps)

Rachel didn't think it was much fun, "I'm board"

sprinkler fun

well at least Tyler thought it was fun- Andrew tried it & didn't much care for it.

the ducks

The boys & I love to go feed the ducks. We went to the park today because the ducks should have had some babies.

Thomas the Train

We suprised the boys & went to see Thomas the Train at Cuyahoga Valley. Here they are looking at a train that is delivering. Of course Thomas is there, & Andrew is showing DAddyJim

Here comes Thomas

All Aboard!

We only brought a ticket for Andrew & Daddy to ride Thomas, because Tyler got to ride last time. Well Andrew wasn't feeling well, & he fell asleep while they were waiting to board. Andrew woke up shortly after but Tyler had taken his place in line. He wasn't too upset, in fact here he is watching while passengers board Thomas.

Happy 32 DaddyJim

Grandma & Grandpa joined us for dinner on DaddyJim's bday. We had chicken parmesean & coconut cream pie.

A Helping Hand

All Cleaned up

Tyler Jim cleans up pretty well... He was very excited to sport his new suit for a wedding we went to.

Dancin'

The boys are getting their "grove" on with Aunt Amy

congrats!

Tyler celebrated his preschool graduation this evening. The songs included in the program were
1. Popcorn poppin
2. My country
3. Daddy's homecoming
4. Itsy bitsy spider

We were very proud of Tyler as he was well behaved & participated in all of the songs. Good Job!!

The ceremony

Though I never would have guessed it. I was chosen for the Nurse Excellence award in the ER this year. I was presented with a cake, a pin, & a plant.

Tyler helps mom in the kitchen

Tyler's favorite part of helping mom in the kitchen, is clean up....

Park Play

The weather has been just beautiful. This evening we went to the Uniontown Park to play & then headed to New Balitmore for ice cream. MMMmmm.

Make a wish

I was teaching Tyler how to make a wish on a dandelion at the land today. When he got tired of blowing, he would run around kicking the feathers off....

Good night

First thing in the morning Andy heads right to the trains. Bedtime is always a bit difficult because we want to play trains when we get out of the tub.
