Sweet Maylea loves to paint...She was having so much fun painting everything but the paper that I just couldn't stop her. I just love how our little girl seems to not have a care in the world. She has no fear of getting dirty and she "goes all in" with everything she does...fits included! I cherish these times as she grows up so fast. We are so blessed to have our precious little girl in our lives!
Here are the pictures from Maylea's class tea. The kids made the hats for all the moms. We had a great time!
Maylea & Mommy
Kamryn & Her mommy, Katherine
Kansas & her mommy, Tasha (Tasha told me that Kansas has two baby dolls and she named them baby Kamryn and baby Maylea...so cute)
Maylea & her friend, Cade Martin
This is one of Maylea's teachers, Ms. Vida. Maylea already misses her and asks for her all the time!
Warning, some of you moms might be totally grossed out by this so I'm warning you now. Before you watch this video please know I was not home and Josh did wash hands after all was done! :) Maylea is a little too close for comfort for me...watch and you'll see!
A couple weeks ago, when Caleb was quarantined for having the croup, Josh decided to take him outside to play for a while while Maylea was taking her nap. I was inside doing laundry when I heard Josh and Caleb yelling, "Mooommmmy, come look!" Usually when both of them are yelling out at me it is because they are doing something amusing, so I grabbed my camera and went outside. That is when I found Daddy Tarzan and his son up in the tree. Caleb was enjoying so much that it took a while to convince him to finally come down. I love watching my sweet baby is growing into a curious, adventurous, little boy that he is becoming. I don't look forward to the day I hear, "moooommmmmy!" and see Caleb in the top of a taller, more flimsy tree by himself. I guess I have to accept the fact that those days will be here sooner than I know it.
Our friend, Jesse, is starting his own photography biz and asked us if he could take pictures of our family for his portfolio. So with the help of jelly belly bribes from me, Jesse was able to get some pretty cute ones of the kids. Enjoy! www.jesseryanphotography.com
My friend, Heather, has started writing something called Flashback Fridays. She blogs about something funny or memorable that has happened in the past. With four boys in the house she's got many of these to pull from! Yesterdays was really funny and if you have a boy you've taken through potty training you can appreciate the story. It might be a preview to what is coming soon to your home! Here is Heather's blog so go see!

Today was Caleb's Mothers Day Tea. Caleb was so excited he could hardly contain himself all morning. He had made me paper plate flowers in a vase and a place mat with his hand prints on it. During the tea the kids showed us all the things they do during a normal morning routine, quoted all 12 bible verses of the month, and then performed Psalm 193. I am so thankful for godly teachers at CLC. God has so blessed us! Thank you to Ms. Buffy, Ms. Julie, and Ms. Diana for all they've done this year to partner with Josh and I in training up Caleb in the fear of the Lord.
Here is our attempt to get Ryan and Caleb's picture together. Somehow it often turns into a wrestling match when one is told to hug the other.
