I can't believe it! Today we send another child off to the First Grade!!! I am glad I am not saying the Real World! We are so proud of Ben and all that he has learned this year. He is quite the Little Man!

Updates!

No pictures on this one just the top ten things that have been going on:
1. I joined (w/the coaching of my friend Sherry) the Hays County Triathlon Club. Yes I did! We have clinics to help the beginners and the advanced on training to run, swim, and bike. I am really enjoying the running and biking but not so much the swimming. I need to try harder on the swimming part.

2. Jake Jr. ate 2 worms at school yesterday in front of kids in his class on the playground. He had really changed since the beginning of the school year. He is becoming a silly child. He said they didn't taste like anything and he even (now this is gross) pulled one a part and ate it in sections.

3. Ben has Kinder Graduation next Thursday so I am trying to prepare for that. So sad and it went so fast.

4. Emma isn't really doing anything new other than just growing up and talking like a big girl. She still makes me laugh.

5. I am doing well in my Jewelry business and get to travel to the National Rally in July in Dallas. I am excited for the mini vacation and my sponsor (Trish) will be with me.

6. Kristy and the girls are coming to visit on June 13th and then we make are big drive back to Ohio on the 20th for a visit and stay til the 7th of July. The kids are very excited.

7. Jake Sr. has been very busy with work but at least we see him every day. I told him to train me so I can help him get organized since his office is in our bedroom!

8. It is hot here and it isn't even summer. We have been in the 90's and it isn't even summer. I don't remember it getting this hot in Ohio in the summer. So I am looking forward to a cool down.

9. Last day of school is the 30th.

10. I can't think of anything else! Did not make it to my top 10, Oh Well!

Ben's Party

I know, I know this is so late. I just have not had the time to sit down and upload the photos. Ben had a great time at his party. At first he did not want to participate, but found himself having a blast. We had invited all of the kids from his class and a few of the neighbors and they all had a great time. Ben did not want us to sing to him or have a picture with his cake. He did not even open presents until everyone left. He got a lot of Speed Racer things and Jake Sr. took the boys to see the movie. We had rented a Moonwalk and recieved also a huge slip in slide that was inflatable. I think that is what the kids played on most of the time and we even had it the next day to play on since it was in the 90's both days it helped keep them cool!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEN!

Today May 8th we brought a beautiful baby boy Benjamin David into this world. He is so fun and I just want to eat him up everyday! How can you not with that smile of his. It is so hard to believe that he is six already and going into the 1st grade. Ben is having a birthday party on Friday with all his friends and we will share his pictures sometime this weekend. I do not have a lot of pictures on the computer of baby Ben (no digital camera then) so I scanned a few for you to enjoy!
