Katie and some friends took the boys to a Reds/Cubs game. They stayed for the entire game, which went past 11pm. The boys of course had a ton of fun.
Jordon didn't do so great staying up past bedtime. This is the next day and he's totally crashed. We couldn't help but crack up and this hilariously sad sight. Needless to say the pool of drool was huge!
Jordon watchin Big Brother Brandon play around on a slide.
And this is why we call him RePete!!
At Brandon's end-of-school program we were able to walk around his classroom and see all the neat things he's worked on throughout the year.
Here he is proudly sitting at his chair. He and his teachers put together these neat binders full of all sorts of stuff. There are lots of fun pictures of him playing and learning at school. My favorite page was a special thing they did for Mother's Day. The teacher asked him several fill-in-blank questions about me and then she wrote in exactly what he said. Some of my favorites include: "My Mommy is 70 years old." and "The reason I love my Mommy is because she goes to garage sales to buy me toys." So funny...because it's so true. (Not the 70 part, but I am turning the big 30 this year!!)
The only way I can seem to get a photo of all three boys together is to give Brandon and Jordon food. Go figure that while they are both chowing down, Gideon is giving such a cute smile.
Just a few shots of Gideon to show how big he is getting.
Nothing beats striped pants. This is one of those things that you can only get away with wearing while you are still young!!
Pete and I went to the Melting Pot restraunt with my parents to celebrate selling our old house. We had a great time that. The steam from the fondue made the picture a little blurry, but it's a great memory from a fun night of celebrating. (Thanks Elly & Betsy for the gift card at Christmas!! )

Picture perfect. Brandon fishing with Dad and Pop at Milligan College. They didn't catch anything this time, but nothing beats fishing in the rain.

Nini and the boys.
This is how we roll.
This friendly little fella came to visit us in the middle of the night.
The siding should go up as soon as it stops raining. The kitchen/dining room floor was put in today. The walls are painted and the cabinets should be installed soon. It's really coming along nicely.
Is that Brandon driving?
I hope I never forget how excited Brandon was to see this huge truck pull up to the house. It was classic! He could hardly contain himself as the big truck backed into the driveway beeping loudly
What a helper!
We have officially sold our old house. It certainly is a good feeling to have that done before we move into the new place. However, I must admit that it is a little bittersweet for me. We have been in this house for 4 years, almost exactly. It’s crazy to think about what all has happened and taken place in this home in that short amount of time. Pete and I will have a lot of memories from that house. It’s weird to think that the boys won’t really have any memories. Brandon has many memories right now, but I’m sure most of them will fade with time.
Not the best photo, but they are attempting to show off their treasures from the big hunt.
Mama wrote out clues for Brandon and he had to figure them out in order to find the next egg. Then Brandon hid some eggs for Jordon. (This was our way of letting Jordon have the fun of finding eggs without Brandon finding them all first.) This was very exciting for both of them!
This was Jordon's first year to look for eggs. We weren't sure if he'd get the hang of it.
