Preschool Promotion

Last night was Zeke's promotion from the 3-4s class to the Pre-K class. His class sang two songs and Zeke was the biggest ham! He had the biggest smile on his face and just loved being on stage. His teacher, Ms. Robyn read a really nice poem then the kids got their certificates. Zeke will really miss Ms. Robyn, but he is super excited to be in Ms. TT's class next year.

Race Weekend

Happy Birthday Carter!

What a busy weekend we had! We headed to Speedway around 4:30 on Friday and met up with all our friends and fam who had been at carb day all day. On Saturday the kids all had a blast at Carter's 3rd birthday party. Then we headed to Georgetown Rd. for some kid-friendly shopping. Ashley and I spent most of the evening cooking and getting everything ready for the post-race cookout. We hung out at home with the kids while the rest of the gang went for the Georgetown Rd. walk.

On Sunday, we got up and enjoyed Uncle Dale's famous sausage gravy and biscuits then headed to the track. The kids were AWESOME! Harper slept through half of the race, but the boys loved every minute of it. Last year, Zeke cried through the whole race because it was so loud, but this year he hardly wore the ear plugs at all!

Super busy weekend

We had a really fun, extremely super busy few days this weekend! On Friday night, we went to see the G-CHS production of Beauty and The Beast - it was AWESOME! Even though it was 3 hours long, Zeke and Harper sat the whole time and listened and asked a bazillion questions. It was so fun to see their eyes light up during the show. They really enjoyed it. During the intermission, some of the girls in the show were so excited to let Harper have her picture taken with them. Harper was equally as excited.

After the show, the kids wanted to have their picture taken with the prince/beast (who is one of Josh's football players). We were a bit disappointed that he didn't put his Beast costume back on because it was awesome. They rented their costumes from Disney and they were the same ones that were used in the Broadway production.

Here they are with Robert/Prince/Beast.

On Saturday, Zeke had a baseball game at 11:30. He got a really good hit but was tagged out on his way to third base. Then he made a really good play when he was the third baseman. He has improved so much in just the few weeks that he has been playing and we are so proud of him. At 2:00, Harper and I went to a baby shower and she was just the best girl! I love to show her off and she had a blast playing all of the shower games and eating snacks and cupcakes!
After the shower we headed to Lafayette for Great Grandpa Frenchie's 81st birthday. All of the kids (and Uncle Gabe) had fun playing kickball in the backyard and just enjoyed being outside.

Mother's day was just as busy! Gabe cooked the most awesome French Toast for all of us on Sunday morning and we just hung out and played for most of the morning. We left Lafayette and headed back to Indy to have Mother's Day lunch with Memere and Meemaw. The kids had fun playing with more cousins and didn't want to go home. We finished our day off by having pizza with friends and relaxing!

Today, Zeke's preschool had their annual day at Riley park. Zeke's class had their spring pictures taken and the kids played for hours. We packed a picnic and ate lunch there. It was so much fun and the kids really enjoyed getting out of the house! We came home and all took turns watering the flowers and now we can finally relax!

Banana Split!

We had such a fun weekend! My dad (aka Pow) came out to Greenfield on Saturday to watch Landon and Zeke play baseball. Between games we went to Culver's where Zeke and Harper enjoyed their first ever banana split. We had a really fun day with Pow and the kids were super excited to spend the night with him and Monna.

After waking up at Monna and Pow's house and making homemade donuts, the kids did another one of their favorite things to do at their house...take a bath!

Then it was time to play outside.

Mom, Harper and I went to the Farmer's Market and bought some flowers. Harper was so excited to hold the basket.
