We made it through!

The boys were very happy to be going to school together. When we got to school we could not find Jason's name on anything in the room we thought he was in. It all worked out quickly and when I left the boys were playing! From what I was told, Jason had big tears quite a few times, not because he missed me, lol, but because Ryan couldn't stay in his class with him. I am the one that asked for school to be that way. They need to be without eachother every now and then. It will be good for them.
And the best part, both boys were in the same clothing I left them in! I thought for sure I would have a load of laudry to do. I am so proud of Jason, the long summer of fights about using the potty seem worth it now!
I didn't get to upload the pictures today or I should say I didn't make time to upload them. Instead, I finished the book The Help. WIth school starting tomorrow, I had a feeling if I didn't finish today, it would be a long time before I did!

First Day of School for the Boys

Well, tomorrow is the day! Pre-school for both of them. They will be in different classes but will still get to see each other plenty. I just can't believe it's time already. Summer went so fast. I spent many hours working on Potty Training Jason. My dear son likes to work me hard, really hard. Overall he is doing great and will be fine for school. I just can't wait for the day that I do not need to help anyone in the bathroom. AAAAhhhhhhhh, that will be GREAT!
Both boys are really excited for school. I think Ryan is going to make some big gains this year when it comes to numbers and letters. I am hoping that Jason will see that life is much better with no whining, LOL, a mom can hope.
My first day is Wednesday. I have a larger size caseload this year. I am hoping for a great year.
Hopefully I will have time to get on here and post some of our pictures from the morning.

Picture Update!

Here is the fun we had while at my mom's. I didn't get any pictures with my friend Amy and her family but she took a few!

As you can tell, my children have no fun and are very bored when they go to visit their Mimi and Pop-pop, HA!

A Busy Time

It was brought to my attention that my summer was just about over and I wanted to scream. Instead, we are making the most of it. My mom and Tom had the boys Saturday into Sunday. Andy and I went to a friends Surprise Party on Lake Meade! It was such a great time and a great way to celebrate 6 years of marriage. Time goes so fast.
I went down to stay at my moms for a few days and got in a lot of visits. I saw a friend whom I have not seen in probably 15 years. It was a blast and my boys were so sad to leave her fun filled out! They keep asking when we are going back. That evening we headed over to Pop-pop Bill and Mom-mom's house. The boys had a blast playing and laughing and acting like Hams infront of my friend Sarah. On Tuesday we had two play dates, one with Stacey and the girls and then one with my Cousin Jenn and her two little ones.
My boys were worn out but enjoyed every moment of it. We came back yesterday and they keep saying "who we going to play with next"? Luckily for them we met a friend at the park this AM and they had another great time. I have to get pictures off of my phone to get up on here! I am hoping to do that today or tonight!

Wow, I stink at this...Summer Update!

I have not been good with blogging, in fact, I am terrible with it. I thought I would try again, although with school starting in the next two weeks I am not sure this was the best time to start.
I will play a little catch up for just this summer.
We headed to OCMD for a week in June and the boys had a blast. It does get easier as they get older. We were even able to skip naps a few days and stay on the beach all day long.

The baby pool on the beach is a life saver. It keeps the boys happy and they can wash the sand off their hands any time they want.


After the beach came 2 weeks of swim lessons for both boys. Jason was potty trained enough to take the lessons, which was a big worry for me. Both boys did a great job. Ryan even earned his Baby Eagles Patch and then took the plunge off the diving board. I was so proud of him.

We spent some time hanging out with friends and family and then we left for North Carolina! What a great vacation we had. The boys get so much attention from everyone. They are the youngest by 13 years and they gobble up the attention!

While in North Carolina the boys got to go fishing with friends. They had a blast. They didn't get mad when they didn't get to hold the pole or anything but when the fish came in they would jump up and down and scream! Too cute!


Since we have been home from the beach the boys have had play dates, spent time at home and just enjoyed not being on a schedule. All of that will end too soon! Starting the 16th we are back to a full time schedule. I am not looking forward to it but the boys are since they both will be going to pre-school. Ryan will be going 3 days a week and Jason will be going 2 days a week. They will not be in the same class, which is a very good thing. They need to learn to be away from each other!



Hope to be back soon with more!
