HAPPY BIRTHDAY CONNOR

Happy Birthday Connor!  4 years old!

We had Scales and Tails come for Connor's Birthday party this year.

Usually the Birthday boy is the special helper but Connor decided to let his friends join in on the action...he was a little intimidated after he watched Mr. Scales and Tails put a scorpion in his mouth!!! Crazy!!!

Here is Rhett holding a turtle.

Rex helping out.

Brooks tried sneaking into the gifts while everyone was preoccupied.

Redd holding an Australian lizard.

Mr. Kipling (from the disney channel's Jessie) decided to join the party!

He even gave Redd a kiss!!! I took the picture a few seconds too early.

Rylee was excited to join Rhett, Rex and Redd and be a helper...that's right Rylee, Rhett, Rex and Redd...love it!

Being brave

Macie being brave :)

and last but not least...

Justin being brave.

In case you are not aware, Justin is terrified of snakes!!!

WOWZERS!!!!

An albino python

Justin wasn't quite as brave as Redd...he did not kiss the snake!

Connor and his friends taking a turn!

Of course Brooks loved it!

And he climbed back into his box on his own!

Pretty crazy!  It has been a great four years with Connor and gone by way too fast!!  

We sure love him!

SPRING

This past weekend, our darling scout group (Justin and I are their leaders) had to pass off a gardening requirement.  They came to our weed filled backyard and worked and worked! They pulled out all our weeds and planted flowers.  We have some great little workers, and thanks to those hard workers, we have a beautiful backyard for summer!

(Of course their efforts were rewarded with lots and lots of ice cream too!)

Huey had a little fun over the weekend, jumping around the yard and stretching out!

Here he is hiding in a bush.

Here is Brooks hiding in the bush with him. Can you see his face in the left of this picture? He is wearing a blue shirt.

Justin always tells me our boys would be great at hunting, because with their beautiful dark skin they have an advantage of natural camouflage.

I never believed him until I uploaded this picture this morning.

After a lot of playing in the yard, Huey went back into his house.  

Berkley loves Huey and likes to go visit him at his cage.  I may be a little paranoid about this and had Justin put a lock on the cage, to ensure Huey and Berkley do not get out together and maybe play a little too rough...if you catch my drift...

Berkley is a fun dog and all puppy!  We may have had a little incident the other day at Farmington Pond involving Berkley getting off his leash and trying to catch a duck.  He had a great time swimming and I owe a huge thanks to the three darling teenage girls who came to my rescue and caught this stinker of a puppy! 

I came across this hutch on Pinterest and I am thinking we might need to renovate our bunny corner in the near future!

On Memorial Day Justin and I saw 42.  

A GREAT movie! 

I give it five stars and recommend everyone see it.

I hope someday my boys can watch this movie and have a greater appreciation for the world they live in today.

 It brakes my heart to be reminded of a what a cruel world many of their ancestors lived through.

Jackie Robinson is a hero, especially to me, being a mother to my two darling boys, who LOVE baseball!

 Connor and Brooks, I could not love you more!

PRESCHOOL GRADUATION

I know I have been a big slacker with our blog...first our camera broke so I went back to using our old one, then the old one broke, then our computer charger broke! My generous Dad hooked me up with a great new camera, so here is to lots of upcoming blog posts to make up for lost time!! 

Last night we had Connor's preschool graduation. 

Here are some pictures from his school year. 

Connor and London at Halloween.

Dr. Seuss week.

Teddybear picnic, Connor loved that he had the largest bear!

GRADUATION PROGRAM

Is it just me, or do these two look like they could pass as twins in this picture?

My dad took this picture and I LOVE IT!

When Connor grows up he wants to drive tractors.

I am so grateful for Connor's cute teacher that gave him such a great school experience. 

He made a lot of friends, or should I say girlfriends? He was the only boy in his class and seemed to love it! 

To kick off summer this is what he gave the girls in his class.

I hope you have a Krazy Kool Summer!!!

I got the printable @leightheo.blogspot.com...I love how generous people are, sharing their cute ideas and making it easy to put cute things together! 

Here is to a KRAZY SUMMER!!!!
