Mini Golf

We went to a local mini golf course a couple of weeks ago and had a very fun time.

Here Chris and Ian are showing me their balls. We had a laugh (and I'm guessing everyone around us as well) when I very loudly said turn and look at mommy and show me your balls. Chris had blue, Ian black!

This is how Borne golfs!

Cache

We got to meet Cache over Labor Day weekend (I know it's the end of June that I'm posting this but it's been a very busy month!). I was so excited because it was killing me that he was 10 weeks old and I had not seen him yet. It's also amazing how fast we forget how little they are. Meghan gave Cache to me and I almost put him on my hip like he could hold up his head and carry his body weight. Not so much! He is a cutie and I can't wait to see him again in a couple of weeks for his Baptism. I'm sure he's changed so much already!I had to get a picture of Borne and Cache by each other but Cache was not liking it - he was hungry!Once he was feed he was out! So cute!

So we got one of them like this!

More Fishing Pics

Fishing Contest

Over the weekend while Chris and I were in Colorado my mom, dad and Daniel took Ian and Borne to the Lincoln Industries pinic. They had a fishing contest and Ian did really good. He caught 10 fish measuring from 4 1/2" to 7". He won a $20 gift card to Wal-Mart. He can't wait to use his "debit card" to buy a toy!

Happy 1st Anniversary Marcus & Meghan

One year ago we were in Colorado celebrating the marriage of Marcus and Meghan. It was so much fun and are so happy that these two are together and are celebrating one year already! It has gone fast and a lot has happened in the last year for them and us. We are so happy for you guys and can't wait to see what the next year brings!!

Last Day of Preschool

Ian's last day of preschool was May 27th. I don't think he quite realized what it meant to not be going back. The night before him and I took a trip to HyVee for groceries and also got his teacher Mrs. Jensen a flower and balloon. Ian picked everything out himself. He also got her a card. It was a Happy Birthday card with a dinosaur on the front. Inside it said something like. Happy Birthday to a very special boy. Hope you have a wonderful day. I told him a few times that we were getting a card for Mrs. Jensen not him. I said we need to find something she will like. He keep telling me "she will like this one." So we went with it. I think Mrs. Jensen did like it after all since he picked it out especially for her.
Ian loved preschool and we'll miss Dimensions and Mrs. Jensen but hopefully in a couple more years Borne can go there!

Swim Lessons

Ian took another round of swim lessons and really enjoyed it. We kind of think he could have been up one class but he had fun so that's all that matters and he'll move on next time! Here's his report card at the end of the session.

Reading

One morning when I was at work early Chris got a couple great pictures of Ian reading to Borne. This is quite a feat since Borne does not sit still very good for anything. I hope these two love each other this much for ever!

Dinosaur Shirt

Amanda, our daycare provider, is absolutely awesome and the day of Ian's birthday party she let all of the older kids make dinosaur shirts.

Here Ian is sporting his shirt. He is a pretty creative guy and his turned out pretty good. Amanda said that it was his idea to put the stencil down and paint around it and add the glitter. Good Job Ian!! I do love this picture becuase he looks so grown up and proud of his work. Makes me smile! :)

Here's a group shot! Ian, Ainsley, Hunter, Amanda, Kalleigh and Taylor.
