Cool Dudes

Ethan is really into basketball right now. I mean, he is playing all the time! I love that we have a hoop in the backyard so he can practice. He and daddy scrimmage and work on his shooting...and I have to say, he is good! Today was a bit sunny, like most days, and he couldn't see, so he grabbed some shades. Of course, Isaiah needed some too. And what do you know? Isaiah's are pink (his favorite color)! God blessed me with some handsome boys!

Isaiah's Program/Last Day of Mrs. Colleen's Class

So today was Isaiah's first preschool program...with Mrs. Colleen's class. Such a cute program! Started with the pledge, then they all sang a song together. Then each class had their own song they had prepared. Isaiah loved it!

 Look how excited he is to see us!!

 We are missing 2 here..a little stage fright for Holden and Liam. Maybe Adam and Lachlan scared them off with their bellies! HA!

 Isaiah's last day of preschool..for this year at least. He had an ice cream party!! His favorite!

Isaiah with Mrs. Colleen...we LOVE our Colleen! 

Mother's Day

This Mother's day was very sweet. My boys each did an "All About My Mom" questionnaire and each one brought me to tears. Not because I was surprised at my boys for being so sweet, but I guess because, to them, I am perfect...despite all my not-so-perfect moments. And that made me tear up because I am pretty hard on myself as a mother. I want to be the mother God created me to be, the mother who, everyday, shows the love of God through my actions and words. Many days I don't measure up, even a little bit. But I know that they love me anyway, affirming it through their writings of me. They also (along with Josh) gave me some beautiful flowers!

Josh's gift to me is my weekend away with the girls! And I can't wait for that!

First Sleepover

Ethan had his first ever sleepover (without Josh) tonight at Reef's house, after the Angry Birds birthday party. I was SHOCKED to hear that they were up til 10:15! Shocked, not because he stayed up that late, but because the Gibbins are always in bed between 7 & 7:30! I'm glad they had a fun time!

Riding the Bus

Today was the first day Ethan rode the bus home from school! I finally gave in, with 3 weeks left of school. I am already lovin' not having to wake both Jacob and Isaiah up from their naps to pick him up from school...and when I saw his face coming off the bus...I knew it was a good decision for all. He literally came RUNNING off the bus, he was so overjoyed!

Sorry you can't actually see his face...but there is a huge smile on it!
