What's missing?

He was four months old when it came in. He was six years old when it came out.
Aidan lost his first tooth!

He didn't want to put it under his pillow. He doesn't want the tooth fairy to come and take it away. He's starting a collection of baby teeth. He's sentimental just like his mom.

Caitlyn's Birthday Party

Caitlyn is two! We met friends at the Children's Museum in the Quad Cities for her birthday. Our good friends live about equal distance, on the Illinois side, so the Quad Cities is a great place for us to meet up. What a great museum it was...they had this awesome outdoor water area that the kids just loved.







No birthday party is complete without a cake, so it made the trip with us.







Mmm..yummy!

Kindergarten Graduation

My little Aidan has graduated from Kindergarten. Heritage Christian School put on a wonderful graduation ceremony and reception for the kids. It started with a slideshow presentation of all the kindergarteners, complete with "then and now" pictures.



They recited a couple very long Bible verses that they had worked on memorizing during the school year. They also sang us a few songs.


Aidan was one of four kids that got to introduce a part of the ceremony. He introduced the Attributes of God. They learned an attribute of God, for each of the letters of the alphabet.



He is accepting his "diploma" from the principal, Mr. Annis.


Hugs for Mrs. Vahle.

And a new chapter begins next year. First Grade will be the first time he goes to school 5 days a week. And his little brother will be joining him for 3 of the days!

Aidan can tie his shoes!

It's a start!

Alex is Four

This was a big birthday for Alex this year. Not only was it his golden birthday, but it also fell on Easter. The next time it falls on Easter, he will be 15 years old.

We spent the afternoon at a local park with friends, eating awesome food and hunting for Easter eggs.


His party was two days later. It was supposed to be at the Par-tee Zone, but they changed their hours and when we arrived, the doors were locked. So we made a quick decision to go to the Children's Museum, followed by lunch and cake at the mall.




I took Alex out for his 4-year pictures, and he was not very cooperative. Hopefully you can't tell from the photos. I never would have thought his 4 year pics would have been more difficult than his 3-year pics.









This last one is one of my favorites. You are so stubborn, yet so adorable at the same time. You will always be my baby, Alex! Happy 4th!
