Field Day Fun

At our recent homeschool field day Kaden just happened to end up in line behind his brother during this game of Jughead. The object was to pour the water from the cup into the jug without spilling. Ha!

This game was called Clamming for Marbles and each team of three competed to see who could pick up the most marbles...with their toes! 

It was a fun day all around. 

Leah's 1st Birthday

Baby Leah turns 1!

Proud parents Ryan and Alice and Baby Leah

I got my cuddle time in!

The boys had their own ideas about what a birthday party should be like. Ian, Kolin and Kaden wrestled, ran, stomped, yelled and generally acted like heathens. If a terrible storm had not been going on outside they would have been banished to the backyard.

Thankfully nothing was broken, spilled, or destroyed (that we know of).

Graduation Gift

This is Keith from next door, and the boys enjoying Kaden's graduation gift. He almost got it completely unwrapped before I got a picture, but you can still read it.

They had a good time and I even greased them up with soap to go faster. It came with a little sled but most of the time they slid without it. All three of them said their stomachs hurt the next day.

And finally, what every hot afternoon needs, POPSICLES!

Soccer Celebration

Soccer is over and trophies have been received.

This season the boys played on the same team.

Even though Kaden was playing above his age group he did very well and competed fiercely.

Kolin really improved throughout the season and came on strong during the last game to score three goals!

The are already talking about next season.

Graduation

We recently attended Kaden's Preschool Graduation. It went off without a hitch. The class came in, did the Pledge of Allegiance and sang some songs.

Then they left the sanctuary while the audience watched a slide show of baby and family pictures. Then they marched in down the aisle in their caps and gowns and received their diplomas.

Afterwards there was a photo session in the lobby followed by a cookie reception. 

He is very excited about being a Kindergartner now. He keeps asking when we can start school. And in case you are wondering...we plan to start in July.

Bike Ride

A few days ago we loaded up the truck, a picnic lunch, water bottles and headed out for a bike ride. Kaden had been asking to go on a ride for several days, so the night before I wrote them a note to find the next morning.

They were both very excited. We rode for about 2 1/2 miles around the battlefield, stopping for lunch at a picnic table near the ranger station.

We also noticed the beautiful red clover growing in mass along the trail. It was like a waving sea of red.

Easter Egg Hunt #2

On Easter Sunday we went to Hendersonville. We ate dinner, visited with family and had an Easter egg hunt. It was a beautiful day, perfect weather for a back yard hunt.

Kaden scoffed at the "pretty" Easter basket I gave him for the hunt. So he opted for a lovely plastic bag.

Soccer

The boys are on the same soccer team this season, which is so nice! One game, one practice! They are enjoying their season.

Easter Egg Hunt #1

Couple of pics from the 7th or 8th Annual Myers Easter Egg Hunt.

Recital

Recently Kolin performed in his first piano recital. In the audience were his parents, brother Kaden, grandparents Ken and Tina Kaul, and great-aunt and uncle Bob and Dani Kaul. He performed five songs by memory and did a great job. His next performance will be Friday April 27th at New Vision Baptist Church at the homeschool Presentation Night.
