Fire Station Field Trip!

Yesterday Ben's class went to the Fire Station! All the kids were VERY excited and had a great time!
The dad of another student at Ben's school gave the tour and he did an awesome job! Then at the end of the tour the firemen grilled hot dogs for the kids :)

First Swim Of The Season

It was in the 90's here Saturday so we went and hung out by the apartment pool for a little while. Ben got in the freezing water and then eventually talked his Daddy into getting in :)
Ben loves swimming and we'll probably be spending a lot of time at the pools this summer!

Daddy & Ben Hobby

Matt and Ben have picked up a new hobby.... GOLFING! Ben absolutely loves it! They went and hit a bucket of balls a couple weekends ago so Ben wanted to play the course next time :) I went with the boys last Saturday and they played 9 holes (Ben would have kept going but I was hot and hungry!)... Then Ben talked his Daddy into going Sunday too! They are going to take lessons together so they can really learn the game. I love that Matt spends so much time with Ben and that he enjoys it :) Ben and I are very lucky!!!!!

Mother's Day Tea!

Ben brought home a sweet little invitation from school this week :)


Mrs. Hayes had each child greet their Mom at the door and invite them in... it was really cute! Ben walked me to my seat and then brought me pink lemonade and a cookie :)

The kids got in front of the class and sang a song and said a poem to all us Moms! They did great!!!


Then Ben gave me a special little present that he had made!


Me and my sweet boy! Love him so much!!!!

We Appreciate You!!!

Teacher appreciation was Wednesday! We are very lucky to send Ben to a school with such wonderful teachers!!!
Ben's teacher, Mrs. Hayes is great!!! He also has sweet Mrs. Jones in his class (she's their aide). Ben loves school so much so we had to do a little something special for Mrs. Hayes & Mrs. Jones!!!


Ben made them each a card!


I made them YUMMY chocolate covered strawberries!


I hope Ben's teachers know how much we APPRECIATE them both!!!!
