A^4 is Ready for Spring/Summer!

We had a great week and that is partly due to the fact that the snow is gone and the weather was perfect Wednesday through the weekend!  A few "firsts" for 2016: the swings are back at the "little park" so we made sure to "test" them out, T-ball practice for Ayson and Addie, the first S'mores of the season, AND Daddy mowed the lawn!

Ayson received his 3rd quarter report card on Friday and is doing fantastic!  He does need help working on his listening skills in gym class and we will continue to work on that with him.

Tree climbing on Tuesday!


HI, Mumma!


Let's bounce!  It was still a little chilly on Tuesday...as you can tell by the hoods.


Catching air!


Ayson getting himself a "before bedtime snack" (banana and peanut butter on a spoon...Mommy introduced him to the snack)






On Thursday, Ayson found a BIG log in the woods next to the "little park."  Mommy told Ayson that if he rolled the log down the hill that he would have to carry the log back up the hill so that the town could mow the lawn...


SO, that stopped Ayson from rolling the log down the hill :)


Back at the house, the kids practiced their throwing and hitting skills in preparation for T Ball!

On to hitting


YAY!  The swings are back at the "little park!!!"




First swing of 2016!


On Saturday, we went up to Stafford Park for T-ball practice


Addie got to play next to Ayson

On Saturday afternoon, Beverly Oliver (Mrs Oliver to the kiddos), Khaimier, Sunshine, Khanlen, and Mikhan came to the "Little Park" to play.

Daddy, you look GREAT holding Elsa.  Mikhan asked Daddy to hold Elsa so that she could play on the teeter totter :)


Saturday night, we invited our park friends and neighbors over for the FIRST S'mores of the summer!
Look who came over to play!!!
Hi Gianna!  The kiddos have missed you and are always asking for you :)




Sunshine, Beverly, Daddy, and Jo chatting and eating s'mores while the kiddos played on the trampoline and fort.


On Sunday morning, we made plans with Emmett and played down the road at his house Sunday afternoon.  Emmett's Dad is from Canandaigua (VERY close to where Daddy grew up) so the big boys exchanged hometown stories while the little ones played.

Ayson was not happy with his first picture...


The T-Rex is jumping off the cliff (the point he is standing on) and going after the goldfish in the pond at night (notice the moon :)
