We've got a Bike Rider...

It will go down in the record books that today Adam learned to ride a bike with no training wheels, thanks to his buddy Lucas!  We were at the Maharry house, when Adam came in and said..."Mom, come outside & look what I can do!"  And off he went...WOW!...So impressed & proud!  When I asked him how he first tried it, he said..."Lucas held the bike for me!" 

Watching him ride...you would have thought he's been doing this for years! (With the exception of a few tough falls, of course!)

Sweet Carolyne?...No that's Sweet Ava Jean!

Ava is just about the age Carolyne was when she wore this dress for our wedding!  Looks like...Like Cousin, Like Cousin...size wise!

You know they are tired when...

They BOTH fall asleep watching their favorite show! (Currently...'Power Rangers'...Adam is 'Jayden' & Ava is 'Mia'!)

Our Bathing Beauty!

Just one of those moments I couldn't resist snapping a photo of my sweet Ava Jean...

Preschool Festibal!

Today was the Preschool Festival...or as Adam says "Festibal" (When I try to correct him, he tells me, "Mom, it's hard for me to say some words, because I am missing my two front teeth."...oh, how this kid makes me laugh!)

Adam and his buddies Gavin & Keithen...

And with his new monkey hat...Adam was loving the balloon lady!

End of Year Preschool Celebration!

Today Adam had his LAST Preschool performance.  He continues to make us proud...and keep us smiling!

Hugging Mrs. Stephens...truly an outstanding teacher!

We love you Adam!...Congratulations to our Preschool Graduate!

(Sniff, sniff!)

Happy Birthday Mason!

Today we headed north to celebrate Mason Sams' birthday at the fire station...what fun!  Between preschool field trips & "Uncle Dan the Fire Engine", as Adam likes to call him...Adam has seen & done a lot, but today was his first time behind the hose...oh, did he like that!

A second turn?...You bet!

The birthday crew...

Back to the Sams' house for a little BBQ & cake...all the kids gathered around Mason to sing "Happy Birthday"...& I couldn't resist snapping a photo of A & A from behind as they watched Mason...oh, the love they have for each other...we feel so lucky & thankful!

Special Person Day...For the Last Time!

Today Adam was the Special Person for the last time! He asked his Dad to come with him...so of course, Kevin did!

He told Kevin he wasn't allowed to sit in the teacher's chair...we convinced him it was okay for just the picture...our little rule follower! (I have no idea where he gets it!)

You know it's hot (enough!) in the Gig when...

It's Slip & Slide time!  Nice slide Adam...

Ava preferrred to run through vs. sliding...

And squeal with excitement!...

Go Sliders!

Today was Adam's last T-Ball game of the year & party...what a fun first season!  Adam had a GREAT coach...finger crossed we get him again!  Go Sliders!

Adam in his new team sweatshirt & with his trophy...that yes, he broke the next morning...Adam is 2 for 2 in breaking his trophies within the first 24 hours of getting them!

And the back...his favorite part!

Kindergarten is coming!

Today Adam had Kindergarten Orientation...SO exciting!...For Adam AND Mommy!  We got to take a ride on the bus...fun, fun!
