Go, go, go....

It's what we do.  But it leads to kids passed out in carseats...that "didn't need a nap!"


The kids still love the stroller...and thanks to Jace being a runt, they still both get to ride in it!


Connor tries to be so helpful.


But even she has to give in sometimes.  Actually, this picture is from her being sick, and having a fever, our first week of summer.  At 4:00 on a Friday afternoon....so luckily the doctors office just called something in!


Didn't take long to recover though!


We had a tree break apart during a couple of the rainstorms we've had.  Jace took his tools out there to get to work!





Impromptu get together at Great-Grandma and Grandpa Boos' with Aunt Janet Boos and the Molleker clan: Jeff, Jennifer, Julia (age 7?), Josie (age 3?) and Jalen (7 months?)  Totally guessing on ages, but think I'm in the right vicinity.  This was an awesome card game...the kids had a blast playing with each other!


Wrapping it up.

May FLEW by.  Just like every other month it seems...

We played in muddy puddles...


Had an impromptu photo shoot with Kyler.  (After, believe it or not, she sat in the car when she got to my house because she was throwing a fit...)  Connor brought snacks to the photo shoot to help.  


"Connor! Bring me a snack!"


But look at this amazing smile!



Connor and her Angus dog.  She loves to take him pieces of dog food, and he loves to eat them out of her hand!


My kids love Reid.  Connor might love him more than Jace even!  His baseball team when to the state tournament.  Unfortunately, they lost their first game, but we were still proud of him!


A few more muddy puddles...


Connor and her "moo-moos"


A little more baseball...


Lovin' on Cassidy...

Connor the Parrot

Connor's vocabulary seems to be growing by leaps and bounds lately.  She will repeat anything you say...and greets Jed every evening with a "Hi, Daddy!"

She loves to eat...and especially loves anything with peanut butter...



She loves being outside, and I love that little pig tail.


She gets so excited anytime the cows come close enough to see them...



And she loves her mudboots.  Partly for the fact that she can get them on by herself...and then of course because she can jump in muddy puddles!



She has an adorable "Cheese!" face!


And we can't forget Jace.  She repeats everything he says!  Best brother ever!

Preschool Graduation, Part 3

As always....the people that were there for Jace.  (Minus the Luedke's, because they had their own kid to chase around!)

These are SOME of the people that are so special to Jace, and so important to all of us for helping with Jace and just being there for him.  And everyone is special in their own way!

Jay takes him farming, and to feed the bucket calf.  Morgan takes him to bible school, and has the best movies at her house.  Oh yea, and she has Kolter and Ketcher.  And Kemper.


Grandma and Grandpa B have the kindle ha ha!  And the best snacks, and the gator, and on and on and on...


Grandma and Grandpa J have so many farming toys!  And Grandpa takes Jace in the tractor, combine, or truck!


Melissa and Aaron are about to have a baby!  Jace can't wait for another cousin!


Jena and Carl have great movies at their house, take Jace to do fun stuff, and now they have a pool at their house!  And they have Homer!


And Barb.  Jace's babysitter.  She is so important because she has sent him off to school and watched him get back from school for the last two years, and we aren't done with her yet!  She always does fun stuff with the kiddos, and Jace loves her and so do we!


Preschool Graduation, Part 2

He is always cooperative with my picture taking, but after about the 500th one, he gets a little squirmy!


The Luedke Family!


Our lil' family!


The two cutest kids you will ever see.  :)


Kindergarten Bound!




Party cakes, compliments of Grandma B.  And they didn't even drop them!


Bonus Luedke family picture!


Jace concentrated so hard on his steps...and so he was SO slow getting to the stage..


There they are....Preschool Grads!


Preschool graduation...Part 1

Our friend Jaime is always willing to design some super cute invites for us...




A perk to working at the school...my class "volunteered" to watch the practice for graduation.  The preschoolers "needed" a pretend audience....


Little Miss Avery Kostman


And the real deal....


Jace wanted to be a "Farmer".


I think Kyler wanted to be a "mermaid,"  



And the entire class.  A pretty good sized class!







A picture of some "farmer boys"...Gavin Woodruff, Riley Grable, and Jace.


Aren't they cute? Avery and Jace
