Yesterday, Ben and I went on a bike ride (well, he rode the bike and I walked with Kate). When we got back, Ben went inside and said "Daddy, I am ready to take my training wheels off!" Ron said "What? Are you sure?" Ben was certain! (Ron had told him that if he could learn to ride on two wheels, he could get a new big boy bike- what incentive!!) So, off came the training wheels! We all went down to the park and Ben took off on his bike! It was so great to see him riding. He was so very proud of himself! I guess it is time to go looking for a big boy bike!!
Look Mom, No Training Wheels!!!

Peek-A-Boo!
Where's Kate?
Peek-A-Boo!!
Kate has a new game that she LOVES to play! Peek-a-boo! The other morning I went into her room to get her for breakfast and she was sitting in her crib with a blanket over her head. I asked 'where is Kate' she giggled and pulled the blanket off her head and said 'peeboo!' Too cute! She just loves to play peek-a-boo now! So funny when they have things they think is funny!!

Cousin Grace sent a gift for Kate last week. A beautiful leotard with a tutu that Grandma gave her when Grace was 1. Grace wanted to let Kate borrow it. And, boy, was Kate ever excited when I opened the gift! She just squealed and pulled at it- couldn't wait to put it on! She just looks too cute!!!
Will's Birthday Bash
What fun Saturday was! We started the day with the boys sports and ended with a house ( okay backyard0 full of 6 year old boys! Will's friends, mostly from school, came over to celebrate around 2pm. Fortunately, the weather held out and we had a gorgeous afternoon for an outside party! The boys had such fun playing out back. There was an amazing amount of energy back there. Those boys played some serious games of tag, hide and seek, soccer and one fiesty game of red light green light. It was a party that reminded me of parties from when I was little. Just fun- no crazy activities. The kids had a great time! I made the cake- a baseball theme and it turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself! So, my worries about having 8 little bos in our backyard was without merit! They were all so well behaved and sweet! Enjoy the pictures!
Happy Birthday, Will!!!
So, it finally happened- Will turned 6 on April 30th. It was such a fun day!! I got up early and picked up breakfast from Panera- Will's favorite! We let him open on gift after breakfast- a helicopter that shoots off a handheld 'thing'. He was so excited and took it outside to play with before carpool. Kate and I were going to meet him at school for lunch and donuts with the class. Will was so excited to see us! He was line leader (a HUGE deal in kindergarten!) and had a birthday crown on that he had made. We ate lunch with his friends Marshall, Keegan and Trent. It was so fun to see Will in his element! Those boys are so silly! After they all finished lunch- I passed out donughts to the class and they sang 'Happy Birthday'. As you can tell in the picture, Will would have been happier if they had skipped that! He is so shy! That evening we celebrated with penne (Will's favorite food!) and cupcakes! Gran came in town that afternoon so she was there for the festivities! We had such fun! We are having a party for Will on Saturday- I will share pictures!
