Last Day of School!

This BIG kid, is now officially a FIRST GRADER!!

When he came home, we got to work cleaning out his backpack...THIS "treasure" he insisted on keeping and looked at me like I had two heads when I was trying to throw it away.  He promises me that these are his "important" things.

And somehow the putting away of the supplies turned into crafting time...this is maybe NOT the way to start out summer break.  Clean house = messy house. This transformation happens very quickly!

Which somehow evolved into Ry fixing Julia's hair.  It's not as sweet as it seems..he is trying to make her look like a monster.  Don't think my 6 yr old boy would be giving her princess treatment or anything! =)

Recently, a kind neighbor gave us this train track from her childhood.  Glam and Papa came by and we visited our local hobby store for some supplies to see if we could get it up and running.  Ryan is in HEAVEN.  His train "phase" maybe not such a phase...it's thus far truly been a lifelong hobby! Daddy and Papa are having fun with this new set too.  I am wondering how many train sets we'll need to collect before the madness all ends!

All Boy...

Today I received a phone call from the school secretary telling me,
"Ryan found some mud on the playground and he'll be needing
some new shoes, new shorts, new shirt..um, you probably want to go
 ahead and bring him up an entire new outfit!"
My dear boy, someday when you have a son of your own, I want to make sure you r
emember all these things...and your poor wife..and the laundry she will endure!! =)

Ry's First Teeball Game

Ry had his first teeball game today, and quite the crowd showed up to cheer for our little man!

His first hit...a base hit!
(And the crowd went wild!)

Run to first!!!

And he scores!!

After the game, we enjoyed some ice cream--much needed on this HOT day!
