And He Turns 5!

We celebrated Ryder's birthday in a Dino-Mite style.   Ryder mentioned a little bit ago that he would like a Dinosaur party which I was completely okay with as this allowed me to utilize the museum and have them host his birthday party.  All I had to do was bring the food and take pictures...they looked after the rest...pretty fantastic! :).  

The party started off with some colouring while we waited for everyone to arrive.  

Followed by craft time...painting :).  

And then we went on a Dino hunt for dinosaur bones throughout the museum.  

A little volcano science fun.  

Present Time! 

"Cake" Time - Ryder wanted a Dino dig....in the chocolate pudding is a dinosaur gummy.  

It was such a fun and energetic party!  Ryder has some great friends! 

Doodlebug Playschool

Ryder has completed his time at Preschool.  I'm super excited for next year and Kindergarten for him, but I am also very sad to see this chapter of his life come to an end.  He LOVED his time in preschool and he made some amazing little friends!  

His final week, they walked across the road to the Hemstock (my work!) to sing some songs to the residents and hand out homemade cards.  I was so excited to have them come and sign at work as it was an added bonus that I didn't have to take time off :).  And they were oh so CUTE! 

Someone was pretty excited! 

Handing their cards to Mr and Mrs Eggen. 

Graduation Time.

What a goof! 

I couldn't have asked for some better friends for Ryder during his two years at preschool.  Caleb (middle) will be joining Ryder at Kindergarten in the fall, but unfortunately Sam (left) will be heading to a different school.  

We have had some AMAZING teachers for our boys!  It hasn't been a sad farewell as we still have one more year with Mckenzie :)

School Activities

There have been a few activities at Ezra's school this month.  Thankful for my job that allows me to slip out to go and be a mom when I need to.  

Jump Rope for Heart. 

Why is it that girls are naturally better at skipping than boys ;)

Track and Field

This is a reminder that Ezra is not athletically inclined :).  

However, he can kill a porcupine ;) and drive a quad ;). 

Southridge Family Camp 2016

It was a great fun-filled weekend last weekend up at Family Camp.  The weather was beautiful and the friendship was plenty.  Lots of laughter, late nights, game playing, and some naps even filled the weekend :).  

You know that summer has started when my raccoon eyes start to make an appearance ;). 

Thankful for a weekend of rejuvenation and time spent with friends!
