I can sit up!!

Last Sunday Karter started sitting up all by himself. He will now sit for a long time and play with his toys. He is very proud of himself.

Kade reading Karter

The other morning we were getting ready to go and I found Kade and Karter reading the fishing magazines. Kade was showing Karter all the Muskies!

Drinkin' my juice:)

We have started having Karter drink his juice out of a sippy cup instead of a bottle. He isn't that great at it! I think he spills more than he drinks, but he is trying.

Kade's 5!!!

Can't believe Kade is 5 already. This year we did the marathon of birthday parties. We had cupcakes on his actual birthday in Amboy after Depot Days Carnival. Then we had a brunch in Amboy while Chris, Kristin, Olivia and Peyton were home. Then finally we finished our tour at Grandma and Grandpa Girton's.
Here's the birthday boy with shark cupcakes.

Birthday brunch at Grandma and Grandpa Stenzel's house. Here are all the cousins-Peyton, Olivia, Kade, Noelle and Karter.

Opening presents at our house.

Kade's birthday breakfast...pancakes, eggs and bacon.

Kade with his shark cake. This cake was all he could talk about for weeks! Wasn't sure I could pull it off, definitely challenged my skills:)

School Days

Can't believe it is time for school again. Kade started Kindergarten this year and Noelle started Pre-K.

Here's Kade by his locker at orientation night.

First day of school.

Since he is in Kindergarten this year, the bus comes and picks him up @ 6:40 am. Since we all know what a morning person I am, we all know how fun it is to get up and ready!

First day of Pre-K. She is loving school.
