It's summer time!

Today was George's last day of school so summer is offically here! The kids in George's class had a water party after school and everyone had lots of fun and got really wet.

Now I need to figure out what we are going to do all summer to stay out of trouble!

The boys loved playing in the water. Henry was especially proud that he could get his frozen gogurt to stick to his wet shirt.

This is George's darling Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Fisher. George has loved being in her class. He has had the best experience this year. All of the kids in the class are friends and they all enjoy spending time together and help eachother. They've been wonderful to Henry too and include him in their activities. We will miss this class!

George is 6!

How quickly time passes... It amazes me to think that it was six years ago when we first met our George. He's grown up so much.

We tried to make today his special day. Probably the best part was having his uncle Rick here to celebrate and play with him. We had pancakes with strawberries for breakfast, then George's best friend Travis came over to suprise George with crispy cream donuts. It was the cutest thing to watch these two little boys be so excited about the little suprise.

Uncle Rick walked over to take George to school with us, and George took all his birthday party invitations to hand out to his class. We have been so lucky with his school. There are only 13 kids in his kindergarten class and everyone of them are wonderful. So of course we had to invite the whole class!

I took icecream sandwiches over about an hour later for his special birthday treat. George was just beaming. He was so excited for it to finally be his turn.

After school his little friends Travis and Payton came over for a mini party. The boys played in the backyard and ran through the sprinklers. They had a blast!

Mike made it home for about 30 minutes to open presents. He gave George a legos X wing fighter. George was in love. Sometime I'll have to write about how legos came to rule the Floyd family.

We had a spagetti and meatball dinner per George's request, then all three boys wrestled uncle Rick till they were laughing so hard they were almost in tears. George, Henry and Rick started putting the lego kit together until bedtime. He thought it was a perfect day.

Here are some of my favorite more recent pictures of George that just make me smile.

San Diego with Grandma Floyd

Last week we went to San Diego and met Mike's mom there. Everyone had a wonderful time. The boys (including Mike) loved playing on the beach, looking for seashells, and digging for sand crabs.








George and Henry loved to chase the waves in and then run away from them. Henry thought he could stop the waves by throwing sand at them and shooting them with his smash ball paddle. (Everything is a gun when you are a three year old boy).

We took the boys to the San Diego Zoo. I think their favorite part was the tour because they were finally able to sit down. George asked if we could ride the double decker bus from the moment we got there. Finally I told him that if I heard him say "bus" one more time, he wouldn't ever get to ride on it. Soon George was asking if it was time for the "B-word".

We spent two days at Sea World. George and Henry got to feed dolphins, pet sting rays, hold star fish and get soaking wet durring the dolphin show with Mike. Grandma and I were smart enough to sit outside of the soak zone.

The boys on their way out to the beach and the pool.

For Mother's Day we had brunch at the Del. It was amazing. I especially loved not having to cook or do any dishes. The boys loved it too. George ate two omlets and a plate full of King Crab legs, giant shrimp, strawberries and cherries. I couldn't get him to try an oyster on the half shell. He said they smelled funny. Henry focused on the crab and shrimp.

It was slightly wild with the three boys at the buffet, but they did pretty well.

Mike's mom loved spending time with her grandsons, and they loved being with her.

Great Strides Wallk

We had a great turnout for the Kansas Great Strides walk. As a team, we exceeded our goal of $1500 raised. Thankyou to all of you who came and who supported us!
