{First Plane Ride}

I couldn't have asked for better travelers. The kids did well on their first plane ride to Houston for Grandmommy's surprise party. We talked about plane rides weeks leading up to our flight, and that helped a lot. They were very well prepared. We also loaded up our ipad with movies and picked up a new game for William's DS. The airplane is  not the place to set boundaries. Kids asked for something, they get it :) Before our flight, we gave them a heads up that there are several moments where they will be asked to turn off all electronic devices. When they heard it over the speaker, they were ready. Hooray for a successful first plane ride!

{2013 Father's Day Weekend}

We had a great time celebrating Ed this weekend. We also enjoyed family visiting and seeing our new home for the first time.

Donut breakfast for Daddy and giving him work shoes for his father's day present.

Family game of Rock Band.

The kids loved playing and snuggling with GG and Aunt Soni.

We also had fun shopping and making ourselves comfy(kids napping) at Ikea.

And we all very much enjoyed some good ole BBQ at DBA.

It was a lovely weekend filled with lots of love and gratitude for Ed, an awesome Dad and Husband.

{First Summer Camp}

I have to admit, I was extremely nervous with William starting Summer Camp. Camp, just sounds too big. He's been going to Primrose all his life so it was nerve wrecking to drop him off in one of the biggest camp in town. I should have not been, and trusted how my son's outgoing personality will just be fine. He had a big smile on his face at pick up and was so excited to tell me how his day went on our very short car ride home (Yipppeee).

The camp offers plenty of fun field trips and adventures. But, what I am loving more is there is so much focus on good deeds and God. We are not necessarily super religious...we are your typical Catholics :) We go to church and pray. His camp is managed by the Baptist church near us. I am loving how each week they have themes and Psalm for the week.  The first week, William said he had to memorize his "Song", and we quickly realized that he was saying Psalm.

This week is VBS for the camp. They've been focusing on the bible. He told us that they watched a movie where the guy lost his super power because his wife cut his hair.  We figured that he must be talking about Samson and Delilah :)

This week, I also had the opportunity to witness William's natural ability. People always tell us that this kid is special and has charisma. During picked up, he walked up to his friends and said..."John, Josh and Luke this is my Mom. Mom these are my new friends at school" One of the parent, witnessed it and was just impressed on how such a 5 yr old will think to introduced friends like that.

So happy that our lil boy is having a blast. He's very much enjoyed all his field trips.

Hooray for a great first summer camp!

{Mommy and Samantha's Bow-tique}

She's spunky and definitely is a challenge...but I wouldn't change a thing. I love my girl and every silly time that we share together.

{Brother and Sister Swimming Lessons}

Last night the kids went to their first brother and sister swimming lessons. They have taken classes the past summers but I feel like this semi private setting is really helping them better their skills The kids surely can't wait to be swimming on their own.

Ms. Kelsey is such a great teacher. She made both kids feel at ease and really interested. William and Samantha both had smiles throughout their session...and that smile continued with a dinner at McDonald's post lessons.

{Primrose Kindergarten Graduation}

Our superstar graduated from Primrose Kindergarten! It was so surreal to think that this was his last day at the center. He started going when he was just 6 weeks old and the teachers always felt like family.

The Kindergarten class prepared a program for the night. William never really told us the details. We didn't realized that he was welcoming guests as the class' Classroom Ambassador.

I wish we knew coz we missed the first part of his "speech"...."Good evening my name is William Culler"

William's friends.

Performing songs for the guests.

Receiving his diploma from Ms. Klamon.

And his premonition award. Most likely to become a millionaire and have a long and crazy story detailing how it happened. Definitely appropriate for my animated and outgoing child!

Class of 2013 tossing their cap.

Lil sister was so proud of William!

Our whole family couldn't be more proud of our Kindergarten. Grandmommy and Granddaddy made it to the ceremony all the way from Texas. And of course, Tita Susan wouldn't miss this lil guy's big moment.

We love you William! Looking forward to your bright future. He said he couldn't wait to graduate from college and be a smarty pant :) Us too buddy...and we will be there for you always.
