Camp Grandma!!!

Each of the boys recieved something special in the mail today...an invite to the 1st annual "Camp Grandma"!!  Grandma and Grandpa Andrus have invited Dryden, Cohen, and Caden to spend the weekend with them at their home!  This weekend's festivities will include swimming, playing, movies, treats, and a whole bunch of special Grandma and Grandpa hugs and kisses!!  The boys are SUPER excited for their first weekend away from Mom and Dad.........and I guess Mom and Dad are just going to have to find the courage to brave the weekend ALONE!!!!  Peace and quiet....sleeping in....dinner and a movie....relaxation....How will we EVER survive?!?!?!?!?!?!? 

Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Andrus!!

Losing Teeth

It is amazing how something as simple as your oldest child losing their first tooth can really make you feel your age!  Where is the time going?!?!  Regardless, Dryden has now lost both his first AND second tooth!!!  I am not sure if I was ever as excited to have random parts of my body fall off...or out...or whatever, but we have one exctatic six-year old on our hands!!  I'd be lying if I tried to tell you it's not the cutest thing in the world, but it feels like such a milestone!!  From nursery to kindergarten to losing teeth.....just the other day he was asking us how long he has to wait to drive the car!!!! 

Handsome Little Devils!!

Dryden is getting so big!  Six now, he is getting ready to start First grade at his brand new school and couldn't be more excited.....Mom and Dad are pretty excited for school to start too!!  Some of his favorite things to do these days are reading, coloring....he's quite the little artist, playing Batman...of course, and just hanging out with the family!  He also LOVES to dance!  There aren't very many days when he doesn't aske us to turn on some music so he can rock out!  His dance moves are pretty impressive....spinning around and around and around and around.....and around....and around!  He starts baseball in September and the whole family is looking forward to it! 

Cohen just might be the funniest little boy we've ever met, and absolutely fearless!!  The other day we walked to the park down the street.  There were a few young teenage girls hanging around on top of the playset....Cohen walked right up to them and said, "Hey. What's up?? My name is Cohen, and my tricks are tricky!!"  Talk about a 'smooth criminal'!!!  Watch out Mom and Dad.....and watch out little girls....he's gonna be a heart-breaker!!!  He is getting so excited to start T-Ball in September and so are we!!!

Caden is.....well....absolutely wonderful!  Talk about a little angel, this one has the whole family wrapped around his chubby little fingers!  He is starting to talk all the time, his word of the week is "MO-O-O-OM!!"  and even though we are sure we hear it at least once every other minute it has not lost it's perfect-ness!  Despite his apparent affection for Mama, he is 95% Daddy's boy...wrestling and rolling all over the place.  One of their favorite things to do together right now is play the tickle monster.....Caden loves to laugh, and we love to hear it! 

SOOOOOOOO in love with these little men......

And speaking of being 'in love'..........
