My Kindergarten Graduate

Where, oh where has the time gone? My Ethan "graduated" from kindergarten. I am amazed at how much he has grown this year. My little guy has matured in ways that I didn't even know possible. I guess that his teacher was very insightful by picking a gardening theme.

After Ethan's class entertained the families, we watched a short video created by their teacher. The very first song on the slide show was "Let them be Little." Needless to say, this mommy (and B'maw) were in tears, as was every other mommy and grandma in the room. My little guy is all grown up, and most importantly, he LOVES school. For that, we can't thank Ms. Welch enough.

This is one proud mommy and daddy!

Happy 80th

Great-Grandpa Moeller celebrated his 80th birthday earlier this month with his family around him.

Picture this: Ben and Jerome and the other men are cooking up a storm, the ladies are talking about upcoming graduation parties, weddings, and babies and the children are running from the trampoline to the gator to the hammock to the creek back to the gator maybe stopping to get a bite to eat. Birthday cake is the only thing slowing them down. It's a usual get-together at the Moeller Farm. It wouldn't be a family gathering if at least one child didn't end up in the creek, and that one child happen to be Ethan. It was cold that afternoon, too cold for a dip in the creek!

The slide is fast if you can't tell from her hair.

Oh, and did you read her shirt? It states the obvious, My Mom Rocks. (Thanks Kim!)

It's Buggies' Birthday!

Ellie ~ May 2008

Time sure flies when you are having fun, and we have had lots of it in the last 730 days. I can't believe that my baby girl is two. She was ecstatic that the chorus of "Happy Birthdays" were directed at her.

Happy Birthday Ellie Buggies! We celebrated and celebrated!

Ellie and Ethan celebrated their 2nd and 6th birthdays with our family. Thank goodness for B'maw. She whipped out the two cakes like it was nothing in a couple hours. Ellie loved her "giraffey cake" as did Ethan and his Super Mario Brothers cake. Great job B'maw!

Daddy to the rescue.

Present time

We then had to celebrate on her birthday with ice cream and more presents.

Ellie love, love, loves her water table.

She even hiked her leg up to put her foot in the water, shoes and all. I guess she is like me, she likes splashing her feet in the water.

Everyone loved Ellie's new toy.

What could be better than a bowl of ice cream on a warm spring night?
