End of School & Bentley's New Trick

This has been a great school year. We didn't have any problems, and the boys learned so much! Kyler was completely independent as a 1st grader. I never had to do anything to help him with school. He's spoiling me! He got 110 on every spelling test, finished his homework in the car on the way home almost everyday, and taught me all kinds of things they were learning about in class.  He also has tons of friends and was a huge help to the other students in class.

Kyler holding his perfect attendance and A Honor Roll awards.
All the first graders that received awards.
Radley 'helping' me make chocolate covered strawberries for the boys' teachers.  By the end, he had chocolate all over his face and down his throat too!
I'm beyond impressed with Kyler's grades this year!
Kyler's teacher Mrs. Patterson.  He loved her class, and she loved having him in her class!  It was a great year.

One night before bed, Radley put on these pants, hiked them up to his chest, and started shooting basketballs.  It was so hard to look at him and not laugh!
Look at him, haha!!


Bentley officially knows each of her brothers by name. She can point them out individually, and they love it! This is becoming a nightly ritual at dinnertime. 



Her speech is still lacking, but she making a little bit more effort.

Kindergarten Graduation

Damon finished kindergarten!! We didn't know if we should put him in Kindergarten this year because his birthday is in August, but we feel like we did the right thing. He did awesome! He might not be the top student in his class, but he's a super sharp kid, amazing in math and was not behind in anything. He might be a bit smaller than they other kids for a few years, but we think he'll catch up eventually. His teacher never had any problems with him and he always came home with his color on green (meaning he had good behavior) every day!! They said at the graduation that these kids will finish high school in the year 2029!! That is crazy to me!!
Our Graduate!

She'd had enough
Kyler wanted to be there during graduation so he skipped class.
Damon and Mrs. Taylor



Singing Big Dreams. He knew every word to both songs they sang and was very proud of that! He's in the middle second row with a red tie. 



He was so funny when they called his name because you can see how nervous he was to be up there.





The teachers said when they practiced for graduation they all danced around with a lot of energy, but they got scared with all the people there so there wasn't much dancing. However, you can see how bad Damon wanted to jump around and dance!!

Mother's Day

My boys were all really sweet and made me breakfast in bed. My girl just helped me eat breakfast in bed. Once she saw the food, she wasn't going to leave! Kenney also asked the boys some questions in these videos. I sure love these crazy kids of mine!

Early May

May started off with dental appointments for everyone. The boys did great, no cavities and no crying!! This was Radley's first time being seen, and he did so well! The best part was the ice cream of course! End of school activities were starting to vamp up and the weather has been gorgeous.

Radley did awesome at the dentist!!  I was super impressed!
Kenney thought this picture summed up the boys' personalities pretty well.  Kyler staring at a screen and dying to touch buttons, Damon's smirk, and Radley being obedient and doing what he was asked.
Random picture I found on my phone.
Another random picture someone took.
A beautiful Sunday evening with kids enjoying outside.
Bentley getting some rides from Cater.
Damon's class singing Happy Birthday to him because he has a summer birthday.  Radley and Bentley are seen enjoying the party too!
Always sitting on me!
I love this picture of our sweet little girl.
Having fun in the wagon.
I found Bentley sleeping like this one day.  It sure doesn't look comfortable.

Finding Things To Do

First time feeding the ducks.  They stayed up on the wall away from the ducks/geese/  Can't say I blame them; those geese were pretty aggressive.
This kid falls asleep so easily in the car and usually in the funniest positions!
Swinging like a big girl!  She seriously thinks she can do anything her brothers can do.
All three riding together while Kyler was doing piano lessons.
Damon always makes sure Bentley has somewhere to ride!  He really is so sweet to his sister.
"Mom take a picture of my tower!"
