Boys camping trip

Brent and the older boys decided to camp out in the backyard last week. They thought it was so much fun. They spent 2 hrs coming into the house for numerous bathroom breaks and just general excitement kept them up well past bedtime. They surprised me and they both made it out in the tent all night long. Hendrix and I enjoyed a nice quiet night inside. Then joined them in the morning to play in the tent for a bit before we had to clean it up. 
Jaxon and Brent will have their first real camping trip soon when they go for the father and sons campout. 

Preschool graduate

Jaxon has had a really great year in preschool this year. He learned so much and it has been a great experience for him. He used to be my VERY shy boy but he has become so much more confident and comfortable talking to people. We really loved his preschool and all the amazing teachers there. 
They had an end of the year music program that was so cute. He is so excited to start kindergarten in the fall!

Walking

Hendrix has been walking for the last month or so. He started off only taking a few steps here and there but only every so often. Then one day he just took off and he is quick. He is now to the point the he almost never crawls anymore because he is just as fast if not faster walking. 
The older boys thought it was so much fun "teaching" Hendrix how to walk and cheering him on as he was learning. 

Field trips

One thing that I've really enjoyed about Jaxon's preschool is all the fun field trips that they go on; and that I have been able to go along on all of them. Last month we went to Papa Murphys and they toured the whole store and then got to make their own pizzas. They were really nice and let younger siblings make one too. 
The best part was lunch was taken care of that day! 
Last week we went to the Jr livestock show. We were able to see lots of sheep, cows, pigs, and a few goats. The boys had the chance to pet a cow but both declined but Jagger was eager to feed the pigs.
