From the Mouths of my Babes

Erik's nickname for Caleb is Slobovich.  Nice, huh?  Well the boy is pretty messy!  During Caleb's graduation they announced one of his classmates with the name Starkovich.  Mila turned to me and said, "just like Slobovich!"

Caleb was asking me about "exchange autograph day" at his school.  I explained what that meant and told him how we used to write in each other's yearbooks at the end of the school year.  I asked him what he'd write to his friends, and he told me he's write to Vivian, "I can't wait to grow up and marry you!"  He's too cute!

Caleb's Kindergarten Graduation

Last year, I was so stressed out not knowing if we made the right decision for Caleb to go to St. Patricks for school.  Well I stressed over nothing!  He loves St. Pats, and so do we!!  His Kindergarten year was awesome!  He learned so much, made new friends, and truly loved going to school!  He learned how to read, write, add, subtract, learned about money, religion, social studies, technology, Spanish, and his two favorites, science and art!  We are so proud of him!  I'm already super excited to see which teacher he'll have next year, and which friends will be in his class!

High Five!

End of the school year!

While homework time seemed to drag, this school year flew by!!  This last week of school was packed with lots of fun events!  Mila's school had an Ice Cream Social, and then Caleb had Field Day and Graduation!

Field Day was technically Caleb's last day of school.  That day was also Mila's last day of school too!

She loved Teacher Sue!

She loved Teacher Beth too!

I love summer!  It's always been my most favorite time of year!  I would play outside all day, and Natalie and I lived at the pool!  Even though I'm sad at how quickly the school year flew by, I'm truly so excited for the summer with my babies!  A tradition I started last year was having a "Welcome to Summer" sign hung up for them when we got home!  This year, I added some fun summer toys and workbooks :)

Happy Mother's Day

When I came home from work on Friday, I saw this surprise in the garage!  I had showed Erik a picture of how to make the garage door entrance more welcoming.  He made my vision come true! To finish it off, I ordered a decal for the door that says "Welcome Home."  

Then on Saturday we stopped by Pops and Nana's to give Nana her Mother's Day presents.  She fixed the kids a snack, and then we had some fun outside together.  I also got a really yummy smelling candle!  Then as part of my Mother's Day presents, we went and bought some flowers to plant.

On Sunday morning, I received another surprise!!  Erik had bought the console table that I've been eyeing for a year!  Now the mudroom is complete!

Erik made all of us breakfast, and then we went to the park with Grandma Joy and Auntie Lisa's family.  After our park picnic, Erik got Dairy Queen and Slurpees for everyone!  It was a fun day together!

I got this cute frame from Joy.

We love slurpees!

While getting the kids ready for bed that night, I found this love note from Caleb.  It says, "I hope you had a good Mother's Day!"  I sure did :)

On Tuesday, my Mama and Dad came over for dinner.  We got Outback to go, and I got a Kohl's gift card from my Mama!  The kiddos and I had fun giving my Mom her gifts, and then took a few pictures together!
