Summertime...

Here are some summer highlights so far!!!
Ethan's cast came off at the start of summer break...

Just in time for some Six Flags fun...

Addison loves to walk & explore (look at this beautiful porch that Uncle Cory & Auntie Katie have...)

Ethan is always being SILLY!

Pool fun at Grandma & Grandpa Great's house... Addie says... thanks Uncle Cory for blowing up my swimming pool and playing with me!

My first pickle and hanging out with Auntie Erin.

My first popsicle from the ice cream man!

We are so excited for a visit soon from our cousins... Ryann & Cara... and excited for Grandma & Grandpa to be staying in town for almost a whole week!

Baby Dean Michael

Baby Dean Michael Wagner was born on May 31st. I am so excited to have a new nephew. I got to sneak out of my house for a while yesterday to go hold him... he is so adorable. Ethan is sure excited to have a new little boy cousin.

Such a cute family...

I LOVE this photo...

Just a few minutes old...

Last Day of Kindergarten

Ethan's last day of Kindergarten...



Standing on the bench that Uncle Zach built for his Eagle Project (I think... or am I making this up??? I can't remember...)


In front of the West Park Eagles painting...



Ethan had a wonderful year as a PM Kindergartner in Mrs. Schuh's class. I sure love my little guy that is growing up soooo fast. This is the sweet email that we received from Mrs. Schuh this week...

"I give you back your child, the same child you confidently entrusted to my care last fall. I give them back reading, writing, pounds heavier, inches taller, months wiser, more responsible, and more mature then they were then.

I give them back reluctantly, for having spent ten months together in the narrow confines of a crowded classroom, we have grown close. We have lived, loved, laughed, played, studied, learned, and enriched our lives together this year. Take care of them, for they are precious.

It has been my pleasure and privilege to watch each child's personality unfold day by day and marvel at the splendid miracle of development in each one of them."

Anaheim Vacation

Addison has recently moved into her own room for sleeping!!! It is working great except for the fact that she shares a room with our computer. When Addie is sleeping is when I have time to blog, pay bills on computer, etc... and I can't because they are in the same room! Looks like I need to do some rearranging and quick!
Here are a few photo favorites from my trip to Anaheim last week for a conference and some fun! Addie, Auntie Devyn and I had a wonderful time. We also got to spend time with extended family (Auntie Barbara, Uncle Bob, Uncle John, and Patty and Steve Pickett)...

Let's Go Giants, Let's Go!!!

We took Addison to her first Giants game... It was part of our "birthday celebration, spending time with Z-Wag before he goes on his mission" weekend... The Giants beat the Cardinals 2-0, Addison got an official certificate for attending her first Giants game and Ethan had a great time trying to get everyone to buy him souvenirs (he did end up with a baseball from Uncle Cory!)... Here are some photos to document the evening (Cousin Mark & Mallory and Grandpa Wagner were with us at the game but they were sitting on the ends and I didn't snap any photos!)...




Really was hoping to get a good family photo but it was not happening... can you see the tired circles under Addie's eyes and the nice light coming out of Ron's head.


Both kids fell asleep on the car ride home (rarity for Ethan)... this is Addison when she woke up sometime during the middle of the night.

Ethan Faces

When I asked Ethan to practice his smile on the way to t-ball pictures these are some of the faces I got...



It was pretty cute... except for the part where he likes to do exactly the opposite of what I ask :-) I think he was smiling for the actual photo... we'll see...
and Happy Birthday today to cousin Cara Kay!!!

Uncle Zach

We love you Uncle Zach and enjoyed spending time with you today and this past week. We know you are going to have an amazing experience in Fort Worth, Texas for 2 YEARS but we are sure going to miss you!
