Me: Put the swords down.
Gage: I can't. 
Me: Why?
Gage: Because I want them.

Ketchup =  Chechup
Mustard = Yellow Chechup
Fruit roll-up = Fruit taco

He saw my wedding picture and turned around with a look of amazement and said, 'you are a princess.'

Dream come true

After six long years of being a full time working mom, my prayers were answered and my dream came true.  I was blessed the opportunity to once again be a stay-at-home-mom.  Since February my days have been filled with this cute guy.
 
To keep Gage connected with friends and to a classroom environment, he attends our church preschool program three days a week.
He was super excited to pick out a new backpack and lunch box for school.  He wore the backpack around for a few days and wouldn't take it off.

First day of 'new' school.

I got to visit the school for rodeo day.


Just a few of the fun things we did this spring was have lunch with Keaton (not pictured) and Cort at school.
We had play dates with friends including his good friend Bentley.

One of our favorite things to do is park hop.

And even better, take a picnic.

 


These are the things I don't want to miss.


I'm one lucky girl!
