My Little Buckaroo

Dillon just finished up what will probably be his favorite week at Preschool:
Cowboys/Cowgirls Week!
He loved it and has been telling me all about what cowboys do. They ate buckaroo stew (beans/hot dogs), drank "cactus juice" (green Kool-Aid), roasted marshmallows by a pretend campfire, and had a dress-up day to celebrate. I think he makes quite a handsome cowboy:
This cowboy also needs a haircut...yikes!
I can't believe my little cowboy will be a Kindergartener in a matter of months!!!

What we've been up to these days

Other than making breakfast on Easter morning with Nana, Chef Emily has been busy practicing softball, reading every chance she gets (she even mentioned aspiring to be a librarian someday), writing poems (even at 11 pm when she wakes up and has an idea for one), preparing for middle school (choosing electives and getting a fun booster shot), and preparing for a special Chorus concert tonight.
And she's been holding this guy non-stop when she's home...


Lilly has been threatening to drink Easter dye (just kidding...doesn't it look like it in this picture though?!), admiring Baby Avery, and is working on potty training.

And she's been giving this guy kisses non-stop...

Cameron has been putting his hands right into the Easter egg dye, looking forward to being a big 3rd grader, playing with his "dudes" in the neighborhood, and getting excited to turn 8.
And he's been talking about how cute this little guy is...
Dillon has been working on getting ready for Kindergarten, having fun in preschool, and losing his first tooth (It's literally lost somewhere in Nana and G-daddy's grass.)
And he's been telling his little brother all the things he needs to know...
Life is busy, but it is GOOD! Little Avery is heavenly!
