Kindergarten Bound...

It is official! On Monday morning we took Bruce to his school and signed him up for kindergarten! He was so excited to be in his new school. We will get to go to the school a few weeks before it starts so we can meet his teacher. He is so excited to get school supplies soon too!

Levi has 7 teeth now, 4 on top and 3 on the bottom. We are thinking the other bottom tooth should be coming very soon as well. It has taken him a lot longer than Bruce to get his teeth, but we are glad because the dentists say that the longer it takes to get baby teeth in the better chances of good and healthy teeth! He also knows how to turn on the house phone and call mommy's cell phone! He likes to talk on the phone, the little goofball!

All in all the boys are doing great and are healthy! Matt and I are doing really good too. We have been swimming a lot lately, the humidity here is terrible! Hopefully we have some beach trips coming up soon since 2 hours isn't too far!

God is so great and continues to bless us each day, so God bless everyone too and have a great day!

Beautiful June!

June has been a great month thus far! Matt went on Tuesday to do pwac for jumpmaster and he passed! Matt is officially a jumpmaster now and only needs 13 more jumps to get his senior parachutist badge! We are so proud of him, especially since a lot of people have to retake the jumpmaster course more than once and he only had to take it once!

Levi is officially are little monkey! He climbs on the bunkbed stairs, the toy rack shelf, the kitchen chairs, the rubbermade drawers and anything else! This is new for us, because Bruce has never been a climber and Levi is only 16 months old! Levi also climbed out of his pack and play yesterday by putting his toy bucket in it and procceeding to climb over the side! He goes 90 miles a minutes and never stops, but he is so much fun and so cute! We have found out that he loves to go to the park and swimming, so that takes a little edge off of his massive energy!

Bruce is starting to reconize bigger numbers now. Such as 55 or 98, he says them instead of 9 & 8! He can also reconize more words that he can read! And if you give him a simple word to spell, such as rat or green, he will spell it by sounding it out! We are going tomorrow to enroll him in school and he is so excited for it! I can  hardly believe how quickly our boys are growing up!

We are really loving this season in NC, the last one we hadn't eperienced here yet (well almost summer at least). It is so nice and hot here! The only thing that is an issue is the sun! We burn up with high SPF sunscreen on after only an hour or so in the sun! We never had that issue in MO! We have made some friends here and are having a really good time getting to know the area around here.

The boys have really come to love the swimming pool, and one perk to living on post is that we can go to any of the several pools at any neighborhood for free anytime they are open. We just have to show our pool pass and ID! Which is a good thing, because we went 3 times last week!

We are also looking forward to our first long trip since moving here in Oct! We are driving on July 1 to Iowa! We can't wait to see everybody! God bless and have a safe and fun week!
