I started the pool at the end of the slide with the hose...but shortly after Kyle thought he could do it better :)
The kids LOVED it!
It might not be your way, but its our way and we love it!

Cades quotes
The other day Lindsey and I were outside talking while our kids were playing. Camdyn was with the triplets which sort of left Cade feeling left out. Clearly this made him feel like he had something to prove. I have taught him that he can not cross the street alone, and typically he is freaked out by the street. To the point that even when I make it to the other side he will make me come back to take his hand. So whole Lindsey and I are talking I see Cade inching closer to the street. I told him to get back because he was going to get hit by a car, and then turn back to Lindsey - knowing that I have a very precautious kid on my hands who wont cross alone. All of a sudden I see him across the street and he looks at me with proud eyes and says "And thats how you do it". Lindsey and I could not help but laugh...I pulled myself together quick enough to scold him and explain how dangerous that was. I hope I got that through to him...scares the crap out of me, that kid!!
Tonight I decide to take a bath, and of course Cade sneaks his way in (which is pretty standard) and says "We need two apple juices please". I about died, it was like I was his waitress. I asked him who the two were for and he said "dont be silly mom, its for Camdyn and I". Lol, so funny!!

hanging with sobotkas!
Last night Camdyn and I went over to the Sobotkas for a night out. Renee and I discussed game plan for Saturdays game and then let the kids play tball for some practice. All was going great...until all the crazy stuff started happening. Thia included me falling backwards off their patio chair...I literally leaned back too far!! Awkward! Then I saw a "mouse" running through their house. This turned out to be that their gerbal got loose, so renee and Matt scrambled to Chase and trap it (funniest thing I have seen in awhile) to get it back in the cage. Then camdyn and Morgan got busted tying to trap under morgans bed, lol...the funny part was that Matt ok'd this activity :). I swore after these events we would never be invited back over...but alas we still had a great time. The kids caught lightening bugs, then watched some cartoons to round out the night. We didn't leave until after 11 on a Tuesday night! Anyone who knows me, knows I love me some sleep. So if I stay out past 10, it must be a good night :

My crazy Sunday
I should have known at 3AM that my Sunday was going to be interesting. At 3AM I was awakened by giggling. The laughter of a 5 year old and a 6 year old. Yes Camdyn and Gracie thought it would be a great idea to stay up and do arts and crafts until the wee hours of the morning. This was actually surprising because these two are usually the first to fall asleep. But not this night, this night they could not close their eyes because they were having too much fun. Honestly I didnt even get mad at first knowing that I would be dealing with a overtired little girl the next day, my first though was that these two were just making memories that will last forever. My second thought, of course, was that these two needed to get some sleep or they would both be monsters the next day :).
Of course when I woke up at 8 AM (5 short hours later), I had two sleepy heads on my hands. Luckily only one of them was my responsibility the next day (sorry Renae :)). Anyhow, that was only how my day started. Usually you think "my day can only go up from here"...I can tell you first hand that my day did not go up from there. Instead while I was walking out of Ace Harware (I actually parked in front of Ben Franklins...which turns out was another bad idea...because Ace Hardware has security cameras that end right before my parking spot (great luck)) I notice that my car has been hit. Yes there is a dent on the front bumper and some chrome chipped from the front of our vehicle. Clearly someone backed up into it - and then you guessed it drove off. So I went back into the Ace to be told that their security cameras didnt pick it up. I called the non-emergency line for Lincoln Police and then sat and waited to basically be told there is nothing they can do about it. So now I get to pay for someone elses mistake. Lovely. On the bright side, atleast I found my registration and insurance slip...that would have sucked to call the police yourself...and then you getting a ticket!
Later in the day, I get a text from my good friend Jodi who wants to get a pedicure. This sounded amazing after the morning I had. What could go wrong with a pedicure, right? Ill tell you what can go wrong. You can get sprayed right in the side with the hose that is attached to the persons pedicure chair next to you. Soaked to the skin actually. I was in a water fight that I didnt sign up for with no ammo. The lady who shot me was lucky I didnt retaliate :)!! I guess if I want to look at the bright side, atleast I wasnt wearing white.
Lastly, I went home to work on a table that I bought and to spray paint some lamps. Clearly I blocked out the fact that I had just gotten a pedicure...and I scrapped both big toes on the cement - rubbing off the polish. Awesome.
The thing is, life could be so much worse. But man, Sunday was an interesting day for sure!!

Cousins!!!
This quote is perfect for this post. I honestly have the best cousins around, I am so lucky to not only have amazing first cousins...but all the way down to very extended cousins. So I want nothing more then my kids to have the same thing and I have no doubt in my mind that these kiddos will be friends for life...not just cousins. They love each other so much and have such a great time together. (of course we are missing a couple here!)
Silly faces
Arts and crafts time!

Kahoa moms girls night!
If there is one thing comforting about Camdyn starting Kindergarten it is these ladies (plus 5 others that we are missing). It felt so good to walk into kindergarten roundup and have a familiar face at almost every table. Sure that comes from being from Northeast Lincoln, but it also comes from meeting all these women through Camdyn. During this past year I started meeting different people through all of the activities that Camdyn was doing. Dance, Soccer, T-ball and of course school. I was keeping in touch with some of these ladies individually (since many of them didnt know each other) when I realized that I should be including them all as a group so we could all get to know everyone at once! So I started an email chain titled "Kahoa Moms". And the rest is history! A little rundown of everyone, and how I met them...
Renee - Camdyn and Morgan (Renees daughter) were in dance together two years ago. We immediatly became friends, and have remained friends since.
Lindsey - I actually originally met her through Renee at a girls night out, but then her triplets were in Camdyns class at Faith. One day Camdyn told me her boyfriend was Carter. It turns out Lindsey was his mom!
Sara - I signed up to be Camdyns Tball coach with Renee, and without even realizing it Sara came up to me at the lunch and lyrics concert at Faith to ask me if I was Camdyns mom who was coaching the Gators. She wanted to know if I needed any help! So sweet - and her daughter is now in Camdyns class this summer at Faith.
Heather - She is another mom at Faith, who had the same work schedule as me so we were always dropping off and picking up our kids at the same time - this meant we were always making small talk. It wasnt long after we met, that we knew we needed to get together outside of pickup times too!
This is the type of night that you get there at 7pm and dont leave until 11pm...on a Wednesday!!
missing is -
Kaydee - who is my Zumba teacher and also has a son going to Kahoa next year
Jill - who is a neighbor down the street with a daughter in Camdyns class (and will play on the Gators tball team) and another daughter in Cades class!
Lisa - She has a daughter in Camdyns class at Faith and will also go to Kahoa as well.
Tori - who I started Kahoa with many many years ago, has the daughter Emma who goes to Faith and also played Soccer with Camdyn and will play Tball on the Gators team
Clare - Camdyn and Lexi started dance together two years ago - and became very close.
It is going to be a great year next year!! Nothing is better then finding this many women who have so much in common with you - and live right in your neighborhood with kids your kids' age. So thankful!!
Hanging with the Lang's!
Seriously in my opinion there is nothing better then ordering Pizza, having a beer and sitting on the back patio with friends. Pretty soon 4 hours fly by and you dont even know how! Cant wait for the camping trip to just relax and do nothing!
Random camera phone dump
Random night at the Svendsens where Camdyn and Carlea had a fashion show for us
This is how I found Cade one day. Of course the marker didnt stop there...it was on our dresser and TV. Ugh, we have our hands full with this one.

Yep, found him in here one day, with the door almost shut. Hes nuts!

Cade sinking the putt!
This year has seriously been one of the best years of the kids lives. They have made so many new friends, they have learned so much and they have an entired binder full of art and memories to keep. It has also been a great year for me, I have made so many great new friends whose children will now move on to Kahoa with Camdyn. We debated for so long about which part of town to live in, where to send the kids for preschool, and when to make the switch. It was a tough decision but after this year - it was probably one of the best decisions we have ever made. Faith was a great school for the kids, and we are looking forward to Camdyn starting Kahoa in the fall. She is definitely not a baby anymore :(!
Camdyns Dance recital
This year I dont have the pictures like I did last year from Camdyns picture day. I had to be out of town so luckily my friend Clare did her hair and makeup and took her to the pictures!! It worked out perfectly - because there is no way Kyle could have done her hair and makeup!
Here are pictures from the day of her actual recital
Aunt Colie did her hair and makeup!
On the ride to the Lied Center with Grandma
Me and Cam after the show!!
Spring Concert
Overall the spring concert went well...minus Howie biting Cade - and Cade bawling :) but after that fiasco it was all great!
Cade is huge, these kids are all his age, and clearly Cade is quite a bit taller!!
