Taekwondo

First day, and he's LOVING it!  I'm loving it, too, and not just because he looks completely adorable in his uniform.  I think this is going to be a great experience for him!!  xoxoxo

Swimming, Swimming, and More Swimming

Today was day #3 of rec department swim lessons at Edwards Beach.  It's no Pool School, that's for sure, but it's been a fun week of swimming and picnic lunch with lots of friends from school.

Trying to suck the seeds out of a baby bell pepper with a straw….Nothing like a challenge...

Stylin'!!

Bree got her first "big girl" hair cut AND style today at Mommy's salon.  No more Kid Klips for this girl.  Too bad Mommy didn't think to take a picture of the finished product.  But she did look spectacular for the birthday party that followed our morning at the salon!

Parlee Farm

Super fun afternoon of strawberry picking at Parlee Farm.  Pretty sure Brienne ate her weight in strawberries.  Lucky for us, they didn't weigh her on the way in and on the way out!

Canobie Lake Park

Daddy took the day off for a trip up to Canobie Lake Park.  Sadly, we only got a 1/2 day in before the downpours drove us out of the park.  It was fun while it lasted!

Waiting in line for ride #2 on the Dragon Coaster -- his FAVORITE!

Father's Day In Maine

My big boy doesn't even need help getting in and out of the boat this year!

The cousins are perhaps getting a little TOO brave on Grampy's boat….

The funky chicken??

My boy who LOVED lobster last year, sadly did not care to try any this year.  I totally blame myself for encouraging him to come see the live ones.  Oops!

Liam was the only kiddo that had any interest in touching the live lobstas!

Post-dinner snuggles in Grampy's chair.

The Great Outdoors

Enjoying nature with Daddy up in Maine.

"Whale Rock" -- a childhood favorite of Mommy, Uncle Barrio and Auntie Renee.

Master Bedroom Remodel

This is what happens when children are unsupervised while Mommy is on the phone dealing with annoying Bank of America customer service....

Soccer Celebration

The last soccer game was cancelled due to weather this morning, but the sun came out a little later on and made the team get-together at Kimball Farm really enjoyable.  We were fortunate to have Aiden play on a team coached by friends, Nick and Heather Marquez, who really went the extra mile to make sure the kids had a fun season.

Coaches Nick and Heather created special certificates to present to each of the players.  Nick gave a little spiel about each of his players as he handed them out.

So proud!  :-)

The Purple Thunder Snakes.

Monkeying around in the trees with buddy, Ethan.

Preschool Graduation Day

Can't believe our little man is kindergarten-bound in the fall.  The past 3 years at Westford Preschool have absolutely flown by!  So proud of you, Aiden. xoxo

Receiving his diploma from 2 of my favorite teachers, Mrs. Stobie and Mrs. Kierner.  He recently asked if he could invite them to his next birthday party.  So cute!!

Time to celebrate!

Bree SOOO wants to be in the "Red Room" next year.  Sorry Sweets - but I'm sure you're going to have a fabulous year in the Yellow Room.

They even LOOK older since the first day of school in the fall!

Mrs. Dinsick was the teacher aid in Aiden's class this year, and also the moderator for the after school "Kid Ventures" program that both kids attended from time to time.  The kids just love her!

I'm so going to miss Mrs. Stobie next year.  *sniff, sniff*

The celebration continues.  Proud Daddy.  :-)

BBKidz Club

One of the preschool moms organized a get together at an indoor playground to celebrate the Fall Fives graduation tomorrow.  What a great opportunity to have some crazy fun with our friends before the end of the year!  Many of Aiden's classmates will be attending the same elementary school next year (one of 3 in Westford), so hopefully there's a good chance that some friends will be in his class going forward.  Big changes in the year ahead!
