Ashley's Pre-K Graduation!

Ashley's preschool is so cute!  We were wishing that Trevor's preschool in AZ had the same preschool graduation festivities that His House did this year!  Look how cute Ashley is in her cap and gown!

They didn't wear cap and gown for the actual ceremony but we thought the little house they walked through was pretty cute!

After finding seats, Mommy went to change Ashley and take a few pictures.  

Her teachers - Mrs. Kylie and Mrs. Jennifer:

We snuck in a quick picture before the ceremony began - in hindsight we should have pulled Trevor out of school so that he could join in the celebration but well, we can't go back :)

They sang adorable songs and of course Ashley showed how much she loves an audience!

And before we knew it, it was Ashley's turn to walk through the house and graduate!

Afterward Daddy gave her flowers - she loved them because they matched her dress!

Ashley and her BFF Bria!  Fortunately they are both zoned to go to the same elementary school next year!

Pretty girl pose LOL

So proud of our baby girl.  Who is clearly no longer a baby!  She is ready for for kindergarten and being able to go to the same school as Trevor!!!  Mommy on the other hand could use just one more year of preschool ;) 

And since we aren't sure exactly where to put this pic, we'll include it here.  What a great class Ashley was a part of!

Mother's Day

Brian and the kiddos sure know how to make Mommy feel special on her special day!  It started earlier in the week when Ashley proudly handed Mommy this 'All About My Mom' sheet.  'I love my Mommy because she gives me hugs' AWWWWWWWWW!

After church and breakfast at Mommy's favorite place - The Buttered Biscuit, Mommy was sent to the spa for pampering!  While Mommy was there, Daddy took the kids to the pool where they ran into some friends.

The kids didn't just make Mommy a Mother's Day card - they made her scrolls!!!!!!

Then we met our friend's the Martins at Tontitown Winery, which is becoming part of our Mother's Day tradition.  The kids played, the parents had wine and chatted on the nice day!

Back at home after a yummy meal prepared by Daddy we vegged out.  Some of us slept ;)  But he deserves to be tired given everything he did to make Mommy feel special on Mother's Day!  Thanks Babes!

Cinco de Mayo Fiesta!

We decided that in order to meet some more neighbors as well as hangout with neighbor friends, we would host a Cinco de Mayo Fiesta at our house!  We had Tacos 4 Life cater it and the food was a hit - so yummy!!!!!  

Brian did a great job with the bar set-up!

Festive decorations that we've used for all of our Mexican parties!

Brian also did a great job setting up lawn games too!

Sara had custom wine glasses made as little party favors for the girls.  Everyone LOVED them!!!!!

Cheers!

April Happenings

April was another busy but fun month on the home front!  Here's what else was happening!!  Every day Ashley insists on taking her scooter to get the mail!  Her dance and cheer outfits crack us up :)

Ask Ashley what she wants to be when she grows up and she'll answer a model.  It's better than a baby which is what she usually says :)

So the car story...Brian's car has been in the shop a lot lately, all covered under the extended warranty but the warranty is up in August so he started looking at cars.  Cars way outside what Sara was comfortable with but on the night before we were leaving for Kansas City with the Roslansky clan we were looking online at BMW's (you may remember that one that we loved but it was totaled after about a year of having it).  We found a Certified Pre-owned 2015 640 sport, premium, everything with only 17,000 miles on it here in Bentonville but with Brian traveling the next day and us being in KC all weekend we kinda said if it was meant to be we'd check it out when we were back on Monday.  Well.....after Sara picked Trevor up from school to head out we swung by the dealership to see if the car was still there and it was and it was as sharp as ever.  She knew Brian would love it!!!  So she texted him and he said to see what she could negotiate!  Well she negotiated the car down and negotiated the trade in amount for his current car with 2 kids in tow and in and out in 45 minutes!!!  Sara was pretty proud!  Plus she knew Brian would be ecstatic about his new car!  Every bell and whistle and there aren't many 6 series around!!!  

Plus she looks pretty good in it! HA LOLOLOLOLOL!  But really he did love it and was excited it was as easy as that!  We also negotiated an extended warranty so besides the 2 years CPO it's also covered for an additional 5 years.  Scary to think this could be Trevor's first car!!!

Golf started up again.  Funny that the girls coordinated this day without knowing it!

Playing with Cuddles all day, every day!

We went with friends to Arkadia in Fayetteville one night.   Ashley was a hoot trying out all the games!

She might be hooked!

One lazy Sunday afternoon we watched The Greatest Showman!

Ashley's silhouette eating popcorn and watching the movie!

Panning for Gold from the kit the Easter Bunny gave him!

Toby trying to help capture the squirrel(s) hiding out in our soffit and attic!!  ARGH

Dance class - getting ready for recital!

Ashley received an award from her preschool for gentleness.  She was so surprised and proud!!

Having fun at school!

Trevor's class got to have a donut party after successful testing!

Trevor's sharp and sporty new haircut!!

Toby....sleeping, no surprise there!

Basketball fun with Daddy!

Completing his cursive book for school!

Every day after school Trevor's buddy Kellan from down the street comes over to play!  Well good thing Mommy looked out.  The soccer ball went over then fence and they were going to get it by using the ladder.  Yikes!

Ashley decided she does want to continue with cheer and maybe be on a team next year so we invested in cheer shoes for her.  She totally looks legit now :)
