I thought preschool graduations were pretty silly until we had a preschool graduate of our own. And now I realize how adorably sweet they are. And a time to celebrate them moving on to big kid school! I don't like to see her grow so fast, but all these little milestones make life so sweet.

Sydney woke up feeling sick and tired, but I couldn't let her miss this big day! Ssh...don't tell the other moms.

Kathleen came with us, and we walked in to the auditorium to see it FILLED from just her classmates' families/friends! I guess preschool graduations really are a big deal!

They all sang along to several songs and took turns with little speaking parts. Sydney was a champ, even though she wasn't feeling too hot.

That boy right behind Sydney is Luke, who she really liked this year in preschool. She'd make him notes all the time, and asked me why he'd run away when she tried to give him hugs. :)

Sydney's sweet teacher, Ms. Annette.

The graduate! This picture cracks me up, with her half-closed eyes. Poor girl. I'm so mean. But I couldn't miss this!

We came home and celebrated with poppers

Spring is here and we're usually found doing this:

picnics outside are way more fun

we're usually nudie

Max is always showing his bum crack

We love it when Nana and Papa visit!

If it's raining, the kids will be found outside with their rainboots and umbrellas and won't come back in until they're soaking wet.

I just love seeing him try to be such a big boy. I'm denying the fact that he really is becoming a big boy very quickly.

They beg for Daddy to "Walk on the ceiling" :

Noah face-plant-slobbers his kisses

Great Grandma is the sweetest!

The kids LOVE "D-Money" (soon-to-be Uncle David)!
