My Little Tadpole!

Well, it's been awhile so I thought I should catch up on my blog. Aden has only two days left of kindergarten. He seems excited, but also very sad because he loves his teacher Mrs. Croft and all his friends in his class.

Aden loves to go to Grandma's and Grandpa's whenever we get the chance. We had a great time two weekends ago for Mother's Day. Aden gave me a sweet card and a beautiful necklace. We will be heading down to Grandma's and Grandpa's again this weekend to visit with our Aunt Judy and Uncle Tommy who are from Atlanta, Georgia. Aden loves to hear them talk with their accents, and I love to make fun of them...in a loving way of course! We are getting very excited about our trip to Disneyland next month...although I'm not to sure about the drive:( Hopefully the gas prices won't hurt us too much!

Aden's favorite thing to do is swim and I know we'll be doing a lot this summer. He amazes me with how brave he is in the water and how well he is learning to swim. He has even talked me into letting him go off the diving board in the deep end of the pool. I get nervous every time he does it, because he likes to hangout in the deep end and tread water for awhile. I have to yell, "Aden swim to me...hurry swim...kick those legs!" He thinks it's pretty cool that he can do what the big boys can do. He's now trying to talk me into letting him go down the big water slide that they have at our local pool. I told him, "Let mom get use to you going off the diving board for awhile first...then we will tackle the water slide." He really is a great swimmer!

Aden has also started T-ball and has his second practice tomorrow. His first game isn't until the end of the month, but he is getting very excited for his new t-shirt and hat. He keeps asking me what color his team is going to be, but I have to remind him that we won't know until his first game.

I am staying pretty busy at work...some days are slower then others, but it's nice to be able to have a somewhat quiet summer. I fill-up most of my time preparing lessons for class next year. It has been a great challenge, but also a wonderful learning experience for me to teach. I have also enjoyed the extra time I have to read...books are finally fun again!

We will keep posting new things and new pictures this summer and hope to keep in touch with all our friends and family:)
