Love My Growing Boy!

I often hear remarks about how time flies too fast with little ones, and people wishing for time to stand still so their babies can stay babies forever.  But personally, I don't wish to slow down these years. With each passing birthday comes new adventures, new discoveries, (and of course new parenting trials)!  With both my boys I've tried to determine my favorite baby stage. But there are both wonderful - and truthfully some terrible - things that come along with each new stage. I don't love every moment of it, but I love my boys wholeheartedly!

Happy 6th Birthday to my inquisitive, outgoing Gavin!

Not only did this little man turn six today... he also finished his last day of Kindergarten. He's loved his dual immersion English/Spanish class and keeps telling me he's both excited and sad to be done and wants to do summer school over the break until he starts back to school as a big 1st grader!

Kindergarten was a year full of fun new adventures. Class swimming and ice skating parties, a Heber Creeper train ride, and the last month of school seemed like all play and no work! There was a bus ride field trip to the Hogle Zoo, walking field trips to Papa Murphy's and Rancho Market, a walk-a-thon fundraiser, school assemblies, pet days, field day, and a final class program. Here are photos from the walk-a-thon and some field day fun!
