Lots of Posts

I think this is post #4 today. We didn't have internet for a week while we were switching providers, didn't download pics, etc. Anyhow, I need to post about Kevin's graduation. I am so proud of him for his accomplishment. He worked hard and we didn't see him at night for a long time. It's almost weird to have him home every night and not running off to work, internship or school. I love it! We take full advantage and go on walks at night with the boys. Justin fell asleep during the graduation and so there is a picture of "the boys". Way to go Kevin!!

Cousins

Justin loves "J-Jace", or in lay man's terms, his cousin Jason. They are at the age where they have a love/hate relationship. However, in this moment, they were loving life.



Yes, I let Justin play in flour. My sitter gave me the idea. She actually uses a pancake mix because it "sticks better", but Justin loves flour. He'll sit outside for an hour or more with his trucks. This was Jason's first experience being in "Justin's world". He loved it!

Birthday for Justin

I never even posted a picture from Justin's 3rd birthday...2 months ago! All he asked for his birthday was a party hat. Apparently he's been reading and studying his Pooh book that is about Pooh's birthday. At the end, there is cake, balloons and party hats. He had to keep showing me the final picture so I'd get the party hat thing down. Oh man, he was thrilled. Now he thinks EVERY birthday needs cake, candles and party hats! Who knew!

He celebrated his birthday with his cousin, Holly. Her birthday is 4 days after Justin's and just turned 8. We love being close to Holly and her family and so happy we got to blow out candles together!





I have to tell you. When Justin first saw his cake with his new trucks on it, he FREAKED out. Like, screamed, cried, threw himself on the floor. He could NOT stand the fact that they were YUCKY! Kevin's sister, Jenn, made the gorgeous cake for Justin and he just had to throw a fit. She finally got him to calm down and ask you can see, was just fine and cleaned them all up.

Is he the HULK or Mr. Incredible?

We all know Justin is a big kid. Since birth, he started out as a big kid and hasn't slowed since. He has always amazed me, and others, with how strong he is. This has been the ultimate test. We bought him a sandbox digger last year and just put it together. It looks, more or less, like the once pictured.
I came out yesterday to look at it, since the boy I watch in the summer wanted to play on it. Justin looks at me and says, "Oh no. Broke!". I'm thinking to myself, how on earth can this METAL thing get broken in 3 days. Oh, it did. Justin ripped the seat OFF of the metal base. Yes, it was welded together. Maybe not the BEST job, but still!!! heaven help me if he starts lifting the car to get something underneath.
