a mish mash of stuff

The boys started school in September, Noah in 5th grade and Benjamin in Kindergarten, we are back at CPLS, which is so awesome!  Such a great school, and the boys are so happy with their teachers, Noah has an awesome teacher, a man, which is working out so well for him!  Benjamin has the sweetest teacher, he loves her!

This year Noah went through one of the many rites of passage that he will experience at CPLS.  This year was his Latin Naming Ceremony.

Noah's Latin name is Motus, which means motion.  Very aptly named.

This year we have been lucky to have Kindergarten/5th grade book buddies, its nice that we have a Kindergartner and 5th Grader!  Out first outing together was the Pumpkin Patch.

 Benjamin and his book buddy Caleb.

 Noah and his book buddy Spencer.

 Brother and sister.

 Such a big girl!

 Ella and her sweet friend Reese.

Me and my girl!

Big Boy!

Worlds of Fun

We decided to take the kids to Worlds of Fun this summer, which is an amusement park about an hour away from our city.  My husband is a roller coaster junkie, for real, it is a sickness.  He can't get enough.  Me, not so much.  Also, the thought of my two toddlers running crazy around a packed amusement park had me a tad jittery.  I was less than enthused about going, so I was praying that it would all go well.  Well, God heard me and delivered!  We had a wonderful time, no crying, no running from mama, no 9 year old adhd meltdowns, no attitude, no sassiness, just plain old, ride lots of rides and walk until the soles of your feet fall off fun!  We went on a Monday and there were no lines on the rides, other than it being unseasonably hot for the 1st of June, it was a perfect trip.  Thank you Jesus!!
