Buzz Cut

Here is the before (notice those BIG, BLUE EYES!):

And here is the After:

I can't help but smile every time I look at this buzz cut cute kid!

Easter Bunny

Oh yes!  The Easter Bunny came to visit Jack! 

And at the last minute, right before he went to bed, Jack remembered the Easter Bunny needed a treat, too.  Some water, spinach leaves, and carrots.  That Easter Bunny was hungry and thirsty, too, come to find out.  I wonder how many boys and girls think to leave HIM a little something special like that?!

Jack was SO excited!

He even slept with the bunny the Easter Bunny left him last year!  I love both boys' necks stretched trying to see what kind of treats were left...and Baby Niki was right there, too!

This boy got all KINDS of things!

Early morning happiness is sure awesome.

And little Miss was right there watching the whole thing.  Yes, she is allowed on the couch now.  That is what happens I guess, when you get old.  It doesn't happen all the time, but when she is a good old lady, she is rewarded.

 

All Star

This little baby boy made the Kennesaw Generals 6U-A All-Star team. 

We have probably the most well-behaved, sweet, kind, CUTE, and dedicated boys out there on our team, too!

Each boy was awarded a special baseball pin signifying his place on the team.

They have thrown balls, they have caught balls, they have run the bases, they have hit the batting cage, they have done push ups, they have run laps, they have cheered in the dugout, and they have dedicated their time and energy to each other.

Then the uniforms came!  We had a special ceremony to present each player with his hat and practice jersey.

Which really proved how proud we are as parents!

See how cute?!

And they practiced again - Myers 4 at third.

Then it became official, the boys were presented with their fancy dancy All Star bags.  Check out how thrilled Jack's Dad is!  HA!

We are beyond excited for this baseball season.  We are thrilled to watch baseball.  We are ready for each and every day to be focused on our little man and becoming a great ball player. 

Uh Oh!

Uh Oh!

Kennesaw

Generals

Comin' for ya!

Oh Yeah!

OH YEAH!

Last Day of Kindergarten

This is what a boy looks like the morning of his LAST day of Kindergarten.  He was sound asleep.  The boy was snoring a bit.  Probably mostly due to his stuffy nose.  Check out those lips!

This is what he looks like after his face has been smooched, he turns over, taking that right hand by his mouth and tucking it beneath that chin.  He no longer sucks that thumb.  Jack's baby, cheetah, and new wolverine (under the covers right there in the front) are close by him.  Check out those lips again!

This is what he looks like when I turned Wild Kratts on in his room.  Oh, yeah, Jack has a tv in his room now, since he stopped sucking his thumb.  At least his eyes opened.  I was worried about that today!  We have had a few late baseball nights lately!

Then that morning attitude comes out.  If you look closely, he was crying/whining since he didn't want his picture taken.  Ha.  So, he bent down so I couldn't get him.

But, whew, we made it down stairs and he 'ordered' oatmeal to go with his orange juice.  Jack returned to being a sweet boy again.

And to snag our normal shots...

Here he was on the first day of Kindergarten.

And I couldn't believe how big he was in this one on the first one.

Which bring us to the question:  Where is our time going?!

I have to remember to keep it real.  Be in the moment.  Love my boy each second I can.

Today marks the last day he will have a school bag.  From here on out, Jack will have a book bag.  He also gets a locker in first grade. 

So there my boy is, buckled in the back seat sitting on his booster.  Ready for his Daddy to take him to morning drop off.

Am I sad it is the last day of Kindergarten?  No.  Not one bit.  If there is one thing that is NOT a secret, it is that I love my boy home with me.  What amazes me is that the six years of his life so far are flashing before my eyes.  I don't necessarily want time to slow down, for if it is flying, we are having fun! 

I just want to remember on Jack's last day of Kindergarten, he writes, he reads, he adds, he subtracts, he tells time to the hour and half hour, he knows fractions, he sings when he goes to the bathroom, he much prefers a bath to a shower, he feeds our dog, he loves to be snuggled with, he knows everything, he doesn't need to be shown how to do anything, he needs sleep, he needs food cooked at home, he holds my hand when we are in a parking lot, he loves his shoes tight, he likes to wear underware under his 'cup,' he goes to the pantry or frige to help himself if he is hungry, he loves bubble gum, he loves to pick things up off the ground and keep them.  He is just a sweet boy. 

 

Egg Hunt

The Myers family enjoyed the Egg Hunt this year with The Galbreath family. 

Everyone congregates at the building and at 9:00 SHARP, they sound the horn and the kids are off...

There was no way for me to keep up with the boys...

This was about all I saw of Jack the whole time.

Carter and Jack had a job to do at this Egg Hunt - to get all the eggs and find the golden one.

Sweet boys did find time to manage a quick smile at me.

 

Once it was clear there were no more eggs to be found, I took it as an opportunity to get some family shots, and allow for the crowds ready to eat, to stampede the food line.

I love they were excited for their 'excited' shot!  These two boys together are just hilarious!  Carter definitely brings out a fun side of Jack.

And our breakfast would NOT be complete without Princess Kelsey!

This Easter Bunny was sure excited to see Jack.  I have a feeling I might know who it was and I can't wait to confirm!!
