At the end of May, Jacoby had his Preschool Graduation. He was so excited to be there and ran around with all of his friends for 15 minutes before the program started. He ran so hard, that he wore himself out and was hot and refused to participate in the program. They did a play about the "Little Red Hen" and Jacoby was a goose. He was supposed to stand up and say a couple of lines throughout the program. Instead of saying what he was supposed to, he would stand up and cross his arms and sigh (loudly) and say "I'm hot". The next time he was supposed to say a line, he stood up and said "I'm still hot". It was actually quite funny and other parents thought so too. Thankfully, the program was short and sweet or he might have really turned into a turd.
Cute little Riley sitting on my lap before the program started. My mom came with us, but we didn't get a good picture of her.

When he was still happy as a goose. Silly kid.
After their play was over, they sat and got graduation caps. They were called down one at a time to receive a "diploma".
After getting his diploma, we were trying to get a picture of him with his speech teacher (his regular teacher was out on maternity leave). As you can see, he wasn't really having it.
The first weekend in June, Dom's parents went to Salt Lake to babysit for his sister, Bobbi. It was also his Uncle Jeff's birthday and so there was a big family barbecue at Jeff and Kris's house. They had swimming pools for the kids to play in and so we sunscreened them up and turned them loose. They had an absolute blast and ran for hours that day. Jacoby did get his very first bee sting as he was running around barefoot, but he handled it very well after we applied a huge glob of mud to it. Sadly, we didn't get many pictures at the BBQ.
Dominic with baby Avery. She loved the Cheetos.
Riley loved the pools and his diaper got so swollen with water, that we just decided to take it off. He's got the cutest bum.

Riley
On June 8, my baby turned 2! They grow so fast. He's my challenging child, but such a fun boy at the same time. Happy Birthday baby boy! While we were at the BBQ in SLC, we all sang Happy Birthday to both Jeff and Riley. On his actual birthday, we had my mom and my brother and their kids over for cake and ice cream. It was a mellow 2nd birthday, but perfect.

He really didn't like the whole flame on the candle thing...we blew it out for him.
Everybody enjoying their cake and ice cream. It was a fun night! The kids played great with their cousins.
Lastly, we've been doing lots of playing outside this summer. We've got the trampoline, sand box, and a small pool for the boys. They love it in the backyard. Daddy made it even better back there by buying them a power-wheel Jeep. They would drive it around and then get hot and run to the pool and then back again. It will provide hours of entertainment for them.
Notice the tent in the background. On July 4, we had Jacoby's friend Porter and his dad come up and spend the night with us. They watched Logan's fireworks from the trampoline and they the boys all slept in the tent while me and Riley stayed inside. Last night, Dom, Jacoby and Riley all slept out there. They love it!
