Hats off to you Grayson!! We are proud of you!

Grayson has graduated from preschool. His last week at Fishers United Methodist Preschool and Mother's Day Out was last week. We have been going there for the last four years. Grayson began there as a 'Bunny' and now departs as a 'Senior'. He is ready to enter kindergarten! The ceremony for his graduation was wonderful. Each Senior class sang 4-5 songs. Mrs. Johnston's class was the loudest, that is the class Grayson was in this past year. He was a 'Lady Bug'. I got lots of great video of him and his class mates singing. They also had a cute slide show and at the very end, all the classes walked in together with their caps on to, "Pomp and Circumstance'. After all the classes got up on stage, they each had a small flash light and sang together, 'This Little Light of Mine', adorable. We all had so much fun. Before Graduation, Grandpa and Grandma came over and Aunt Sarah for some cake from Taylor's. Surprisingly, I did not cry at all! I thought for certain I would but it was all so cute and entertaining, we all just laughed.

Rogan will not attend 'Mother's Day Out' this fall but will go the following year. With big brother beginning kindergarten, we figure that's enough big change for one year. We are so excited for the YMCA out door pool to open. That is on our list of things to do this weekend! We are also looking forward to going to the beach a lot this summer. There is one located very close to us that we plan on making many trips to, hopefully this Sunday. Grayson is also playing baseball this month and is loving it as are all of us. He is our little sports man. We are his number one fans as are Grandpa and Grandma Lyons. Grayson is doing well at catching, and hitting the ball. Rogan enjoys watching his brother and yelling for him!

Rogan has just as much energy as ever. He loves bike rides and playing outside just about every day, when weather permits. He still talks about Mickey a lot and will ready to return next year. He has become The 'Captain of Nakedness'. He is into taking off all his clothes these days and thinks it is all too funny. He especially likes to get naked and run around in his cowboy boots. He loves the library also. We are also looking forward to Summer Reading at the library which starts June 1st. We do it every summer and it's so much fun. We have also made a trip to Conner Prairie. We went for the civil war reenactment, very exciting. We have a membership there and enjoy it as much as we love our Children's Museum membership. Conner Prairie has so many neat adventures for the boys!It's going to be a hot one the next few days and we can't wait. Marc's birthday celebration is next weekend which is a surprise to him. We will be having yummy cake so the boys will love it also. Next weekend we plan on going to PBS Kids in the park. It is a fun event where the kids get to meet and greet with their favorite characters from all the PBS shows. It's so fun, we love going each year. A few weeks ago, I went with one of my oldest and dearest friends, Kim Forrest ( as pictured in the photo above with the boys) to the Jason Aldean concert. It was nice to have an a mommy night out. We look forward to a fun filled summer with lots to share with all of you about our every changing busy boys!

More Magic Memories At Disney!!!!

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E!!!! Our Disney Trip

Where to begin. We had a wonderful vacation! We stayed at Saratoga Springs in a tree house in the wooded area on property. We were about a mile from the main lobby and resort. When we arrived at the resort, Disney made it just as magical as they always do. They greeted us outside the Disney bus with lost of Mickey stickers for the boys. In the lobby, the boys were given Mickey balloons and pirate hats! If you look closely into the carpet, you can find little Mickey ears. Nothing but the best. We took a golf cart up to our tree house!! It was amazing! The boys got to sleep in a bunk bed all week. We were right on the lake so we took lots of boat rides to the different pools and to Down Town Disney.

Our first day there, we hung out around the pool and recovered from the flight and may I say, the boys did great on the flight. Rogan did even better than when we flew last year to Disney. I was proud of them. The next day we played at the pool and then headed over to Down Town Disney for dinner and ate at the T Rex restaurant!! Fun!! Fun!! On Monday we had breakfast with 'Chef Mickey' and all his friend's located at The Contemporary another Disney resort that has the monorail going through it. Rogan was so excited to meet Mickey again. He was yelling out for Mickey in his high pitch voice and shaking all over! It was so cute! We had yummy Mickey waffles along with our over the top breakfast.Grandpa and Grandma got a cup cake from Mickey to celebrate their anniversary. Grayson is an old pro at the character breakfast but he was just as excited. After breakfast, we headed over to The Magic Kingdom!!!! We rode the monorail and oh the excitement and anticipation of getting there! Grayson got a hair cut at The Magic Kingdom. There is a barber shop right inside the doors. How exciting, to have a hair cut at Disney World!! We had so much fun!!! Grayson is tall for his age so he rode just about every thing!!! He even rode Space Mountain 2xs! Wow Rogan liked the magic carpet ride and actually slept during my favorite ride, "It's a Small World." Rogan was ready to leave around 2:00 so we headed out and went back to the tree house and went swimming. Grayson and Marc stayed until night time and saw the Electric Light Parade, another one of my favorites!! The boys got lots of autographs to add to their books. We also got them started on the collectors pens! They are so neat, you can trade them also with any cast members. The boys have such neat pens. Grandpa and Grandma got them quite a lot also.

Tuesday, Marc and Grayson went to Universal Studios. Grayson was so excited to meet all his Super Heroes! Him and Marc had a wonderful time. Grayson rode ALL the rides there also. He has become an experienced roller coaster guy now! Rogan and I hung out with Grandpa and Grandma all day, playing at the pool and taking lots of boat rides along the river. Rogan loved the boat rides. We also made our way to Holly Wood Studios which was a perfect day. The weather was great while we were there, not too hot! Grayson and Marc did the 'Tower of Terry' as Grayson calls it. Grandpa and Marc rode the 'Rocken Roller Coaster'. We also had a wonderful Italian lunch while at Holly Wood Studios.

One of the evenings Grandpa and Grandma went out to celebrate their 32nd anniversary...yea!!! and they went to Epcot for the day. We took the boys to Rain Forest Cafe and then to Goofy's Treats for some yummy cup cakes! Grayson made out at the Lego store while we were at Disney. I even got a special painting for Mother's Day of the boys hand prints that were made into pirate ships. We also got one for Grandma! It is the neatest thing!!

Well, we are back and trying to get back into the swing of things. For those of you that have been to Disney, you know that once you return form Disney, you need a vacation from that vacation because you are in fast speed the entire time your there because you don't want to miss a thing!! We had such a magical time and can't wait to return again. It was so nice waking up in a tree house . Grandpa and Grandma got to wake up to the sounds of pitter patter feet all over the place and laughing and screaming, along with my breakfast buffet! We all had so much fun together. We are so glad we were able to make such wonderful memories with Grandpa and Grandma and as a family. My boys love Disney and Mickey Mouse!!! I think Marc and I get just as excited!
