Will is 2!!!

I had my camera at my side all day trying to get some pictures of my now 2 year old! For his birthday we invited over the grandparents and Aunt Cyndi for a small celebration.  His big birthday party will be in July when we celebrate big sister's birthday too!

I think you can see parts of his personality in each of these pictures

Present time!

Grandma and Grandpa Abbott got him a tricycle

Grandma and Grandpa Fox also got him a tricycle.  Great minds think alike!

This little drum set from Mommy and Daddy is a "hit"

Birthday cupcakes

Attempting to get a family picture of everyone outside was more difficult than it should have been

Birthday love with my love!

Spring Soccer

Cara played her second season of soccer!  She had a great group of coaches who were encouraging and really tried to get her as involved as possible.  

 Her team called themselves the dragons!

Cara got to be team captain a couple of times!  They had a great season and only lost one game!  We had to go right from soccer to softball or vice versa multiple weeks and Cara was a trooper playing back to back.  Will was also quite a trooper being shuttled from one ball park to another.  Grandma and Grandpa Fox bought him a bag of toys (cars, trucks, bucket, shovels) to keep in the car so we always had something for him to play with.

Last Day of 2nd Grade!

 Wow, how is it possible that another school year has come and gone!  Here she is wearing the same outfit on the first and last days of school!

Dad and Will being silly telling Cara goodbye.  Will had to wear a hat just like Daddy was as we walked out the door!

Field Trip to the Children's Museum

We got the opportunity to chaperone Cara's class field trip to the Children's Museum the last week of school.  Scott was already on summer break.

What a fun day we had with her and her friends!  So glad we get to enjoy these things together!

Don't Be Sad

Most pathetic face ever!  Someone was not happy!

Last Soccer Game of the Season

Last soccer game of the season.  Another fun year coached by Coach BJ!

Fun Days

Just a little boy trying to be just like his big sister

Trimming the tree and Will loved helping move the cut limbs into a pile to burn

What to do on a hot afternoon, head to the pool!  Loved this picture of Cara jumping in!

Will loved the temperature of the baby pool but the excitement of the big pool

Memorial Day Weekend

 We headed to Camp Abbott for Memorial Day weekend after Cara's soccer game on Saturday.  What a gorgeous weekend for swimming and fishing.  We also enjoyed watching the Indy 500 live since it is blocked out locally.

Both my kids are like little fishes and can't get enough of the water so it was great letting them swim their little hearts out.  Plus made for 2 very tired and sleepy ones!

Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Abbott for hosting us for a fun time at Camp Abbott.  Look forward to more times this summer!

Our MVP

Cara was chosen to be her class MVP Student for the 4th quarter!  She was presented a certificate and pin! 

We are so proud of you Cara! You are so grown up!

23 Months

Happy 23 Months Old to William!  Can't believe that next month we will be celebrating his 2nd birthday because it does not seem possible that he is that old yet!

Softball!

Cara decided to give softball a shot this spring.  She is having fun trying something new and it is fun to cheer her on with whatever she is doing.  She is also playing spring soccer so our schedules have been a bit crazy but we are just enjoying these times!
