I am the proud father of a 1st grader

Well today was the last day of kindergarten for my big guy. It seems like just yesterday we were taking pics of him walking into school with his backpack on for the first time. Today was their "Kinderfriend Day" which is a mini graduation of kindergarten. They are the class of 2020.

It was also a pretty sad day as well, it was his last day at his current school. This past year Cam has been at an AWESOME school but with budget cuts and dumb people not believing in our kids future (can you tell I am a little bitter) he will be shuffled to a new school next year with 28+ kids in his class. Cam does not do well with change and he truly loves the staff at his current school so it will be a big adjustment for him next year to go into a new school with all new kids and staff.

I am so proud of how he has grown over the last year, you did an awesome job bud. Welcome to 1st grade!

Here is Elvis Ox!

Ox Trot

Our community has started this really cool project to help raise money to keep art in school. What they are doing is making all these Ox and then business are sponsoring them and such. There are 30+ Ox in the community, everyone is really cool. Check them out CLICK HERE :) I am going to make it a goal to get a picture of my kids by everyone of them.

Here is one of my favs so far he is in-front of the Scuba Diving shop here in town. The sun was at a really bad angle so I think we will re-shoot this one but it will be neat to see them all.

What a great weekend

What a great weekend. We spent the weekend out at the campground hanging out. Darc thought it was going to be an ordinary weekend with nothing much going on. Little did she know that I had conspired with her best friend earlier in the week for her to come down from Fargo and hang out with us for the weekend. Anna and I had it all planned out and we did not tell Darc she was coming down. Saturday afternoon she was sitting on the deck when Anna showed up. She was so surprised and excited that she came. It was good for them to get some “girl” time. We even managed to get our first hay ride of the season. The boys were exhausted by the end of the weekend. What a great time.

Sidewalk Chalk

Boy five years ago I would have said "NO WAY" on sidewalk chalk. Now as a dad it is pretty cool. The neighbor girl came over and was playing with the boys and showed them a really cool trick. If you soak the piece of sidewalk chalk in a bucket of water it turns into a paint sort of. It goes on so smooth and thick and the colors are GREAT!

Spring

A sign of spring. As we drove past one of the biggest lakes in MN a few nights ago this boat caught the corner of my eye... What a great thing to see... The water is open and the boats are ready to go.

Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day!

Here are a few of the AWESOME projects the boys made for mom this weekend.

Darcy, you are such a wonderful and amazing woman. I could not imagine a better mom in this world for our two boys. Thank You for everything you do for us!

ALF

Well I had forgotten all about this little guy ALF. I was reading a post on 2peas and Kristined started talking about ALF. I had to run over to Netflix and order the first season. We started to watch ALF on Friday night and boy did our kids think it was funny, I have never seen them laugh so hard. WOW 1986… I can’t believe it was that long ago ALF was produced. I feel really really old. I do have to say it was a lot of fun to watch, it brought back a ton of really cool memories. I can’t wait to get the next few seasons.

I Love Cheetos

Tonight was Manly Monday while mom worked. Usually on Manly Mondays we go to grandmas house and hang for a bit. Tonight grandma was a little tied up so the boys and I decided to swing by the camper and hand out there. We made our self a little picnic lunch and had a good time. Cameron dung into the Cheetos. He loves those things, he kept asking why we can not pack those in his cold lunch for school lol.

3 Days Left....

Until my Biggest Looser challenge is over. I have lost some weight but not like I should have. I really slacked off towards the end but when life gets nuts it is easy to let things slip…
