Bryson's Mother's Day Program

The kids were all so cute singing to their mommys today.  It brought tears to my eyes watching my little guy sing his heart out.  I didn't have my video camera but I did snap some pictures and get him to sing when we went back to his classroom.  He had presents for me as well. 

Short Sports

Bryson started Short Sports on Tuesday May 4th.  The first sport was Basketball (pics aren't good since the lighting is so bad) and tonight they learned about Soccer.  He is doing awesome!

Tooth #2 Gone

John Thomas pulled another tooth today at school :)

2 Stripes Down, 1 To Go!

John Thomas earned his second stripe today.  He needs one more (in about 4 weeks), then he'll be able to test for his new belt.  So proud!

Upstate Karate Picnic

We had an awesome day at the Upstate Karate Picnic.  It was held at Cleveland Park which is so nice now that they have all new play equipment!  The event included lots of homemade food and desserts, playing, an egg toss, tug-a-war, three legged race and much more!  I'm already looking forward to next year :)

New state of the art merry go round.  Bryson is pushing all of the big kids.  (John Thomas is on his belly)

Skateboard!

Bryson was giddy about the egg toss

Almost time to throw

Eaglefest Carnival

Tonight, John Thomas' school held their annual Eaglefest Carnival.  There was so much to do-rides, games, silly string, cake walks, sports, etc...  This event raises money for the school.  The weather wasn't great but everyone made the best of it and had a great time. 

I'll keep the pictures to a minimum :)
