YAY!!! Kelan graduated from his "kindergarten" program and is ready for the big-time, real kindergarten at Carolina Beach Elementary School in the fall. His graduation ceremony was fantastic... Looking forward to a fun-filled summer :)

Okay, so I've been busy. I have so poorly neglected this blogspot, and my camera for that matter...instead doing things like "work" and "singlehandedly wrangling these three boys since Craig was gone for the first quarter of 2012". Recently for "work" I dug out the ol' trusty Canon Rebel xTi to take some pictures of a Ferrari I'm selling for my boss, and then Kelan turned into a ham (much to my surprise and amazement given his previous relationship with the camera). Enjoy, and if you are in the market, it's a reasonably priced $134, 488, with just 15,000 miles, and meticulously maintained.

Here's what happens when Kai tells the boys to "look tough".

Here they take turns beating each other up. All in good fun, of course.

Oh, the goofiness.

See what I mean about the ham-ness? Keep looking...it get's even better.

Peek-a-boo.

Credit goes to Kai for these last few pictures. Quite an eye if I do say so myself.

What a handsome 5-and-almost-a-half-year-old.

More to come. I promise.

Kai smiles beautifully.

I'll take it!!

Sweet silliness...

Pumpkin Carvin

See, look, I finally got the real camera out of hiding and now we are gonna have regular updates again. For real.

We were gonna do some pumpkin carvin (that's what we call it now that we are southerners). Kelan was pretty excited.

See? You can't look that far sideways unless you are really excited.

EWWW!!!

Slimy work.

Who decided this was fun?

Dad and Jak getting into it. We'll post some "finished" photos soon.

Pumpkin Patch!!

Kelan loves the baby pumpkins....

...and Kai, well, he likes the big ones.

Jak is a fan of all pumpkins.

What naturally follows the Pumpkin Patch? Why, the beach, of course!!

We LOVE the beach right now. It's not busy anymore, which is so awesome- Yesterday was a little chilly, but we managed to make the most of it!

Kelan nearly doing a faceplant because his little legs can go way faster than they should.

K-Man representing Crossfit Carolina Beach. He said when he grows up he's going to Crossfit to be a super-hero. That's my boy.

Kelan loves mommy.

We had some serious dancing by the water...

Kai replicating a photo from like two years ago that I have yet to dig up for comparison.

A rare photo of C-Money.

RUN JAK RUN!!!
