Dreyton Update

Dreyton has been growing so fast lately, he was 45 lbs and 3'9" on May 9th at his check-up.  He's 95% for height, and 90% for weight.

He is my sweet little boy, and such a morning person.   He wakes up extremely early (most mornings around 6ish)  and says good morning mommy, its a beautiful day! the sun is shining, the birds are singing.   Luckily for me he is very independent in the mornings and is more then content playing on the ipad or going to turn on cartoons and getting a little snack so I don't have to get up then as well.

He has an OBSESSION with video games right now, whether it be on the ipad/iphone/computer/leappad.   I have to continuously get him off of them, or hide them as he is sneaky and will pretend he's playing in the playroom with his toys but really be playing a video game.   He is really good at playing toys by himself, he loves playing cars and army men.
 
He just graduated preschool, and is registered to start kindergarten in the Fall.  I have him starting in Cranston school which will be a little hard for me for a few months driving 3x a day there (until our house is built), but I would rather that, then switching him halfway through the year from another school.

He has been playing soccer this year and been loving it.   He was a little scared of the ball at the beginning, and just wanted to guard the goal.  But now he is more assertive and will kick the ball away from someone.

He is my picky eater (like I was) and says he doesn't like a tonne of foods (even before he tries it) and he refuses to admit he actually likes it when I make him try it either.   His favourite foods right now are orange macaroni (kraft), french fries, and cooked carrots (and any dessert).

Drew came to cheer him on.

For some reason Dreyton won't look at the camera, he'll either face the camera but move his eyes somewhere else, or he'll look at the camera but with his chin down. 

Lee is a CA

I decided to throw Lee a surprise BBQ to celebrate his hard work and MANY hours that took him to become a chartered accountant.

I invited some close family and friends, which came out to be about 60 people.   It was SO fun and not that stressful for me as everyone who had come brought food.

I pretended to Lee I had a bad headache and couldn't come to church, so I stayed home with Tenley.   I then took him and the kids on a bit of a scavenger hunt which occupied him for an hour while people got here and I was able to prepare a bit.  

After church he went to my parents place as I had told him we were having a family dinner there (miraculously my headache had gone away).   He got there and there was a note on the door that told him and the kids to get dressed into some more casual clothes and to look in his pocket for his next clue.

He then was supposed to get his brother Greg who was in town, and there was a note that told him to take Greg to see the lot we just purchased.

He showed Greg the lot and there was a note there that told him to go to sobeys and pick up some ice.  He then was supposed to go to customer service to pick up another note.

The next note told him to go to Dayna's house.  When he got there, Dayna and I had blown up a bunch of balloons that had papers inside that said "home" in a bunch of different languages, and some that were empty.

He then came home and his friends/family surprised him.  (Most of the people parked in the splash park parking lot so he didn't think there were that many people there).

Lee was really surprised and I think he had a fun time visiting.   Everyone pitched in, and Erin's boyfriend James helped out huge by doing all the grilling so Lee could relax and enjoy himself.

I was a bit worried about the weather as it was supposed to rain, but LUCKILY it didn't and kids were able to go in the backyard and play.  I didn't even see Tenley the whole time, she was quite fond of her Great Grandma Sefcik and cuddled with her the majority of the time.

I was a little distracted and didn't take many pictures, but i'll post the ones I was able to quickly take.
