The boys have settled into their new schools and are doing great. They both have wonderful teachers and I am so thankful for that. I have never seen a kindergarten teacher with so much energy so I know she can handle my Bo. He seems to love it. Buddy has made lots of friends in his class and loves to go to school. 
Last week, we made a trip back to Jackson for a fishing birthday party. The boys had a blast as usual. Here a few pics from the day.
Scarlett's catch
Bo caught the first fish!
Just being silly. Bo wouldn't get in the picture with that boy in the Ole Miss hat.
Loving a caramel apple from the midway
Jumping!
On the last day, we talked the carnival worker into letting Buddy ride the bumper cars. He was too little, but the man was sweet and let him ride. Earlier in the week, they wouldn't let him.
Bumper Cars
Playing Games. We decided next year we would take the boys to Wal Mart and buy them anything they wanted. Our thinking is that it might be cheaper than a week of playing games!
The ONE ride Bo will ride.
Buddy followed Bo and Jake up this climbing ride. Once he got to the swinging bridge, he had a MELT DOWN and would not go across. A sweet lady sent her little girl in to try to get him to go across. No luck. I sent Bo back in and told him to drag him, pull him, or push him across no matter what it took. No luck. I had to go in myself and get him. Let me tell you, this thing was not made for people my size.

The Vineyard and Carter Boys.
Lazy morning in their PJs.
Painting for the Clothes Line Art.
Making ice cream.
Jason finishing the triathlon. 
This was taken by the Braves photographer. I had to force Bo to turn around and smile. 
Playing baseball with a bunch of other kids during the game. 
Playing at the Olympic Centennial Park
Playing at the Georgia Aquarium
The aquarium was wonderful, but this was our first stop in Atlanta. I think he would have had more fun with Buddy. He really didn't know what to do without him. 
Playing at the Children's Museum of Atlanta. 
He loved sampling all of the Cokes at the Coke Museum.
Blowing bubbles at the Fernbank Museum of Natural History. We LOVED this museum. It was beautiful and very interesting. This museum was not downtown but in Druid Hills. After fighting crowds at all of the downtown museums, we thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Friday night, Will had his "graduation" dinner at the University Club. It really was a lot of fun - much more fun than it usually is. I guess that is because this is the LAST dinner we will attend as a resident. I am so proud of Will. After he leaves UMC, he was start his career at the hospital in Starkville. It is a great job and we are so excited to get into the Real World. Not only did Will receive his residency diploma (I guess that's what you call it), he also was recognized as serving this year as Chief Resident. It wouldn't be a real awards ceremony if Will didn't walk away with all of the awards. He received Resident of Year which is voted on by the faculty, Colleague of the Year which is voted on by the residents, and the VA Outstanding Resident award. I am so proud of him! Of course all the residents are wonderful and deserve recognition for their hard work. You know you are in good hands if you ever have to be put to sleep at UMC. 
Now, when I get sad like right now, I have to look at pictures of what the future holds. These are pictures of our lot in Starkville. We just finalized our plans and hope to start building in July. 
Our lot backs up to South Farm with lots of cows and horses. It is beautiful!
This is our lot from the road. 
And my favorite view from the backyard.
