1st Day of School

My little boy is growing up. Today is Edward's first day of preschool. He has a bit of a speech delay and so he qualifies for preschool in the public school. I am so excited for him, I know he is going to have a fun time. He was really excited to go to school this morning. He got to wear his new school clothes and shoes.

Here he is all ready for school.

Edward and Camron playing together while waiting for the bus to come.

Is it here?

We decided to wait outside the last few minutes because it was nice and cool outside (which is something that hardly ever happens in the summer).

Once the bus pulled up Edward got scared. It was big and loud. Maybe tomorrow it won't be so scary.

Pictures

We are all doing well in the Burgoyne household. Just thought we'd post a few pictures.

Camron just lounging around.

Edward loves his uncle Josh.

Josh was nice and let Edward attach him with the garden hose.

After all it was pretty HOT outside.

Edward is learning how to take pictures with the camera.
Here is one of him taking a picture of himself.



Edward got a new pair of sunglasses the other day.
He likes to put them on and pose for the camera

Watermelon

Last summer we enjoyed eating watermelon and spitting the seeds on our back porch. At the beginning of this summer, we noticed some watermelon plants growing in our grass. We decided to let them grow and see if we could get any watermelons from them. The watermelon plant has now completely covered the grass in front of our porch and is continuing to grow.

I couldn't get the entire watermelon plant in the picture.

We are now starting to see some watermelons growing. We have two that are thriving and several tiny watermelons that we hope to see get bigger. Here are our two biggest watermelons.

Toilet Paper Bandit

Camron has become our adventurous little boy. He likes to stand up next to anything he can pull himself onto. We have tried to keep our bathroom doors closed afraid that he would discover toilets. Well, he discovered our bathrooms, but has found something more exciting to play with.

He was having such a blast.

Now everytime he sees the bathroom door open, he darts right to the toilet paper. I guess we get to enjoy unrolled toilet paper for awhile.

A New Coat of Paint

We love our house but have never been really happy with the bland flat white paint job. We had talked about moving the boys into the biggest bedroom for a while, and one Saturday we decided we should just do it. So a couple weeks ago we cleaned out what had been the guest bedroom and got ready to paint. These are some before pictures of the bedroom here below.

Kind of ugly, eh?

We went to get paint and looked at various shades of blue. We got a little adventurous at the store and ended up going with a darker shade of blue than we had originally envisioned. We think it turned out great though! What do you think?

With the boys in their new bedroom we also cleaned out Ed's old office and turned it into the playroom. Now that the boys have a room for their toys our living room is much cleaner. We will paint this room too sometime, anyone have any good color scheme ideas?

Edward's Birthday

We celebrated Edward's birthday on Saturday. He is a big three years old. Nicole made him a cake and we had some family over. It was a lot of fun and Edward loved being the center of attention. Edward loves trains so it was a train themed party. Afterwards we all went swiming in the community pool.

Nicole made Edward this train cake. She did an awesome job! Edward thought the cake was pretty neat and especially liked eating all the candy why we decorated it!

Camron was pretty tired after all the excitment and fell asleep in his high chair after eating his birthday animal crackers (since Dad wouldn't let him eat any cake).

Edward got lots of presents and was quite spoiled.

Edward sure loves Thomas the train stuff.

Spring has Sprung

Well it feels like spring is well under way now. Not too much has happened in the Burgoyne family since our last post. Ed is still working at his internships untill he starts his new job in mid June and Nicole and the boys have been keeping busy with the garden and other spring time fun. We should say happy Mothers Day to all you mothers out there. Nicole has been a wonderful wife and mother and we are all lucky to have her.

Happy Mothers Day!!

Our garden has been doing great! You can see how much it has grown by comparing with the pictures in our last post.

The tomatoes have pretty much taken over this side of the garden. The chard has been doing very well also although it is hard to see behind the tomatoes. We had chard twice with dinner this week. It was pretty good!!

The squash have done very well also and have just started blooming!



Nicole got the boys matching shirts at Target. Mom can fix anything!
Camron is crawling everywhere now and can climb up on the couch and anything else he can get ahold of. He sure has been fun to watch these past couple weeks. See the video of him crawling down below.
Edward loves his brother and is having a great time playing with him now that Camron is mobile. They are gonna be big trouble when they get older!

Mom, I want the camera!

Yep, I know I'm cute!

Videos!!!

A few days ago Ed was throwing goldfish into the air and catching them in his mouth. Edward thought this looked like lots of fun and so he gave it a try....

Camron shows off his professional crawling skills.....
