James got invited to two birthday parties on the same Saturday, so we had a non-stop party filled day! His favorite part of going to his friend Kylie's house was playing on her trampoline. It had a homemade sprinkler attached to it and he loved it. We have been thinking about getting one for our house, but this kind of clinched it for me. I actually ordered one as a summer surprise!
The two birthday parties were for two girls, and James insisted on getting them birthstone necklaces. (He has been really into gems and birthstones lately). Kylie loved hers and her mom told me that she woke up the next morning and it was the first thing she put on.
The next party was a country themed party complete with a petting zoo, pony rides, and a bouncy house! I'm so glad my kids get invited to these kind of parties because I can guarantee I will never throw one like that for them :)
One of the birthday parties gave out homemade slime as favors and Rett took his and promptly put it in his hair! Since one of the main ingredients was glue, he earned him self a super short haircut. He cried during the entire haircut, but afterwards he was fine and said that he felt handsome.
During one of our bee inspections, we noticed that the bees started building honeycomb and honey in the space between the frame and the cover to the hive. So we scraped it all off and put it in a jar and got ourselves some of our very own honey!
Our first honey harvest!
I grabbed some peanut butter out of the pantry to make myself a sandwich and opened it up to find this! Anthony forgot to throw it away and I guess just put it back. Evil!
My sister surprised us with this random gift from amazon. The kids love it and Anthony hates it! LOL!
One of Anthony's friends caught a frog fish off of his mother's dock and didn't know what to do with it. It was so cool, he didn't want to just throw it back so he offered it to Anthony. Do you think Anthony would ever say no to something like that??
Since he eats other fish, we have been going to catch small minnows from the inter coastal every few days. Anthony got a video of him eating a fish. It is pretty cool to watch!

Doing some snake holding:
James had his end of the year awards ceremony and I got the perfect seat right on the end in front of his row. He mostly made mad/crazy faces at me the entire time.
This is their song and dance that they prepared for the ceremony. The person next to them was their partner for the dance part of the song and they took turns being each other's "puppet master". His friend Kylie was so excited that James was his puppet master (according to her mom). James never once mentioned anything about it. Boys!!
Getting his yearly awards:
I don't know how, but for the second year in a row he got a specials award! Each specials teacher gives one or two awards for the entire grade. Last year he got the Yoga award and this year he got the Music award. Sometimes they just call their names up, but this time the teacher had a few things to say about James. She wrote on the award (and said) "James is a young man that comes into music with a smile and a fabulous attitude. He sets a fine example for all his classmates and learns the materials quickly and thoroughly". When she started talking and said, "James" I starting thinking "wait, is there another James in his grade?" but sure enough it was for him!
Climbing trees:
Snuggling our horse/dog. He is getting so big!! I can't believe he is going to be more than double this size by next year!
