The Colorado cousins are all coming in June as well, so we'll get to spend a few days with them before they head back home. It'll be fun to have the Smith cousins to play with for a change!
Tanner is fully registered for Kindergarten. I took him to his screening a few weeks ago and he managed to do well on the tasks he was given to complete. He's looking forward to going to "College" as he calls it. If you ask him if he's going to school, he's quick to tell you no, that he's going to go to college. That kid!
Spencer has to have his adenoids and tonsils removed due to his snoring and sleep apnea. He'll get those taken out later in June. I'm sure he won't mind one bit being able to eat more ice cream than he's usually allowed. 
Bennett is our silly Bennett. He's a major pacifier-snatcher. Anytime he can get a-hold of one of Wyatt's pacifiers he's in heaven. We even find him asleep with Wyatt in his crib just so that he can get one of them. He's a sneaky one that one! His legs seem to be slowly straightening out from being so massively bowed. His right foot is still turned in quite a bit, but the doctors told me that his legs and hips won't fully straighten until he's around 8 years old. He manages to trip more than the other boys, but he adjusts well.
Wyatt is walking everywhere and trying to climb on everything. He can climb up on the couch now and he's constantly falling off. He's had some trouble with allergies this spring. He's just like his momma in that department. The doctors figure he has asthma, so we have to do breathing treatments every morning and evening. He also has to take Claritin to combat the effects of his allergies. Poor kid!
Nick's hard at work to keep our garden going strong. He's planted a good variety, but I think next year he will plant more practical items. Less potatoes and onions, and more tomatoes and beans. He's doing extremely well at work. Nick plans to start working on converting part of our detached garage into a fully-functioning apartment. The second floor of the garage is already set up for one, but we're going to take part of the "garage" section and make it into a bedroom. He's really looking forward to building and using his hands!
The life of a stay-at-home mom has really been hard for me these last few months. I've been so incredibly busy that I'm not sure what end is up most days. I'm hoping that this summer will be a low-key summer, as far as the kids go. I doubt it, but we'll see. I'm entering a new realm in my life having Tanner start school in August. I keep thinking it's still far off, but it really isn't. We'll get there when we get there and in the mean time, we're going to enjoy the summer! I turned 30 this month. Here's what I have to say about that, Bring it on!!!!
