Buckets of Fun

What more can I say?  You gotta beat the heat somehow!

    

Hunter's Pile of "Airplanes"

When Alex was in his paper airplane kick, Hunter couldn't resist joining in on the fun and making these "paper airplanes" as well. It's really just a big pile of crumpled up computer paper, but no one needs to tell him that!

More Singing in the Car

Hunter's Favorite Song

This is Hunter's "go-to" song when you ask him to sing something.  I love it!

Last Day of 1st Grade

Someone looks excited that it's summer!!!!

Give Me That Filet of Fish

Check out these dance moves....he definitely gets his technique from Mommy!

Thanks to YiaYia and Fonder for the singing fish....although incredibly annoying, both boys LOVE it!!!

Does Anyone Recognize These Boys?

We went to dinner tonight at a Japanese Steakhouse with some friends. Along the way we came across these two unusual looking boys. I have no idea who they are. They sure do look funny though!
The middle one looks a little like Mr. Potato Head!

Last Game

Today was the last game of the spring season of soccer.  Alex was on team Yellow Jackets again with Coach Brad.  He is getting better and better at soccer and always plays with such intensity!  This season he really proved to be great at defense and would love to be goalie (at this age they don't have a designated goalie - everyone kind of just plays all positions).

Alex is looking forward to the fall season and we're looking forward to seeing how much more he will improve his game.

So serious!

Coach Brad says that he thinks Alex has the best ball control of the team!

Playing hard even when he's down!

Afternoon Visitor

While waiting for Hunter's bus to arrive on Friday afternoon, I found this turtle just as he was entering our garage. Of course I had to keep him to show the boys! Hunter thought he was neat but didn't really want to touch him. Alex thought he was so cool and couldn't stop touching him, hanging him upside down, poking him, and otherwise tormenting the turtle (he wasn't trying to be mean, just curious!). Lots of neighborhood kids also came to see "Sammy" and after a while we brought him to a neighbor's house and they were going to look at it for a while and then let it go in the creek.
I love when unexpected things like this happen!

Airplane much?

Do you think he likes making paper airplanes??? Maybe just a little....

Mountains of Misery

Frank came in 2nd place at the Mountains of Misery ride!!!!  It was an INCREDIBLY difficult 100 mile ride, mostly uphill.  We were so proud when we saw him come around the bend only minutes behind the first rider.  Amazing!

Great job, Frank!  Under 6 hours!!!

Dinner with Friends

All the kids.

All the adults.

All the crazy moms who wanted to prove that we can do back-bends just as well as the little girls. Two of us forgot we were wearing skirts though and all the kids got a good laugh out of seeing our underwear.
