Fun Run

The boys participated in a Fun Run at school this year. They all did great, and raised $18 each for the PTA.

Mayor's Cup

Alex joined a comp soccer team this year, and is having a great time.  He has a great coach, and some talented little guys on his team.  He gets really nervous before every game, but it's getting easier and easier.

These boys won first place in the Mayor's Cup, U9, Premier division!  So proud of their hard work!

Cool Runnings

Just watching Cool Runnings, bobsled style...

My babies

I just love having one-on-one time with these two little boys. I've never been at home with just two kids, and I absolutely love it!  I went from working full-time, to being home with 3 kids, ages 2 and under.  So, to have this time with these cuties has been such a wonderful blessing. I wish I could freeze time and have all my kids stay right where they are.  This is the perfect stage!  Just LOVE them!!

Yep, they match

They match, and they love it!  In fact, according to them, I don't have enough matching clothes... I wonder how long that will last?

First Day of School 2013

Crazy Miles...

Yes, he STILL takes a bottle.  And yes, sometimes it's while he's in the bathtub.

AJ's 1st Lost Tooth!

AJ lost his first tooth while we were on vacation in Oregon.  The tooth fairy came once there, and brought more when we got home!  Lucky guy!

Road Trip

This is how our road trips roll...  ahhh!

Jackson's 1st lost tooth

Jackson lost his first tooth today.  Only 20 more to go!  Yep, he has an extra tooth!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Miles!

Happy Birthday, Mark

Happy 43rd!  Ya can't blow out your candles alone anymore... Which I guess is good since you're gettin' so old! :)

Our bike wash!

So, I finally made something from one of the pins that I had on Pinterest.  It was a bike wash, and the kids loved it!  We have quite the elaborate schedule for summer:
Monday - Make it Monday
Tuesday - Take a trip Tuesday
Wednesday - Wet Wednesday
Thursday - Theater Thursday
Friday - Friends Friday

We ended up swapping Tue and Thu, because the local theater's children's special is on Tuesdays, but it worked out well!  It gives the boys a nice schedule and gives mom an idea of what to do with the kids that day.  Of course, with an infant and a toddler taking naps, we still have plenty of down-time.

First Swim of the Summer

Thanks, Gma and Gpa C for letting us swim at your house!  We love it!

Good Job, Alex

Alex was the only kid in his class who was chosen for the Citizenship Award.  He totally deserved it!  What a great kid!

Summertime!

We can't wait for summer!!

The twins are 6!

These guys had a fun birthday!  We rented a bounce house, and had a fun party with lots of little friends. (As soon as I can find those pictures, I'll add them!)  Happy 6th Birthday!

It's Great to Be 8!

Such a precious kid, and such a special day.  I can't believe my boy is 8 years old!  It truly was a perfect baptism day.  The spirit was so strong, and everything was so peaceful at our house that day (which is rare, with 5 boys!).  Alex is an amazing, mature, spiritual kid, and wise far beyond his 8 years.  I just love him!
