Happy Birthday!

We may have to sit in the rain watching a bunch of little boys playing baseball tonight, but I'm sure we'll have fun. I'll hold the umbrella for you and even buy you some salty popcorn and a coke to celebrate. Cause I loooooove you mama!

Rainy Summer Day

On a rainy Sunday summer day my boys sleep in, have cinnamon rolls and chocolate milk for breakfast then dress up in multiple layers of clothing and shoot each other with nerf guns.
Why?
Because they can.
Lined up in the hallway, dressed in sweatpants, shorts, sweatshirts, jackets, a face mask from a G.I. Joe costume and a toy hockey puck for a "cup," they shot each other over and over.
Different nerf guns, different bullets, different squeals of fun filled our house this morning.
Next we're off to the book store to fill our minds with stories of super heroes saving the world.

Fun in the sun with their best buddy

Nothing beats a hot day like playing in the water with your best four legged buddy. Next on today's list is hitting the local ice cream shop.

Summer is finally here!

These two goofballs are ready for some summer fun. They've got all sorts of plans for this summer. Riding bikes, playing tennis and baseball, canoeing, hiking, amusement parks, fairs, swimming, catching the ice cream truck and sleeping in. Our library has a summer reading program and this year is all about science, so they are really excited about that too. 

They finished the school year with wonderful report cards. Nathan got all A's and one B+. Next year he will be taking all advanced class and he gets to start band. He has plan of continuing with Jiu Jitsu but also trying cross county and track/field. He's going to be one busy 6th grader!
Brandon finish 1st grade strong as well. He's at a 3rd grade reading level and got all advanced marks in all areas. I've got two smart little men! I'm a little proud, if you couldn't tell. :)

Lucky and Confused

One of my boys is very lucky. 

The other one can't decide who he wants to be.

Three Stripes

Look who ranked up! Nathan is now the proud owner of not one, not two but three black stripes on his belt. Don't ask me what those stripes officially mean 'cause I have no clue. But they mean the world to Nathan and that smile on his face is priceless to his dad and me.

We're still here

We have been super busy lately. We have either baseball or jiu jitsu every single night during the week and some weekends. School is wrapping up so there have been lots of test and assessments. Nathan has decided to join band next year so we have to get ready for that as well as get him signed up for the advanced academic classes. I can't believe my little man will be in the 6th grade next year.
He's still a goofball though. I don't think that will ever change.

Brandon is really enjoying baseball. He had a game last night in the freezing pouring rain and he still managed to have a  huge smile plastered to his face. He also got his first hit of the season! It was super exciting!! I jumped and screamed and just about cried I was so happy. It was pretty freaking awesome!
