This afternoon we dropped off big brother for summer camp. Last year he got to go for three days and this year he is going for six days. UGH! I know my boys are growing up and will soon (before I know it) moving out and on with their lives but with each year’s mile stone that reality becomes harder…
We are so fortunate where we live to have some really cool parks within a five-mile radius of our home. One of the places that we like to frequent is a splash pad… although I am not sure if that is what it is really called. It is a very unassuming grate and in the center water sprays out. Often…
In 2008 hubby bought our oldest son a Strider bike and I was a little upset at the price tag. Over the years I have come to realize that the up front price tag is nothing! This weekend little brother decided that he wanted to ride a pedal bike and so he did. There was no running behind him up…
Today my oldest two left on a jet plane for San Diego for Papa and Gigi summer camp for two weeks, well – 12 days. You may all gasp with me… I let my babies get on a plane and fly to another state for two whole weeks. I can barely believe it myself. Yes, there are days that the…
For big and middle brother’s birthdays my parents bought us a day to a local amusement park. Heritage Square is located just down the street from where we live and I have never taken the boys. Today I took the boys with one of my friends, her daughter and husband. The boys had swim lessons this morning and then we…
This picture of big brother is so much more than a picture of my son, it represents my son devouring a book at the age of seven. I was never good at reading, I honestly hated reading for a long time, it took me so long to read a page and then I would not have actually understood what I…
All three brothers started swim lessons today. Big brother sees it as means to getting him to swim team sooner. Middle brother likes swim lessons however he has mentioned that he really rather do the swim team practices that we did this spring, I am not sure what it is about those that he likes better – however middle brother…
Sometimes you have to just let them dance in the rain. I have been busy this week with vacation bible school and by the time we get home in the afternoon I am so tired and worn out that I just want to sit and vedge out. An afternoon rain storm had me get the older two boys out of…
Big brother went out for swim team. Unfortunately he was not able to make the cut. Big brother was determined and rather heart broken over being cut but he took it in stride and told me that he was going to work really hard and was going to try and make swim team in the fall. That’s my boy! Nothing…
During the summer we are hopping from the pool to water park to regular park. I think that between the water and the sun my boys grow like weeds. Summer time is for fun and oh boy are we having it. We are only in the first week of summer and the boys have been running from sun up to…
