Winding Down

 The kids have been very excited about our garden again this year!

Bubba especially loves watering them everyday and seeing how much they've grown!

We planted squash again

and trying out corn this year!

Austin's T-Ball season is coming to an end.

Only 2 more games left!

Heading home!

He LOVES playing! His favorite part is hitting the ball!

As soon as we park the car he's practically running to the field and asks if he can go on the field yet!

Last night he hit the ball way past the bases!!!

I love seeing the smile on his face as he runs the bases and his thumbs up he gives us when he catches a ball and throws it to first base!

Saturday Sun!

After running all our errands Saturday morning I went on a run and Ryanne & Austin rode their bikes next to me as I ran. When we got back the poor kids were dripping in sweat so we decided to bring out the pool and slip n slide!

G joined us when we woke up from his nap!

This boy is so crazy, the first thing he does every time he wakes up is put on a hat!

Ryanne is a PRO on the slip n' slide!

Drying off in the sun and enjoying some snacks!

After 4 long hours in the sun Ryanne had enough!

Pretending to be asleep with me and Bubba

Artist

 On Friday Ryanne came home from school with a couple surprises!

First, a questionnaire she filled out about me!

Here were my favorite answers!!

Second, her GIANT art portfolio!

I am AMAZED by the talent this girl has!!

Check out a few of her projects...

Play Time

 When Ryanne is at school me and the boys try to find every way possible to make the time go by fast!

Whether it's throwing the football...

...riding bikes...

...or splashing in the pool!

whoa!

boy's got mad hops ;)

Absolute Awesomeness

Everytime Austin writes his name he gets really frustrated with the 'S; and most of the time he just skips it and writes his name "Autin" haha

So the other day he let me sit down with him and help him out with it. After a couple tries he became a pro at writing "S's"!! He kept writing them over and over and over again!

He wrote this "S" and said

"Mom, isn't this the BEST 'S' you have ever seen?!!!"

It sure is Bubs!

Ryanne wrote this in church on Sunday!

So dang cute!

It's Teacher Appreciation week this week!

Ryanne drew a picture of herself with a note on the back telling her teacher how great she is!

Ryanne has been having so much fun picking out gifts for her teacher for each day this week!

Gavin thought it was HIS t-ball game last night!

SO CUTE!

As soon as we got to the field he grabbed Bubba's bat, put on his glove, then turned around and asked me for a ball!

Missing Daddy

 Sheldon left town for a few days and we missed him A LOT!

We sent him pictures every day so he wouldn't forget us ;)

After the first day of being gone Austin told me

"Daddy has been gone for a looooooong time"

hahaha poor kid didn't realize that Daddy would be gone for

5 days!

Daddy came home last night and he surprised the kids showing up at the baseball fields just minutes before Austin's game started!!

They were ALL so excited to see him! They ran to him yelling

"DADDY DADDY DADDY!"

as if they haven't seen him in years!

He sure is loved!!!

We are glad to have him home!
