July So Far...

Double fisting it with sandwiches

then he stacked them all to eat!

My sweet bebe

 "Look mom, look how strong I am"

"Wook mom" - Easton hasn't mastered the "L" sound yet so it comes out sounding like "r" or "w"

We spent the day BBQ'ing with friends here at Boulevard Park

Always smiling

Always happy

but once in awhile, he raises his eyebrows and gives this "so not impressed" look

King of the Castle

We took the boys to Zuanich Point to fly kites

Carter thought the kite was cool (it had Batman on it of course)

After about 5 seconds of the kite, the popcorn became the main attraction

We were so busy eating popcorn, we didn't even realize a kite had blown away!!!

3 out of 4 looking at the camera ain't bad (didn't I say the popcorn was the main attraction????)

What a beautiful (but windy) place it was with all the kites in the sky

Having dessert on the deck (one less mess for me to clean up).

but I guess you can't avoid ALL messes with these boys  (sigh....)

It's Summer but it's been no vacation!

Our home-made t-shirt to daddy for Father's Day


It sure has been a crazy summer so far.  The boys have started sharing a room (which means very little sleep for everyone), I've been working alot more (which means grandparents are watching the kids and all rules fly out the window), we are all dealing with horrible allergies, and I've scheduled waaaay too much stuff for the boys thinking we'd be so bored.  Here's a few things we've been up to:

Our summer started off with a "Rookie Sports Camp" where the kids try out a different sport every week.

Playing with buddy, Evan

Group huddle - so cute!

Poor Carter, fell asleep in the middle of writing.

Easton, all grown up

Another afternoon spent passed out after all the morning activies (yeah, quiet(er) time for me)

Another one of Easton's great napping positions

Beckett enjoyed a nice, long quiet bath while the older brothers were asleep

I found a bug in the fridge!!  hhhhmmm, I think Easton was responsible for that one

Playing in the church gym while waiting for Carter at VBS.  This is such an awesome toy.....

Week 2 of Sports Camp:  Tee-Ball

Luckily, Carter inherited Jason's sports ability and not mine LOL

The boys put on a puppet show.  Easton doesn't really understand what that is yet, but he had his own version

Apparently, Green Lantern is now part of the family.  Carter added him to our collection of family photos

We decided to try Carter in Martial Arts.  This is his intro private lesson.  Apart from the "focus" part, he did really well

Aiya!

He had a pretty awesome coach.  Carter started out very timid and scared, but you can see the improvement through the next photos.....

Carter may be the smallest amongst his friends, peers, schoolmate etc but watch out!!

Yes, he broke that board!!!

And earned his white belt

Performing at our first VBS this summer

Who's who???

Carter is racing Easton on his new balance bike.  There was a big collision at the end, but everyone got out ok

Aaaahhh, this is the life
