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

Out in the Sun

This is the car, where we spend many hours a day, or so it seems. This is my favorite place at times and the most stressful place at others.  They usually terrorize each other back there with hitting and screaming BUT there are moments when all three are sound asleep......aaaahhhhh

Our picnic at Peace Arch Park

The sun was right in their eyes, so for some reason, I told them to look down and this is what I got....

My boys just don't like to SIT on a swing, they like to hang over on their bellies and pretend to fly like superheroes.

Doesn't this boy always have a mischievous look?  Well, he usually is up to something

Here they are, superman and batman

The drinking fountain was definitely the highlight of this trip for the boys

It was fun to splash and get a little wet

then it became a weapon!!

Passerbys gave us dirty looks, but we were laughing just as hard

They were soaked by the end, but it felt nice on that ONE hot day

Some "junk" car off Robson during one of the Canucks finals game

Jason and I spent a day downtown without the kids.  We saw lots of Canucks fans and saw the game on one of the large screens downtown.

Random group of people....

Watching the first period at the Fairmont (yes, we love this place)

Guess who??

Big bro Carter with Beckett

Big bro Carter with Easton when Easton was 6 months

Carter dressed himself after a bath.  That would be a pair of pants on his head and a shirt around his waist.

Striking a pose??

Beckett in his Canucks shirt during Game 7

By the end of the second period, Beckett was feeling quite sad

By the middle of the third period, well, he just didn't want to watch anymore.
