cheerleading

Last week we decided to go watch Bailey and Riley (cousins) play in their soccer games.  

It was a beautiful day, and it was a lot of fun to go hang out with some of our favorite people.

lucky, lucky me

Mother's Day was pretty low key this year.  I like low key.  

Mother's Day is always a little tricky for me.

We went to church and then down to my parents for a BBQ.  This is the last Mother's Day Mimi will be around for a couple of years, and I didn't take any pictures.  Lame.

Anyway, here's a couple of pictures with my favorite boys.

I am a lucky girl.

let the games begin

Softball season has arrived.  I'm not sure who's more excited about it.

Bosten watching warm ups.

 

Kaden and Dad playing catch before the game.

 

Kaden in the dugout.  He helped hand out jerseys and schedules and ate sunflower seeds during the game.

 

They won their first game!

on my phone

Here's what's been randomly happening around here lately.

I'm in the middle of refinishing another dresser.

We have been BBQing a ton since this first night of burgers.

 

Still painting.  Bosten's room is done and we've moved on to Kaden's room.

 

We've been playing a lot of baseball in the front yard in the evenings.

 

Painted the front door.  

 

We've been working on Bosten writing his name.

family circus

My parents thought it would be nice to have family pictures before they take off to the great down under in a couple of months.  We thought it would be completely crazy, but it actually wasn't too bad.  Here's some of the favorites.

sno-cones shack

My sister came up the long road after school yesterday with the kids.  I didn't tell Kaden or Bosten they were coming, and they were so excited to see them!

They decided to set up a sno-cone shack in the backyard.  I blended some ice in the blender, and the big kids sold to the little kids.  They were so good, that they all had three each!  The big kids were charging a quarter for each one (that's real money...they couldn't just play or pretend), so by the end they were feeling pretty proud.

Yep, they were that good.

 

jumpathon

Kaden participated in the school jumpathon this week.  They've been practicing their skills for a few weeks, in order to get ready for the big day.

An hour is a really long time to jump, even when you have fun music and a good drink for breaks.

But, its a nice break from sitting in class.
