It's Lake Time!

Lake time is back and the first weekend on the water was outstanding. Jamey, Julia, Myles and Ella helped us crack open boating season. The weather was amazing, the water just a bit cold but it didn't stop us for swimming for hours. Day 1, we logged 9 hours on the water. Day 2, just about 7 hours. The kids played hard and ate like kings/pigs. They were bottomless pits! Avery took to the lake like a champ. Ella braved tubing. We scarfed down whitey's chicken. BBQed and fished off a friend's dock. Made smore's. Myles and Logan were glued to their itouches. Stayed up too late with the leopard. So much fun!

Beach Day

Lucas and the kindergarden class had beach day today. There was face painting, crafts, water wars, snacks, bubbles. He had a great time!

Homer

HEMAYJUSTGOALLTHEWAY...HEDOES!HOMERUN,HOMERUN,HOMERUN!

This fierce player scored his first home run last night. Granted an error helped make that happen but we won't get caught up in the details. I think he expected a parade when he got home from Lucas' game. His team keeps losing but Logan is playing so well and having such a good season I don't think he notices or cares, 'cuz he is doing well.

Random bits of our weekend

The first really nice, warm day and we broke out the sprinkler. Logan didn't jump in as he thought it would be too cold. The other B boys had no issues and had good fun.

Then we went to the outdoor mall. Because of the trip Kale needs to write an apology note something like this:

Dear American Eagle,

I am sorry I pulled down the pants on your female mannequin. I am also sorry that I nearly peed my pants with laughter when I did it and but she had undies on...and that's funny. I am also sorry it caused my brothers and the people around me to laugh hysterically. That was not a good decision.

Kale

And finally a Logan Quote said through clenched teeth and tears running down his face:

"Dad told me I need to grow up... well maybe he needs to grow down!"

Logan

Kindly remove that thumb!

Oh, and while your at it...kick that torticollis habit!

So big!

The L's are lighting it up

Logan and Lucas are really lighting it up on the baseball field this year. Logan and the Diamond Backs got their first W last night and Logan went 5 for 5. He had a triple, 2 doubles and a couple of singles. I think the triple could have been a homer but the coach held him at 3rd. Logan played 3rd base and pitcher and was at the top of the batting order. He looked good out there! His confidence is really high and he almost looked aggressive out there! Steve didn't get to see his monster hits as he was coaching Lucas and the cubs. So proud of the boys!

TV Trance

Logan will totally baby sit any time if they can both just watch TV!

Nearly 1K

The B boys and I ran a nearly 1k today. Each of the boys ran the entire "race". Logan ran with the second graders so he went with Meredith and Connor while Lucas, Kale and I ran with the kindergartners. We ran in the rain which was totally awesome per the boys. I was surprised and proud that no one walked. I think we could have all tackled a whole mile. Running club twice a week at school really pays off for the bigger boys. After the race we waited in line to get an autograph from D Mac (that's Darren McFadden of the Raiders for you non Arkansans). They are ready for their next run...well all except Kale. He says the next run, it's Camden's turn. Step up to the plate Camden!

Seat at the table

Guess who is loving a seat at the table??? Thank you Graco for making our high chair a recliner. Little miss loves getting to sit with us while we eat. Not to mention it makes getting things done a lot easier as she can see what's going on. Don't think I haven't thought about pulling the high chair into the living room so she can watch Baby Einstein (pretty sure that will happen soon!).

Kale was too lazy to get out of his seat to join the picture. However, when we want him to stay in his seat it is an impossible feat for him.
