summer fun

This is our new golf cart that Papa got for us. We took the boys to the neighbors birthday party on it. Then we parked it in the shed at the Country Club so that Ashley can take it golfing.

Sam is a wonderful swimmer. He can hold his breath for so long that it kinda scares me. He loves to snorkle all the way across the pool. Gus is becoming such a little man with his big vocabulary and imagination. His favorite things are power rangers, and star wars. Gus is always either wearing a sock or a power ranger glove on his right hand. He knows just when to give me a hug! He is so sensitive and thoughtful. At dinner time Gus says our first blessing which is "God is great" and Sam follows with his spontaneous blessing which goes something like this... "Thank you for the world, the beautiful animals, my brothers, my mom, my dad, my grandparents, this whole world, the birds and Jesus in his Christ... Amen" Doesn't that just melt your heart?

I can't believe my baby is two years old! Oh, how time flies. Pretty soon I won't be able to put him these adorable smocked outfits. I know Ashley can't wait for that day to come! We have been busy this summer. The boys have been going swimming at The Club, Sam has had basketball camp, and a reading seminar, and Gus has school Tues. and Thurs. The library has also been keeping us busy with their cute program they have for the boys once a week. Sam checked out some first grade books and has been reading wonderfully. We can't wait for our two beach trips in July, and for Granny and Grandpa and Susan to visit. I am so thankful to have healthy, wonderful boys, and a wonderful husband. Happy Father's Day, Ashley! We spent father's day weekend with Mimi and Papa which included golf, swimming, lots of good food and family time. Happy

Father's Day to you, Dad! We miss you and hope you come and visit us soon.

Gussy and Maxy

I love them to match!  Big brother Sam is resting in his bunk bed while he is recovering from a sinus infection and ear infection.  Maybe tomorrow he will be better, and we can go to the pool. Thank you Burgin for the cute T's and Aunt Cindy for the adorable check shorts!

Gus and t-ball

Gus had his first t-ball game at the YMCA Saturday morning at 9am.  He is on the Butler County Bank Team(yellow team).  Now we have two little ballplayers!  Yeah!!!  

wild boys

The boys had the best time playing in the yard today.  They have had a BIG day!  This morning was the Easter egg hunt at our church, and then Sam played with his birthday presents, and even shared some toys with Gus.  I love these pictures.  They capture them perfectly.

My littlest one

I finally got Ashley to take a few pictures of the baby, so here they are!  He is my little sweet pea.  He loves to rub my arm to go night night and gives us lots of sweet kisses and hugs. Sam and Gus sure love their baby brother.  

Sam is six

Sam is officially six!  He is so smart and we are proud of the little boy he is.  This first picture of him is now, the next one he is around nine months, and the other tball pictures are from when he was three years old.  He had a movie theater party with his friends from his class last Wednesday night and they went to see Monsters vs. Aliens.  It was quite an experience.  The boys loved it. It seems like yesterday he was first playing tball at the Y.  Sam wants everyone to know that he has been drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays.  His baseball season starts next week.  Go Sam!!!!
