Growing Boys

Two of Daddy's little helpers in the garden.

Time to water.

My littler helper with grass mowing.

Lucas wanted to watch the rain from the shed one day :)

Adam loves this coozi because it has his name on it!

Brother's story time

Lucas wanted to make his cousins a crucifix like the one hanging in his room

Just some head shots of the boys :)

School is out!!!

School is out for the summer (well a month ago by now ;) )

 This was Lucas' first year to take a standardized test and he rocked it! He scored overall in the 98th percentile.  We couldn't be more proud of all he has learned this year. 

 This guy's specialty is to soak up all of your information when you think he isn't paying attention :) 

Well Caleb will be repeating his toddler-ness next year as a 3 year old.  Here's hoping for a little bit more independent play :)

All three boys had a great school year.  They were deeply saddened when Co-op was cancelled for the year and miss all of their friends.  Here's hoping we can get back to it in the Fall! Here we come 2nd, PreK/K, and 3 year old school!

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all the mamas out there!  We hope you all got to enjoy your day :)

 The boys worked hard to make all the special moms in their lives some handprint flowers this year :)

 Happy Mother's Day!

 Keeping space and seeing my mom.

 They did their very best to do nice things for me all day.  I sure am lucky.

Puzzle Mania

Ben's cousin, David, is an artist who lives in GA.  One of his pieces was turned into a puzzle.  So starting with Ben's grandma completing this 1,000 piece puzzle it is getting passed around to all family members to build it and then sign/date the box.  All three boys had a lot of fun "helping" out.

Sorting out the edge pieces

 Got to get to work!

We did it!!

Older Pictures

Here are some older pictures of how we have been keeping "busy".

Some outside walks at the park to get us out of the house!

 Could he be any sweeter?

 Lucas drew a jumping kangaroo for his cousin, Quinn.

 Daddy is the best

 Starting some seeds for the garden.

 "Band Time"

 A robin made a nest on our front porch light again this year. 

 Adam has been working on his drawing lately

 Snack time in their playhouse.

 These troopers made it 8.25 miles on the bike trail.  Lucas was on his own two wheeled bike, Adam rode on the tandem one attached to mine and Ben pulled Caleb in the trailer :)  You could be how tired they were that night!
