We decided to do the slip n slide again this year for their party, and although a little rain threatened our parade, it actually was only short-lived and coooled things down just enough for everyone to be very comfortable! So the kids spent a cloudy afternoon lathering up with baby shampoo and hurling themselves down a huge wet tarp, lol. We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for our feast and enjoyed the company of all our friends and family, as usual. I've put together a slideshow of pictures to share of their fun day. :-)

1st Day of School - 2010
(August 4, 2010)
Well, another one off! Grant got to experience his first day of Kindergarten alongside big brother on his first day of 1st grade! Grant was super pumped about being back in school and had been asking since the last day of preschool, "When do I go to Kindergarten?" Clayton was excited, too, and was all set to fulfill his big brotherly role in his instruction about "what to do at school." And for those of you who know Clayton, you know that going over instructions and procedures is his element! LOL!! I shed a tear for my little Grant as he climbed aboard that bus. Milestones...
My camera was in the shop so I had to take these with my cell phone, but not bad for a cell phone!

End of Season Tball
(August 1, 2010)
Evan finsihed up his 2nd year of tball this past spring and recently received his trophy! He enjoyed a great season and I can't wait to see him grow (even physically, lol) in one of my favorite sports!

Boy, are the years going by! My angel of all babies who didn't have any terrible two's... let's just say 3 made up for all of it! I can literally wipe the sweat from my brow and say "Phew, I'm glad you're 4 now!" You proved over the last year what a SNEAKY little fella you can be and you constantly kept me on my toes (and blood pressure medication!). You are certainly full of life and ENERGY, but it is such a happy and positive force in our lives. Your smile still melts me to the ground and it's no wonder you get away with what you do (with everyone!). One of our favorite traits about you at this time is that all of your "r's" are "l's" so you say things like looster (rooster), and load (road), and probably an all-time favorite "pepperloni" (pepperoni). You bring so much laughter and joy into our lives and I can't wait to see what the next year brings out in YOU!
Our FAVORITE, a Baskin Robbins ice cream cake! (White Cake/Cookies n Cream Ice Cream)

Interesting Find
(July 26, 2010)
I was picking up in the kids' bathroom one day when I happened upon this sight. Their toothbrushes have suction cup bottoms so they can stick upright to the vanity if that's how you choose to store them. I always have them put their toothbrushes away in a cup in the nearby closet. I guess one of the little guys decided to get a little creative and I couldn't help but laugh out loud and grab the camera:

A week of mommy working summer camp!
For the second year now, I have been involved in the All Girls Camp (ironic, huh?) week at our local Christian Camp. The boys were shuffled a little between Daddy and Grandma, but also spent a lot of time at camp with Mommy. We found a gracious teen girl to help out with childcare in the mornings and then they just spent the rest of the day with me! Any week of camp is exhausting, and we were all feeling it by the end of the week, but it's all worth it to be involved in such a unique ministry!
