Jonah: mommy will you watch me ride my bike in the driveway?

Me: buddy I'm really tired right now... Can we cuddle on the couch
and watch whatever you want?

Jonah: no. I really want to be outside.

What has the country done with my children??

Got a batch of sun tea brewing because that's what us country folk do

Dinner al fresco on the new sun porch

please tell me this isn't the start of the "girls stage"

Last night at swimming the boys and I were in the changing room after class.  A girl in the next changing room heard us.

Girl:  Trey is that you?  It's me, Ellie!

Trey:  (smile) Hi.

Girl:  Trey I can't wait to see you next Tuesday in class.

Trey:  (bigger smile)

Girl:  I think you'll do really well in class next week like you did today.  You are a good swimmer.

Trey:  (smile, looking at me with eyes wide)

Swim lessons

The boys are in swim lessons at a new place. I really want Jonah to
pass the swim test at the gym this summer (swim the length of the pool
unassisted) so he can earn the wristband that lets him go all around
the pool without a parent by his side. He's pretty good at swimming
short distances already.

At this new place they have TV screens so you can watch them from
above. Jonah is on the left, Trey on the right.

I love love love the reading nook in the new house and it's awesome to
see that Trey inherited my love of reading. Look at him snuggled up
in there!

Best quote of the week!

Trey: mommy there are 2 things that make me smart - school and you.

Me: oh yea? Why me?

Trey: because you teach me a lot of stuff.

(Tears...)

This is how much I know about soccer

(I'm giving joe updates from Trey's game)

It's ours!

We closed on the new house today. Yippee!!

Florida/Disney trip 2013 - Trey is a champion fisherman

Florida/Disney trip 2013 - the boys LOVE the ocean!

The boys LOVED the beach!  They ran from the waves for HOURS and made recipes from the different kinds of sand.

Chickens

Trey: daddy I really want you to get chickens so I could name the hen
Qui Gon Hen.

Flashback Friday

5 years ago, we move to Colorado!  Trey has his first lung related issue.

4 years ago, the boys bathe, Jonah's first loves, and Trey uses his imagination.
