Lately

S'mores in the tent on the porch on a rainy day...

Ugh. We have had so much rain lately.  I'm ready for May flowers!!

Jelly bean graphing at our CC group...

Sweet mouth-breathing...

We started soccer... We signed up months ago not thinking or realizing that Phil would be working every weekend so I would have to take all four boys and stand in the sun for four hours every Saturday.  But they enjoy it so it's worth it (I think).  :)

I don't think Emmett has ever been this sweaty in his whole life!

He won a sportsmanship medal the first day.

And Davis worked on an apple for about half an hour.

Four hours later... done!  Off to Chick-Fil-A on the way home as a reward!

Jackson finally lost his other front tooth!  :)

Reid loves making R's...

Davis gets excited whenever anyone else is excited.

Car movie watching...

D loves to raid my shoe cabinet and walk around in my high heels.  These are the ones he chose that day...

Phil is officially done with Delta training and is a full-up Delta pilot now!  He had a few days off the other day so we rented a pontoon boat.  It was a little chilly in the wind and water, but still a beautiful day.  Phil and I had one of the biggest laughs when we were parked in the water here... R, J, and E had taken their boogie boards up to that island and were in the process of coming back to the boat when Reid starts yelling and screaming... "Ahhhh!  Ahhhh!  Something's down dere!"  I did see a shadow in the water and for a split second I thought it was a stingray or something, but I quickly realized it was just the shadow of his boogie board!!!  Phil and I were in the boat and were just dying laughing while we were trying to calm Reid down.  He just kept screaming and yelling and it took him a few long seconds to realize what we were saying and that it was just a shadow.  Then he was just like, "Oh.  Well, I don't want to take my boogie board out dere again."  Lol!  He is so funny.

This was right after we went over a big wake and two huge waves crashed over the side of the boat and soaked all of us up front.  J and E loved it and cracked up, but the little ones (and me) weren't so thrilled.  :)  That water is still cold!!  Phil was like, "Hey!  Think of Deadliest Catch!  You can't blame the captain for waves coming over the side of the boat!"  Lol.

Davis just looked so big this night wearing those pjs that I had to take some pics.

Enough, Mom!

Everyone at the counter for an early dinner!  Davis loved this.

Right after that J and E and I went to our end-of-the-year program for our Classical Conversations class.  Phil had just left for a trip that afternoon so he wasn't able to come with us.  :(  I got a sitter for D and R to make it a fun night for just the big boys and me.

These boys got a medal for being scripture memory masters!  They memorized and recited to their tutor John 1:1-7 in English and Latin.

Holding their awards from their tutors...

Out for ice cream afterwards...

The next morning after I got done exercising I came in and saw them both watching a show wearing their medals.  :)

Speaking of exercising, I finished Insanity Max 30!  2 months... 5 days a week, 30 minutes a day and amazing results!  I would seriously sell this product.  Lol.  (Sorry for the sweaty armpits)

I was so excited that I even took a screen shot of the last few seconds of the program and my "workout partners."  Lol!  **I need to get out more.**

Here's my other "workout partner" who wanted a picture of himself after he took mine.  :)

 Jackson won a sportsmanship medal the second week of soccer!

This was a few hours after soccer practice.  We were having some quiet time while Davis napped and Reid was watching a movie... and he just couldn't stay awake.  He's never fallen asleep on the couch like that before.

I even woke him up when I shoved a towel under him in case he went potty in his sleep and he went right back to sleep!
