Will's First Soccer Game.....

We had our first soccer game today....  All I can say is that the two coaches deserve medals!!!  Imagine if you will trying to place and then herd 8 - 10 cats off their leashes!!!!!  They were really cute to watch and I think he had a good time.  With the exception of the two times that he came to the sidelines to sit down to pout and cry.  And to say that the snow-cone truck was forefront in his mind is an understatement!!!

But alas he played well.....

Getting some practice in before the game...

Getting some last minute instructions from one of the coaches

Gotta show off....

Gotta work on paying attention!!!!

Throwing the ball back into play...

Getting in on some play action...

My little goalie...

Look at that form....

Play Ball!!!!

I wonder who is instructing who??

Still going...

Showing some sportsmanship....

Happy 5th Birthday Will!!!!!

Today we celebrated a little bit early, but boy did we celebrate Will's 5Th birthday with an awesome Army party!!!!!  Everyone was decked out in their cammo and gear and weapons were issued.  Both the kiddos and the adults had a lot of fun with the marshmallow shooter battle.  Chow was served and so was an ultra cool tank birthday cake!!!  We finished off the party with a water balloon battle that was a total hit!!!!

Click the link below for the video of the party.  Little long, but there were so many good pictures that I just had to share to show how much fun they had!!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!

We slept in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We both slept till 8:30 this morning and had some egg in a hole and french toast for breakfast. While we were cooking we noticed a flurry of excitement outside the window.  As hot as it is, I guess everything is looking for something cool to drink.  The hummingbirds were all over the feeder this morning.  Will was amazed watching them dart back and forth getting a sip of the sweet nectar that we made them.  

We loaded up and headed to the farm to spend a lazy day at the pool.  We couldn't get our suits on fast enough to satisfy this excited little boy.  We suited up, sprayed down because it was a hot one today yall....  He even went after the spray for himself!!

We did enjoy a little cloud cover from time to time....Look at those rays!!!!!!

 Lovin some pool time....

 Silly boy.....

So we had a first today..we swam to the ladder from the middle of the pool at the slope to the deep end with no vest or swimmies or floats..... Just 2 little feet and 2 little arms kicking and pulling like crazy!!!  Of course, he had to have a constant reminder to keep his mouth closed...  But he was soooooo proud.  Then he wanted to see if he could make from the ladder to the diving board...and he did it!!!!!!  

 Just made me very proud....  he was also so excited and proud of himself!!!

Just chilin.....

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!!

Go jump in the lake...

Left work early today, got Will, our bathing suits and headed to the lake...  James and Sherry played host to the Kennedy Boys for some lake fun and grilling.  We couldn't get to the water fast enough to please this little fish!!!  On the way out he told me "Hey dad, imma jump off the dock into the water", so that was the first thing that he wanted to do...  he needed a little help, so Sherry gave him a little help.  He was in a mood to do everything once and then get back in the water tonight.  So we only jumped in one time.  

Presley want to jump in too....

Swimming like a fish

Taking a breather....  

The boys....all 4 of us!!!

Next we got on the paddle boat....he was so excited....

But his feet wouldn't reach the pedals.... but he did come up with a good improv...

 Cleaning up the bottom of the lake....

Hey dad, i want to ride on the skidoo....No buddy, it is a Sea-Doo... "I know, that's what I said"!!!!!

OK dad.....I am ready to go swimming now.....  boy loves the water!!!!!!

James was busy while we were playing, grilling up a storm and getting supper ready.  We had hot dogs, beans, mac n cheese and fresh watermelon with blueberries.  All that playing in the waster made him a hungry little one.  We enjoyed sitting around after supper visiting and watching Will play for a while.  He was visibly getting tired....moving a little slower each minute, so we loaded up and headed towards the house.  He was very curious if he really had to take a bath tonight!!!!  I told him yes and he was almost asleep before we got jammies on.....  lovin the summertime!!

Love,

Picnic in the Park

Avery invited me and Will to a church covered dish picnic at Bonner Park this afternoon.  We arrived as the sun was falling behind the trees, so we had so good shade.  There were kiddos running around over both playgrounds and swing sets as parents kept a watchful eye and enjoyed catching up and meeting new friends.  After a while of play, the picnic was started.  Hot dogs and tons of sides with cool lemonade to wash it all down.  We laughed and enjoyed food and fellowship with lots of new friends, but we always love to play with "Shug"...

 He is just growing up too fast...

They loved the swings...

She is soooo cute...

No telling what he was looking at

 There is that face....

Determination

There is that cute smile...

Zurberts....

Love this kid...

Before we knew it, bath time was calling for a sweaty little boy who was getting tired.  After a good scrubbing, we got on our jammies and wound down the night with a few stories from our Curious George book; he was asleep before we could start the third story.  We love summertime!!!

Love,
