So we have had a busy couple of weeks around here…Nothing to spectacular, just busy as usual. The regular baseball season is over, and we are about to start the All Star season, T’s first game is this Saturday, and we can’t wait!! They have a pretty awesome team this year, so I imagine that they will do great!!

So the boys are doing and saying a bunch of different things now, and my heart just melts when I hear them talking!!  Here are a few things that I Love:

• The boys are both taking swim lessons, first time ever, and they are like little fish! They both are able to jump into the pool now, and that’s a pretty big deal if you ask me. Especially since its their first time in a swimming pool!
• Nathan just randomly comes over to me and gives me hugs and kisses
• Ethan is constantly telling me “love you too Mama”
• We went to the beach the other day, and I was amazed at how well they listened to me.  They knew how far they could go in either direction on the beach, and if they went to far, i only had to speak to them.
• They are growing up, and I don’t have to be right with them at the beach, its nice living in a small town where there are only about 10 people at the beach, and you know them all.
• I got the letter from school for them both the other day, their first official day of school is Sept. 4th!
• They will finally play for hours together without fighting, in their toy room!
• We just ordered the boys their first swing set.  I can’t wait for it to come so we can have something else for the boys to do outside!
• We had the boys 4 year pics done the other day at the beach, I can’t wait to get them back
• The boys have been sleeping in till 7 most mornings!! kinda nice since they had been getting up at 5:30!
• We FINALLY got our tax return back. no thanks to someone’s ex-wife thinking that she can claim both of the kids, when it states clearly in the divorce that we can claim T.
• We got a new couch and chair for our living room over the weekend, a lot more comfortable than the old ones, and not broken for that matter
• My parents are coming on Thursday for the weekend, actually heading back home on Monday.

• Our town is celebrating the 4th of July on the 30th of June, even calling it “summer fest” instead of the 4th

That about sums it up for now! I can’t wait for my parents to get here on Thursday! Mostly excited that my Mom will actually be here for the boys last 2 swim lessons, so maybe she’ll be able to get a few pics of the boys in the pool, I would, but I have to go in with them!

 

Hope you all have a happy and safe 4th of July!
