Summer time

It is officially...

at least for the boys.

I still have a few more days of teacher inservice. 

But for the boys, bring on the fun! 

Going For A Ride!

Sutton loves to get into things!  The other day, I pulled out his walker so we could put it up in the attic.  The next thing I know, he has climbed in and is zipping around the house!  He climbs into the chairs, onto the couch, into boxes, cabinets, laundry baskets, anything!  He climbed into this basket, and Ayden took him for a ride.  The best part about this picture, is the look on his face.  I wonder what happened before I found them, because he looks a little nervous.  Do you think Ayden might have run him into the wall?  We'll never know!

High School Honors

Tonight was the awards ceremony at high school.  Blake got a medal for maintaining a 4.0 or higher grade point average for the year.  He was also inducted into the National Honor Society.

3rd Grade Awards

Cordell won the citizenship award and 15th place in the miler's club for running 45 miles this year!

Double Play

It's hard to tell from this picture, but Cordell had a big play here.  He caught the ball.  It is actually in his glove!  Then he got the kid that was on first out too.  DOUBLE PLAY!!  Our little team is a very young team, and we have struggled all year.  We managed to beat this team tonight 2-1.  Sweet victory!

FFA Banquet

Granny and Me

A boy and his Granny!

Squat

We had the end of year celebration for Faithweavers tonight at the city park.  Sutton was running around playing and having a good time.  I squatted down to get on his level while I took a picture.  He looked at me and did the same thing.  Like this momma?

All A's Breakfast

All A's........AGAIN!!

Blake - Sophomore

Cordell - 3rd Grade

Ayden and the eggs

Ayden loves to help me cook.  The other day, I was in the kitchen making something.  Ayden ran in and begged to help.  So, I sent him to the refrigerator to get me some eggs.  He is a great egg cracker!

I had bought some different eggs, because Cordell needed a paper carton for a school project.  The eggs were brown.  Ayden opened up the box, looked at the eggs, and said, "Momma, why did you buy mexican eggs?"

Sutton = 18 Months

Already?

I can't believe it!

Sutton is 18 months old.

18 months = 1 1/2 years

It just can't be.

It feels like just yesterday that we headed to the hospital for the birth of our sweet little Sutton.

But, yes it is true, Sutton is now 18 months old.

At 18 months, Sutton is quite the busy body.  He got some new squeaky sandals and he loves to walk, dance, and bounce around as his shoes squeak.

He thinks he is ever bit as big as his older brothers and loves to follow them everywhere.  He has even figured out how to play a little t-ball from watching Ayden.  He will seriously put the ball on the t and hit it off with the bat (upside down, but it works).

He is an amazing little eater.  His favorite is fruit, and I have not found any that he does not like.  He can also diminish just about any other food that finds its way to his highchair.  The only thing that I can't get him to eat, unless I hide it in other food, is green beans.  He loves little cereal snacks.  He carries them around in a little cup that I think has become an extention to his hand!

He is quite a little talker.  He rattles off stuff all the time.  He says mom, daddy, Ayden (always in a yell), Bake (Blake), and Bubba (Cordell is kind of hard to say).  He also says Nanny, ball, moon, Ryder (the dog), puppy, kitty, mone (come on), book (He absolutely loves to read!  If anyone sits down in the "reading chair,"  they have to read to him.), boo, ta-da, lo (hello - on the phone), bye, love you (but only if he wants to), hey, ready go, yellow, side (outside), and B (that is the name he gave his pacifier).  He loves the word yellow.  I don't know why, but he just does.  He talks about the yellow pish (fish) and sits on the couch watching the aquarium.

When he gets sleepy, you can pick him up and he will tuck his little arms under his body.

He has sweet little curls in the back of his hair.  He is the only one of the boys that has ever had curls, and they are sooooo cute!
He loves little trucks, tractors, and all things with wheels.  He makes all those little noises that go with driving them around.  I think little boys are just born with those noises!

He is a sweet, fun, loving, little guy, and we are all so lucky to have him!!
