Father and Son Golf Tournament at Chateau Elan









My World!

They tied for 3rd place


A few shots of Henry



Walker and Eric played in their first golf tournament this past Saturday.  Walker was so excited to be able to play in a real tournament with his daddy!  They played the par 3 at Chateau Elan.  They used 3 of Walker's shots, which was awesome!  They tied for 3rd place with a score of 29.  Walker was one of the youngest out there and did really good!  Henry and I joined them when they were half way done.  We enjoyed walking with them and snapping pictures.  Henry actually got to hit a few himself!  We had so much fun and we will get to experience many many more of these with having 3 boys!

My new Saturday morning ritual











I started off this morning in a wonderful way!  As I was pouring my first cup of coffee, I looked out the window and my front porch was calling my name.  The boys were entertained with a morning cartoon so I took the moment and stepped outside.  I was just enjoying the peace and quite with the sounds of nature!  My grandmother aka "Meme" gave Henry this red bird house for his birthday last year.  He has always been fascinated with birds.  We hung it in our tree in the front yard and really haven't had much action until recently.  I have noticed these 2 little semi blue birds (not sure of their correct name, I should refer to Henry's bird book) coming back and forth to the house.  As I was enjoying my time this morning here they come!  I ran inside to get my camera and enjoyed snapping pictures and being fascinated of how they work.  I think that I could become a bird watcher.  It was so relaxing and so peaceful to sit back and watch these little birds work!  I think I am going to make this my Saturday morning ritual!

Henry dancing to Boom Boom Pow by Black Eyed Peas
The bride requested this song for Henry.  He calls it "Boom Boom gotta gep gep".  As soon as he heard it he ran out onto the dance floor.  He had a huge circle of people around him.  It was definitely the hit of the night!  I, along with many others were laughing so hard we were crying!  There is a video that I will post later!

My dear friend and my boys!

This past weekend we went down to Emerald Isle, North Carolina for the wedding!  I had the honor of being one of the bridesmaids!  It was absolutely the most perfect beach wedding!  It was a ton of fun for everyone! The boys enjoyed playing on the beach and swimming in the pool.  I had so much fun hanging out with my family and of course all of my girlfriends!  It was an awesome weekend, one I will never forget!  Congratulations Mitch and Carrie!!!!

First night of summer = Spend the night Party






We kicked off summer just right!  We went to the pool with JL and Mac, JL came over to spend the night, played in the rain, ordered pizza, played the Wii, watched TV, did fireworks, and played played played.  The boys had a ball!  The cutest thing was JL coming up to me and asking if he could have some tape, a pen, and a piece of paper.  I was curious what this was all about.  Then I ran upstairs and saw this on the outside of the boys door.  The sign read, "No girls allowed".  It was so cute!  I actually got pretty lucky!  I didn't really want to be involved in a "who can burp the loudest contest", or "who can pick the biggest booger".  Seriously this was what was going on!  Boys are just gross, but they are so dang cute!  We look forward to many many more nights like this, this summer.  

Scooters, Scooters, Everywhere!!!


I have been trying to get things together in Foster's room.  I was going through shoes the other day and just couldn't believe how many pairs of scooters I have.  By the way, I have thrown some away over the years too.  These red and blue scooters are all that I put my boys in from the time they could walk to just about 3 years old.  I love them.  This is one of those many things that I can't wait to see again on one of my boys!  These are just going to be his play scooters.  I will have to purchase more for him to go out in!  After going through 2 boys, they have to be put in the "play shoe" pile.

Walker's Awards Day/ End of year party






Wow, We are so proud of Walker!!!!  He received 5 awards!  He received the Math award, Outstanding Achievement in Art, Reading Award, Music Award, and Outstanding achievement in Writing.  His teacher told me that he tested the highest in his class in reading.  He is on a 2nd grade reading level.  We are so proud of him!  He had an outstanding year!  He had the absolute most wonderful teachers this year!  They were every parent's dream for a Kindergarten teacher!  We are really going to miss this class next year!  Hopefully next year will be just as good!  Walker we want you to keep up the good work!!!!
