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!!!!  

Playdate

One day last week I had 4 boys, 4 and under at my house.  They were the cutest things ever!  I was keeping Mac for Kim, and William and Wesley for my friend Kristen.  They all were great and played so well together.  Henry loves standing on top of his dresser and looking at each of their trophy's.  I had to snap a picture of him before I told him to get down! 

Fishing Tournament

Last Saturday the boys were in a fishing tournament.  The tournament was to raise money for the American Cancer Society.  They got to fish for 2 hours and you got a trophy for biggest, smallest and most fish caught. Unfortunately we didn't catch any fish.  Apparently we were not in the hot spot.   Walker asked if he would get a trophy for just having fun.  I thought that was so cute.  That was what it was all about.  They loved it!  The picture of the little girl is Caroline.  I had a previous post of a love letter that she sent Walker.  I think that they are still little sweethearts.  A will share a cute little story.  Caroline was fishing with us and one of her girlfriends.  Caroline kept saying, "I want Walker to help me fish b/c he is good and he knows how to do it".  She gave the pole to Walker and he accidently threw her pole in the water and it sunk.  Eric and I were dying laughing.  It was so funny.  Here she was talking about how good Walker was and then the first time he threw her pole in the water.  She didn't seem to care and never blamed him.  She just said that her pole was real slippery.  I think that most girls would get mad and cry, but not Caroline.  That really makes me think she has a little something for Walker.  We had such a fun day and were glad that we were able to help raise money for such a good cause.

Walker's First Sock Hop

Walker's school had a Sock Hop last Friday.  This was a party to celebrate all of their hard work this year for  reading!  The kids had a blast!  They danced in the gym floor to 50's music, had coke floats, popcorn, cookies, and all kinds of special treats!  I will have to say all of the boys were so cool looking!

Rockhounds win the championship

Walker's baseball team won the county championship!  They were super excited!  The team that they beat was undefeated.  Walker had an amazing game.  He was 2 for 2 with a triple, a double, and 3 RBI.  (Eric told me what to put there...lol).  Walker was so excited about this game.  He really wanted to get a 2nd trophy this season.  He really is a good little baseball player, we hope that he keeps it up.  Although, he is really wanting to play football in the fall.  Mama is hoping that maybe he will change his mind!  We just love spending nights at the ball field!  However, at the end of the season we were ready for a little break!
