Hangin' with Grandma

 
I found this pic in our file and just had to post it. Grandma had lunch with Gavin one day last fall and joined him briefly at the playground. They had a great time and Grandma Roberta even joined in on the fun. Gavin loves the monkey bars. :o)

Springtime come soon

I was just thinking how I'm looking forward to the warm weather, taking the boys on bike rides, going to the pool, etc., etc. We haven't hit March 20th yet, the first day of spring, but it is fast approaching. Just ready to warm up a bit . . .

Mama and Her boys

 
Photo Op at the Y. If you notice the boys finally had haircuts.

Head or Helmet?

 
 
 
Today we watched Gavin play one of his last games of soccer. His head took a beating. During the game, he tripped and slid on his back while banging the back of his head on the gym floor (he all ready had a lump there from a previous injury at home). Then, while he was goalie, a player kicked the ball which came flying at Gavin and smacked him right in the middle of the forehead. He got laid out by it. Brad and I held our breaths, and I even debated on going out to him knowing he was upset. But, of course, after a couple of minutes, he got up, parents cheered, and everything was fine. Later, though, Gavin tells me I should have been out there to help him because he was crying. We were trying so hard to not be "that parent." Soccer has been done for an hour now and he's still talking about it. Thank goodness the ball wasn't a traditional soccer ball. Next Sat. will be his last game and then it's on to basketball.

That's a BIG 3-4

 
 
 
Yesterday Brad celebrated his 34th birthday. He and I had a nice outing for lunch at Ruby Tuesday's and then last night we had cupcakes with the boys before he went to Bible Study at Jupiter's. Such a special day and the boys love their Daddy. Taten dug right into the cupcakes. Happy Birthday Brad and Happy Birthday to Uncle Brent, too. We miss you! :o)
