Where did my babies go??

Oh time Why don't you slow down and let us enjoy these days a little longer.

We have had a couple of major milestones lately.. That has made me realize no matter how hard I try I can't keep them little.

Luke has officially started kindergarten. He is homeschooling so at least I get to keep a hold of him a little longer.

But I think the big thing was he lost his front tooth.. Look at that little grin

Landry started 3rd grade. He was nervous but excited. He just wishes school started at 10:00 in the morning. This is his new teacher.

WE rode bikes the very first day. His shirt says." the cool kids just showed up" Confident little thing isn't he.

Here fish fishy fishy

So on saturday we went with our buddies to their lake house. To play off hte dock, ride jet skis and play in the boat and tube.It was great fun except...

Luke was not about to get n the lake. Nope he was going to have none of it.
He kept saying it looked dirty. he kept saying there were fish in it. We kept assuring him there were no fish in the lake. Bad parents

Landry loved the lake .. He ran from the car and went to jump in.. he LOVED the jet skis .. He LOVED jumping off the sides.. HE LOVED tubing in the boat.. HE LOVED the whole thing.. Luke not so much
Luke sat on the dock red faced and pouty

Finally after lunch mommy had had enough

Luke you are going to get in the water or loose your ds and wii for a week.
Please don't marvel to much at my parenting skills. I know Dr. spocks got nothing on me
Luke says well I guess I loose my ds then
mommy : hmm that didn't work
Mommy : Fine Luke you are getting in.. you can get in the tube
Luke: NO
Mommy YES
Luke : no
mommy:luke you can sit in the tube the fish won't get you there/
Ok so this goes on for hours ok maybe it was more like 20 minutes it just seemed like hours..

YEAH mommy won!! Victory!!!!He went on to have a great time he loved jumping off the dock and going down the slide. HE had agreat time we had to drag both of my boys out of the water . They did not want to leave. Luke loved the jet ski he kept asking me to go faster. He even played with the fish/minnows

being the little scientist he is.. he had to smell them. then he wanted to pull of their fins to see what happened and wanted to know if he could look inside them. Future surgeon or seriel killer??and then of course theres landry.. My stand up comic.

Camping Trip

So we just got back from camping and 4 wheelin.. This is the 2nd time Landry has been out on the Motorcycle. He did much better this time he only crashed once ( I have it on video but can't post it b/c my mom would freak) and fell down like 10 times compared to 50 last time :)

Happy 4th of July!!!

So We started all this with schyler when he was a baby. However, his photos are not digital so I'm being lazy and not feeling like scanning them in so Just trust me on this . This parade thing now goes back 17 years..

The world according to Luke

Do you know why rolly pollys are fast?
Because they are lighter because they are smaller and the lighter things are the faster they are.

And they have lots of legs..
