Tonight was the boys' last night of soccer for the spring. Mom and dad were here to watch with us, and FREEZE with us. sheesh - it was cold! But the boys played the so well! they both really hustled, and Levi scored a goal! YAY!
Next is T-Ball for Levi.
Sunday night we had some friends over to BBQ for the long weekend. Will and Amber brought their firepit and the kids had a GREAT TIME roasting marshmallows. Here's a few of the best pics I snapped. :)
Levi is such a goofball, the other night while we (ha we, I mean THEY) were planting the garden, he said "ok mommy, you take my picture, and I'll show you my faces" so here they are...
started off pretty innocent and nice
and then oh my... i knew we were in for a ride, but i kept snapping
so, as I'm posting these, I decided to ask him what these faces "mean" so here you go...
this is my "smart, thinking face"
my "you're funny face"
oh! that's my "naughty face"
oh dear! this is "mean!"
"that's my bug eating face of course!"
"i have no idea what that is, but it looks weird"
"that's my i'm sorry and i love you mommy face"
so there you have it. the many faces of levi.
*i think he's got a future in theater, what do you think?
1) it was too stinking hot and windy to be at soccer
2) the boys played at EXACTLY the same time - hard for a mom to watch both
3) I *need* a zoom lens
4) Levi made a goal! and Caleb's team won!
evidently if you're me, and you have a new camera FIFTY FOUR! :)
here's just a few. the kids had a great time.
We had the Thomas family over for dinner tonight - kind of spur of the moment - relaxed, easy, simple summer food on the grill dinner, and we had a great time! just relaxing, eating, visiting, and enjoying every SINGLE moment of these adorable girls. so great. God's really blessed us - to be able to be so close to them. i love summer... (sorry, lots of pictures!)
Jason and some guys from our small group at church went on a camping/fishing weekend with my dad as their "guide" this weekend. sounds like they had a GREAT time - and from the looks of these pictures, they actually caught fish too! Word has it that my dad is "cool" - which I already knew! Thanks dad - they had a great time! you're the best!
I finally got a digital rebel and i LOVE IT! Dorothy sold me her old camera for a great price, and I couldn't resist. I'm SO looking forward to learning some things and working on my photography skills. I took these pictures friday afternoon, straight out of the box.
picture heavy post. :)
first - Verity's baby dedication was Sunday, and so we went out to Fredel and Jason's for lunch after. Al's whole family was there, so that was fun.
then we're doing some landscaping in the front of our house. When we bought this house
there wasn't a single tree or shrub or flower or ANYTHING on our whole property. so...
we're working on it. We planted 3 shrubs that are 'barberries' or something? (yeah, i'm
no gardener!)
so this is just getting started on Sunday
Levi being cute.
Caleb 'helping'
Jason hard at work.
levi was more than excited about the WORMS! weird kid.
Levi being a wild man bike rider.
Cale 'surfing' on the shovel (as you can see they only helped when it looked fun)
Caleb being 'handsome' he's so 'old' now. he doesn't like to be cute.
the dogwood that we got for the northeast corner of the front.
and last - i was just playing with the camera and thought this one was pretty.
Levi was a bunny in his kindergarten play - he had one big line "you're MEAN!" HA!
he did a great job. 1st picture is him with his teacher.
Wednesday we had AWANA awards night - Very proud of Caleb, he got his award for doing all 3 sparks books in 3 years.
and Levi got his 1st year book award too!
and... Soccer has started! It's been chilly so far - but hopefully it'll be getting better - every tuesday and thursday if anyone's interested in coming and watching!
