Deer

I'd prefer to use an expletive, but this is a family blog.   Luckily, no one was hurt (except the deer), so we are thankful.

Sleepy boy

State champions!

We went to Lincoln this weekend to visit Grandpa and Grandma Frank and to take in the Sargent-Howells state championship football game.  Grandpa is doing pretty well, grandma is on the mend, and the Bulldogs won 21-18, so all in all, it was a pretty good weekend.  Here are some pictures to go with the story.  FYI-in the last picture (the one with the Sargent coat kind of balled up), Alex is bundled up inside of that coat sitting on the bleachers.  I think if you look hard you can see his ear.

Fun Playing

The boys easily spent a solid 30 minutes making the same three cars CRASH!  Despite the cars running into fingers, toes, feet, and other body parts, the boys had a great time.  I love it when they play together!

Birthday Lists!

Many of you have been asking for lists from the boys - so we sat them in front of Amazon for as long as we could, and got some ideas for you.  This is not an extensive list - just a general idea of what they might like. :)

I tried to put the links in, so I hope it works.  All of these were found on Amazon, so search there if you have no idea what we're talking about.


Zach
PlasmaCar Red  (Zach would like orange, if possible)
Clothing – Winter (warm) especially – 3T – long sleeve shirts, pants/sweats, underwear, socks, boots size 10-11, Winter coat, snowpants, gloves/hat
He especially likes Cars, Max and Ruby, WonderPets, and SuperWhy if you can find clothing/books/puzzles/whatever in those themes.

Alex

#2 and #10 from the Cars 2 movie (we have the rest)

Reminiscing....

I was looking through some blog posts from young Alex the other night, and this game was such a favorite.  We tried to recreate it tonight....still funny, but probably the last time it'll happen without an ER visit.

First Day of Preschool!

Today was Alex's 1st Day of Preschool.  He was pretty quiet when I picked him up, but very talkative on the way home.  His favorite part was the blueberry muffins and building tall towers to knock over with the " 'strucksion stuff".

He wanted me to take a picture of his backpack, too.  He thought I was crazy for wanting to take a picture of his face.

When I went to leave, I kissed him on the head and said, "i love you".  Be looked at ne, said, "dont say that.  You can leave now." Then gave me a hug and ran off.

So glad it went well, instead of him crying and not wanting to go.  Great day!

Closing VBS program

Alex participated in VBS this year! It took some convincing, but he enjoyed going with his class. I helped with the snacks, so we all went all went every day. They had 'babysitting', but Zach just seemed to follow me around. Next year Zach can have a class too.

Here's a shot of Alex with some of his friends, Clare and Belle.

Alex's First T-Ball Game!

Well, I think I *finally* have this all here - - and right! :)

Alex had his first t-ball game Monday night.  They have 14-16 kiddos on a team, all between the ages of 4 and 8.  There are 5 teams, and they all play against each other - so we don't have to travel to other towns just yet. :)

They play two full innings (three if there's time), and everyone bats and runs every inning.  Everyone also plays the field (hence the reason Alex is one of 6 "pitchers" in one of the pictures).  It was quite the experience.....laughing silly at some of the antics of these little folks, and also a little bit of bittersweet....as I realize that my little boy isn't quite so little anymore.  

Anyway, on to the videos:









He has at least two more games left (there is a coach from North Loup trying to get her team up here, so one more game may be possible).

2nd t-ball practice and 'wingin'

Tonight was Alex's second practice... this time on the football field. Alex said (when we asked if he had a good time), "I'll tell you tomorrow." Ok....?!?!??

Then we came home and went in the backyard. It's 8:00 now and 74. Perfect!

Fun with fruit!

This all began with grapes for supper... and ended with this.

The boys were quite amused, Andy had small welts from where the grapes missed. He loses any right to complain, however... he started it all. :)

Corny toes

Tonight (after baths) the boys were enjoying a nice bowl of popcorn.  Zach decided to eat his in an unorthodox manner, and Alex soon followed suit.  Silly boys.  Enjoy.

Awww Pickle Juice

Zach learned this from Mickey Mouse (actually Donald Duck says it), but it's hung with Zach. Just too cute....much to Alex's dismay.
