Fort Worth Cats Baseball Game

After the game the boys ran the bases and we watched an awesome fireworks show.

For some reason the boys want to get autographs on everything. They ended up getting the mascot & the cheerleaders, but not a single player.

Pinewood Derby

I guess everyone really is a winner. Ben won for the "best wedge". HA HA! Nolan won "the most decals"

Byron Nelson Golf Tournament

The boys had a great time watching the golfers...Baylie was bored out of her mind.

Field Day

Father Son 2 Hour Campout

What. Ever!

I have been looking forward to a relaxing night all by myself! It took me all day to find all the camp gear for 3. Pack dinner, drinks and snacks. I felt good sending the 3 boys away for the night. While in a deep sleep I hear a pounding on the door at 3 a.m. How were they back so soon? A little rain storm?! Every piece of clothing, sleeping bag and tent were completely DRENCHED. It took me longer to pack 'em and un-pack 'em. Geesh!

What the ....

While I am yapping on the phone, the boys decided to take a quick swim before we set out to get the last minute supplies for the father/son campout tomorrow and pick up Baylie from Girl Scouts. I hear Ben very proudly yelling, "I caught a frog!" I look over and he is squeezing and holding the pool vaccum bag from the bottom of the pool. We have caught lots of frogs so I slowly pulled myself off my cushy chair to set the poor thing free. Here is what water-logged thing looked like as it fell out of the bag with a thug at my feet....

Is that a freakish rat!@!? What. Ever! (I think it is a mole...look at it's claws)

We got a good laugh at Ben, all he kept saying was it felt like a squishy frog. ha ha, he squeezed it with his hands!

Ben's Cello Concert

Ben absolutely hates cello. His school requires all 1st - 4th grade students to play a stringed instrument...(no, guitar does not count- he has asked that question a million times!) I had to take photos and videos of the concert because the second he has a choice, he is SO done! These will be our last pictures of Ben with a cello! :(

teacher appreciation week

We love our teachers!

Baylie has gone HEAVY METAL!!!

Here is the last picture of Baylie without braces for the next TWO WHOLE YEARS!!
Yeah...blue braces. Ummm, she picked blue to match her headband.....hello?! I guess she plans on wearing that blue headband for the next two years?!@#

Happy 12th Birthday Bayz!
