Day 120

Swimming...

We made it home from our first day of swim team, with most of the team there for their age groups.  It was busy, but Cody made quite a few laps.  Tyler didn't get much swim time today, but they are working on leveling the age groups, so hopefully this will get better.

Day 119

Family Dinner

We had Keith's family over for dinner tonight, spaghetti and meatballs, bread sticks and poppy seed bread for dessert. 

Day 118

Soccer Carnage 

The boys and I spent from 7am-12:30 today on the soccer field as part of my coaches training.  They were our helpers today and really had a good time learning some new skills.  

I'm now an official "F" licensed coach, with a whole new perspective on how things will run in the fall. 

Day 117

In Training...

Soccer coaching 101, day two tomorrow!

Day 116

Show-Off Night, Take 2

Another medal and another show on the books!

Day 115

Discovery Museum...

Today our homeschooling group took a field trip to the Discovery Museum of Space and Sciences, can't wait to go back again!

Day 114

Gymnastics show

Tyler had his first gymnastics show tonight, he did great and was excited to receive a cool medal.  Round 2 on Thursday!

Day 113

A garden to grow....

We planted out garden today, hopefully it all grows! 

Day 112

Hiking...

Keith took the boys and Grandpa on a 3 hour tour.  

Well, really they went all around the lake and on the trails. 

Day 111

Pizza...

Tonight was pizza night and we were taking another stab at using a dough ball from Winco.  The boys had a lot of fun making their own pies.  YUM! 

Day 110

Swimmer boys...

We've made it through our first week of swim!  I'm excited for clinic to be over so that Cody can move over to more of his age group and be pushed a bit harder.  Ty is coming along and getting better at not grabbing the lines 20 times on the way down, more like 4 or 5 times towards the end. 

Day 109

Stretch....

That's how the day felt, WAY over stretched. 

Day 108

Spring time walk...

After we were finished with school today we headed over to the fish hatchery to enjoy the beautiful weather.  After feeding the fish we went on a walk along the bike trail.  We were met with the signs of spring including gorgeous poppies everywhere. 

Day 107

More pieces...

One more fancy block left!

Day 106

And so it begins....

First day of swim for the season!

Only 70 some odd days to go....

Day 105

Alone...

It's just me, Iron Man 2 and the Sunday paper today.  

The boys spent the night with the Grandparents and Keith is out at the Ranch Run.  

I did go watch the boy swim for a bit, but other than that it's been a much needed relaxing day. 

Day 104

Fiesta 40!

Today was Jen's Fiesta 40 Party!  My contribution included some amazing Margarita Cupcakes.  

An another awesome Pinterest find.  

Happy Birthday to my very dear friend!

Day 103

Curly...

I had a date tonight with my heat gun and a wooden spoon, ribbon curling was happening.  

Party is tomorrow!

Day 102

Cupcakes picks...

We are planning a surprise party for a very good friend, decorations have started. 

Day 101

What the hail?!?!?

 

On our way home from shopping it started pouring down rain, then as soon as we pulled into the garage the hail started.  Cody and I stood just inside the garage watching it come down, then watching the lightning and waiting on the thunder.  Quite the spring storm we had! 

Day 100

More sewing...

Two more down, two more to go.  

(Yes, I'm still ignoring the number of log cabin filler blocks still to be finished...)

Day 99

Little Skater Boy

Cody's really starting to get the hang of his RipStik, he can go quite a bit before stopping.  His next task is to learn how to start without holding on to something.  

Day 98

Happy Easter!

Cody made it a point after breakfast to bring Keith and I the special eggs he dyed for us yesterday. 

Day 97

Dying Eggs...

Yep, there they are.  Only one egg hit the floor, I'm impressed.   

Day 96

Permanent fixtures for the next 6-8 months...

These, amongst others (like the missing, beloved, face stick) will be sitting on the counter until probably October or so.  The boys hit the pool (twice!) with Grandma today in hopes of having Tyler remember he can swim before swim team starts in a couple of weeks.  So far things are going okay, Cody on the other hand swam 22 laps in his evening session! 

Day 95

Workin' at the Car Wash...

They put in a new Quick Quack Car Wash in our area and we drove by it yesterday.  The boys decided that if I wasn't going to stop and get the Tahoe washed they needed to do it themselves.  So I pulled down the car soap, mits and buckets, turned on the hose and let them go at it.  We decided the Van could use a scrub as well.  They had fun, even if the cars didn't turn out all that clean! 

Day 94

Buddies...

We celebrated 3 friends turning 8 today at the park.  Cody's buddies from preschool, along with some of my best friends, it was a great time. 

(Oh, and yes this is the "best" of the three crappy pictures I took today)

Day 93

Old School

Grandma and Grandpa Douglas brought down a bunch of old games and puzzles for us during their visit over the last few days.  The boys have been playing with our old View Finder.

Day 92

Tree Trimmin'

The neighbors behind us had a tree that was dying and with a lot of branches that hung over on our side, today they had it cut way back and we spent a lot of time watching them.

Day 91

Testing out the new toys...

Cody is getting better at balancing on his new RipStik, can't wait to see him cruising down the sidewalk on this thing!
