Fathers and Sons

My little campers sitting in front of the 8 man tent! How do you like their chairs? 

Roasting marshmallows . YUMMY!

A sleepy little camper getting ready for bed!

This little camper was having a hard time going to sleep! He called me 3 times in the short time he was gone!  I have to say I loved hearing Jeremy's cell phone number come up on the caller ID. I missed these little guys so much!

Case taking a break from the kick ball game. 

On Friday, Jeremy took Brody and Case on the Father's and Sons outing with our ward. Poor Ledger didn't get to go this year but hopefully will be ready for next years camp out!  The boys had been getting ready for this overnighter for over a week and could hardly wait another day.  They got a new tent (an 8 man tent!), cots, sleeping bags, and of course little people chairs to sit in by the fire!  When the day finally arrived, they were ready!  The weekend was great fun to these campers and they are wanting to go back already!  Dad is still trying to catch up on his sleep and coming home to the broken hot water line leak under our garage concrete!  I'm wondering why Father's and Sons can't last one more night!

Let's Play Music!

Brody played, "I'm An Indian" on the keyboard for the performance.  He is so good at playing!

Brody and his cute little friend Livvy singing, "Don't Put Your Trash In My Backyard!"

Miss Debbie is the best "Let's Play Music" teacher!

On Thursday night, Brody had his second "Let's Play Music" recital at Poston Jr. High.  If you don't know about Let's Play Music, you should check out their web site.  It is an awesome music theory class that gets kids ready for piano by teaching them how to read and play music.  Brody's teacher Miss Debbie is absolutely wonderful.  I would recommend Let's Play Music to any of you Mom's and Dad's out there who want your kids to be musically talented

 (unlike ME!) It was a great performance and I am so proud of Brody and all he has learned this year!

Barbie

Could Barbie be coming soon to this all boy house?

I"m having a GIRL!! ...

I'll believe it when I see it!

Trike-A-Thon

Case getting his helmet on and ready!

Green means "Go"

And he's off!

Slow down Case!

Here he is with his medal and scooter!

Yesterday, Case's awesome preschool teachers held a trike-a-thon to raise money for St. Jude's Hospital.  The kids brought bikes, scooters, trikes and of course helmets to ride around the sidewalk as they learned about bike safety.  After they rode up and down the sidewalk, they got a popsicle, medal and certificate of completion.  What a fun day at preschool for this little guy!

Swim lessons

Case is ready to swim with those super cool googles!

Ledger showing me that he is in the "juice" (any liquid is" juice" to Ledger)

Super cute swim suit Case!

Ledger is ready to swim!  Does this suit look familiar?  It was Brody's when he was 2!

Three weeks ago, Case and Ledger started swim lessons with Ms. Carolyn.  Case did great and is having a ball swimming with Jefferson, Nate and Josh.  He still gets a little nervous going off the board, but somehow can talk his teacher into moving a little closer so he doesn't have to swim so far!  Ledger is doing great now too!  It was a little scary that first week with all the screaming and crying he did.  This is the same kid who didn't so much as fuss last year when he took swim lessons.  He is loving the water now and I'm super happy that I don't have to get soaked and listen to him scream for a half hour!
