Can you say BUSY........Goodness we got a lot going on

So much has happened since I last put out a post and clearly we have been busy so that is why it has been such a long time in between posts!

 

Where to start.....Everett got braces!!!  He is doing wonderful with them.  I am so proud of him!  He sure does seem quite grown up now :(

 

(The last time he will ever look this way, makes me sad)

 

(Bring on the new smile)

 

 

We took the boys 4 wheeling and dirt bike riding last weekend over Mother's Day weekend.  As always we had a blast!!  and.......as always we made 1 lap around and Ashton was ready for lunch!  We managed to hold him off for a few more laps around. 

 

Ashton didn't want to ride his dirt bike, he got scared.  We took friends with us that have them too and their 6 year old flipped his bike as soon as he got on it and spent the day at urgent care so Ashton was completely content with just doubling up and riding the 4 wheeler with Lee and I. 

 

Everett does AMAZING on his dirt bike!  He is getting really good and very smart about riding.  I took my new (to me) 10 year old dirt bike out for the 1st time too and have to say, I am quite proud of myself!  I have NEVER riden a bike like that and had to manually shift gears.  I did great!  Now, I did lay the damn thing down 4 times and luckily never got hurt!  Just a few thorns in my hand when i landed in the bush and lots of F-bombs dropped when I couldn't kick it started again.  Talk about a work out! 

 

(Boys on their lunch break, they are so cute in their riding gear)

 

 

Brace yourself for what is next.........

 

 

This kids cracks my shit up!!!!  He had just gotten out of the shower and went outside in the garage, sitting in his chair, legs crossed like a girl, eating an apple, and wanted to watch a movie......all while in his underwear!!!



 

That's not enough........here is more!

 

He couldn't get his shirt on this morning and was throwing a fit....anyone know why it wouldn't go on right???  I laughed so hard and then got him to finally calm down so i snuck a picture.....or 2

 

Tonight Everett has a baseball game, Ashton has one tomorrow, and then Everett has one again on Thursday.....Baseball, baseball, baseball!!!!  And I have had 3 photo shoots in the past 2 weeks and another in 2 weeks! 

 

and LEE has a BDAY tomorrow....the old man is turning 35!!

UMMMMM.......Bootcamp........?????

I LOVED IT!!!!!  I had so much fun!!!

 

On a not so great note, Everett's team lost thier game.  The boys never play great on a weeknight, they are to tired from a full day of school (not to mention ISTEP) and it showed last night.  They will do better next time.

 

Ashton's game is tonight!

So much time, So little to do.....Strike that, reverse it (Willie Wonka)

WOW!  Where do I start to catch everyone up????

 

Saturday's ball games were AMAZING!!  Cold and windy (but that is nothing new).  Ashton had team pictures at 8:00am.  He was in the first row kneeling and of course playing with his penis!  I had to holler out to him to "quit touching, leave it alone!" 

He had is game 1st at 9:00am.  Again, T-ball is T-ball and it is hilarious!  Chick does a great job though.  Hit each time off the coaches pitch, no T needed for this guy!

 

Everett had a double header again, 11:00am & 1:30pm.  He was playing 1st base in his first game and caught a fly foul ball, it totally amazed him and I was so proud I think I felt a few tears arising!!  Yep, I am the emotional mom.  He was beaming ear to ear.  The coaches really like him!  And his hitting.....Watch out!  90% of the balls he hit went foul and clear over to the field behind us!  I told Ashton maybe we should be playing over there!  But.....once he was able to straighten it out, Good Lord that kid can hit!  Doubles and Triples!!!  Probably could have made one a homerun but the 3rd base coach stopped him.  (Lee had to leave after his 1st game to go finish spreading mulch at a neighbors house)

 

When we got home Ev had a friend call and ask him to go out to dinner and the movies with his family.  They went and saw Iron Man 3.  Lee and I took chick out for pizza (his choice) and we get there and he doesn't want pizza!  Just like last week he fell asleep at the table.  Baseball is so tiring for him!

 

Sunday morning we all went to "church", they were having a breakfast so Lee came with us and then at 9:50am, Ashton's class was having his prayer service.  I told Lee to be in the church by 9:45am because it starts at 9:50am.  Guess who didn't listen and missed the prayer service????  He said he was watching the class room doors and didn't see anyone leave (5 classes left).  Good thing I video taped it!!  (Once I figure out how to upload it, I will put it on here)!

 

After Sunday school we went for a drive and guess who got a dirt bike!!!!  ME!!!!!!!!!  Lee had been talking to a friend of ours (the ones we go riding with) and he had a friend selling one.  Looks brand new and purrs like a kitten! 

 

Yesterday I started a 30 day challenge with 50+ people through an online workout/motivational group!  LOVING IT so far.  Have already made new "friends".  I had to make a video and post it as to why I am 100% committed to this 30 day challenge.......my answer was "I'm tired of alwasy starting over, I want to start it and finish it".  Then I had to take before pictures (you could either post them or didn't have too).....ummm gross, I chose NOT to post mine....didn't want to blind my new friends.  Tonight is my 1st boot camp night, the other 2 were cancelled because of the weather and last week I just really sucked and choose to sit in the neighbors front yard and have a few drinks instead of going.  My friend ratted me out and now I have 10 burpees waiting for me when I get there, UGH!!

 

Boys are back to swimming on Monday nights and let me tell you, we got some swimmers in this family!!  I am so excited, Everett looks amazing and Ashton is doing awesome.....when he isn't flirting!

 

Everett has a baseball game tonight and Ashton's game is tomorrow night.  Lee mows on Wednesday and Thursday nights and is keeping quite busy. 

 

I think we are all caught up!

ALLERGIES.....

Stupid tree pollen is tearin' me up!  I'm a hot mess!!   

 

Not much to report this week.  Boys are doing great!  Everett is on his 2nd round of ISTEP and school is over on May 28th! 

 

Lee is crazy busy again with mowing but I think he enjoys it!  Everett has been helping out too.  He likes to blow the grass off the sidewalks and driveway while Lee weedeats. 

 

Another long day at the ball fields coming up on Saturday.  Pictures at 8:00am, game from 9:00-11:00, 11:00-1:00, and 1:30-3:30.
