Update

We've been crazy busy moving (more on that next post) but here's what's been going on the past few weeks...

 

Football is in full force for Jackson Blayne!  The first month was practices 5 days a week 2 hours each which was exhausting, especially when school started!  He was a trooper and never missed a practice.  Not to say he didn't complain but, hey, who wouldn't?!  Having to wear all those pads in the 90+ degree heat and humidity of Virginia?  Not fun.  His first game is this weekend but as of now they have him playing safety and possibly kicker!  Two nights in a row we got to practice (which in and of itself is a feat because its so hard to get them all fed, homework done, and on the road in time), walked alllll the way over to his practice field (again, a feat, it's as far as you can get from the parking lot), get all seated AND...a storm comes and they cancel practice.  SO annoying!!!

 

I overheard Jackson and Tyce one night (when they were supposed to be reading) talking about how to get six packs, hahaha...

Tyce loves to read and this is him many mornings...

Lazy Sunday afternoon watching a movie and eating popcorn...

Anna Banana and I making cookies!  She was a great helper in charge of spilling the flour all over the floor and sneaking bites when she didn't think I was looking!  Haha, love this girl!!!

Poor Tyce took quite the spill on his bike.  His face, elbows, knees, and hands took quite a beating...

Tyce's fort...

The day before my birthday the boys thought WAS my birthday so they got up, made their beds, got dressed, and had breakfast all ready before my alarm even went off!  They were bummed they had the wrong day but since they were all up and ready early they got to ride their bikes to school with daddy, something they have been asking to do since the first day of school.  They loved it and also loved riding home.  Tyce said lots of teachers were asking him questions on his way home, I think they were worried about him riding home without an adult.  Jackson stayed by him the whole way (1.2 miles) and all was well! 

Friday was my 32nd birthday and I went out to dinner with Traci (her birthday is 3 days after mine so we always celebrate together) and Sarah!  It was a fantastic night and I loved celebrating with my two pregnant friends!!!

Josh's card to me...

SO sweet!!

Cake time!!!

Josh took Parker for a daddy/son day and Josh learned how to use chopsticks!  He was pretty proud...

Relaxing at the pool...

 

Josh had his first soccer practice this week.  His coach is a friend from our ward and his son, Josh, is on the team.  Our Josh's will have lots of fun together this season!  I LOVE watching Josh play soccer whether it's at practice, in the backyard, or in games.  Not necessarily because soccer is my favorite sport but he is fun to watch and you can tell how much he absolutely loves soccer!
