Getting Ready to Play T-ball

Luke wondering what the heck is taking his big brother so long

Joshua in his uniform minus his pants... which we'll get later in the week since they ran out of extra small. He's very serious about t-ball and according to Kevin, he practiced well. Way to go Joshy!

Let's Play Some T-ball!

A Perfect Ending to a Long Weekend

He's so cute, but man he's a hot mess!

Luke checking out the bat... he's about to take it away from Joshua

The broom is still sufficient!

Hamming it up for the camera.

Luke's Turn

Luke = Hot Mess!

Me: What are you doing Luke? Luke: Messing up Daddy's paperwork

Luke: Oh, you're taking my picture, let me pose for you.

Luke: How handsome am I! Me: Considering your black eye, food all over your face and disheveled clothes - pretty darn cute!

Hanging at the Aquarium

Ellen and I took the boys on an adventure this weekend. We went to Chattanooga for 1.5 days. While the boys were a tad under the weather, they still had a blast. We went to Lookout Mountain, Rock City, the Aquarium, Imax Dolphins and Whales, the Children's Museum and swam at the hotel pool. These boys were worn out. I think Joshua's favorite part of the trip was watching the scuba diver feed the fish at the aquarium. It was nice to spend time w/ my big boy! Kevin and Luke hung out at home and were both in one piece when we returned - good job Dad!

The Night Before School Begins

The kids go back to school tomorrow, and our baby, Joshua, starts pre-K. Where did the time go! I can't believe he's in Pre-K already. I'm sure I'll be a mess when he actually starts Kindergarten.

Luke has a new deal - playing with chalk. Joshua shared nicely w/ the little monster.

Did I mention Luke's new deal is chalk, well apparently he likes to eat it too!

We had a fun-filled evening with the Webers. After swimming at the pool for a couple of hours, the Webers joined us for dinner. Kevin grilled out and I made a salad. Apparently, I make the best salads and I have been crowned the salad queen by the Webs. This is quite the honor. I tried to get a shot of the kids, but none of them were humoring me - go figure.
