Day with Grandparents

My mom and dad came over and spent the night. We all got up early and the boys headed off to lake conroe while Grandma and I went shopping and out to lunch. The boys returned home with 15 catfish. What a fun day!! I enjoyed time with my mom and I know the boys loved being with Grandpa!!!

GOLF, GOLF AND MORE GOLF

We are doing Little Linksters agin with STPGA and loving it. Nicholas placed 1st and then 2nd on his first two tournaments at 9 hole mods and was bumped to the red tees (top spot in his age group). A whole new world. He is one of the youngest in this bracket and can not have a caddy. Yesterday was his first tournament to pull his bag and Daddy sit in the cart. At Lake Windcrest the boys are doing a golf season where they are broken down in ability groups and have a clinic every week and a tournament every week. The tough thing is they are in the afternoons (yesterday it was 104 degrees, UGGGG!!!)

I sure love watching my boys!!! We are so blessed that our daddy can come to the tournaments and is such an inspiration!!

Matthew is such an awesome little brother. He watches all of Nicholas' tournaments helps keep score and cheer him on!

The best caddy!!

Summer Reading

Summer is here and all the neighbor hood kids are home. Trying to do school can get tough. So I decided to start a incentive with another little girl and my boys if they hurry and finish their chapter books I will take them for ice-cream. Well 5 more kids heard about our trip and so I made another incentive if they finish another book I would take them for pizza. My boys have never read so much, in the line at the post office, in the car, at breakfast- just for pizza?? I love it. The neighbors are also coming over for our read aloud (now it is Sign of the Beaver). We are having so much fun. The kids also finished the libraries incentive. So now if the kidos hit my goal of 500 pages we are all going to Incredible pizza. The kids are also enjoying answering the quizzes from www. bookadventere.com.

Family weekend.

We had a wonderful visit with Tracy's brother and his family. They came in town on Thursday and we swam Friday while the big boys went fishing and caught us dinner for Sat. (15 catfish). Sat. We went to Matthew's flag football game and then went to the YMCA water park. The cousins all had a blast playing and riding their bikes! On Sunday we visited a family integrated church that they had read a book that the Pastor had written and wanted to check out. It was a wonderful experience. The children stay with you though the entire worship experience. We went to Hooks airport for lunch afterwards. The kids loved playing outside and watching the planes take off and land.
