Birthday Party!

Here's some pics from Keaton's Birthday bash. After I finally got the kitchen cleaned up from red buttercream icing, I didn't feel like cooking and cleaning up some more. So, we headed out to our local pizza place. When we got home it was time for presents and cake! Keaton enjoyed opening his gifts but Brayden thought he had to have his help. We then sliced the cake and that was it! A low key birthday but Keaton was super impressed with all of his Mickey decor. He loved all of his presents and cards....he really likes the ones that play music! So thank you to everyone!

The baby turned two today

Happy Birthday sweet Keaton! He really has changed so much over the last year. Although he's still a sweetheart, he's picked up a few things from his older brother and he can cause trouble all on his own. It's hard to believe the time has passed so quickly, but it has. Take time to look back.....

Fun in the sun!

Now that the summer travelers have gone for the most part, there's more beach for us. I took the little boys for a little while yesterday and we had a nice time.

The sky was really pretty yesterday. Wish I could have taken some more pics but I had to keep my eyes on the other two.

Keaton checking out one of the shells he found.

Sand surfing

soccer!

Brayden is starting outdoor soccer this fall in a league. He's been attending an indoor soccer/play group since early Feb. but now he's ready for the big time. Games start next weekend and I can't wait to see how he does. I think I'm going to be pretty busy with most sports from now until....well, whenever he decides to quit. I'm pretty sure he'll want to try everything at least once, because he loves just about anything involving a ball, so I will have to learn to scoot around from practice to practice and game to game. It will be interesting to see what Keaton picks up from his Big Brother. Games are Saturdays until mid-Oct. if you want to catch a game ;)

Austin has gone back

Back to school. He started last Tues. And yes, I am aware that was over a week ago and I am waaaay behind. It has taken us this long to get used to this new schedule. This year he has to be ready for the bus at 6 a.m. because they moved the start time up 45 min. and it really has been an adjustment. I really don't sleep that late, but in general, I prefer not to have to wake before 6 a.m. I know Austin does too. So this is about the only back to school picture we have because if you can see, it's pitch black outside and he was doing good to half way smile. Anyway, I hope 7th grade is a blast even though you have to get up so early dude. If you'd like to compare with last year, here's your chance to see how much he's growin' up!
