Mason is 6

Mason celebrated his 6th birthday on the 2nd.  He could not decide what to do.  We had it planned to go to the zoo again, but then he decided Sunday that he wanted to go to the Aquarium, oh, but then he wanted to go to Tracy Aviary, and then Wednesday night (the day before his birthday) he decided to have a party, with a pinata.  He wanted it on his actual birthday, but after a lot of tears and pouting, he agreed to have it on Saturday.  We headed over to the party store, picked out his pinata, and went crazy from there.  I'm glad he did the party because as quickly planned as it was, we still had a blast.  Here are some pictures:

Candy!

Blowing out his 6 candle

Mason's actual birthday!  We had brownies that Mason chose.  Jamison was dying to lite the candle he made at school and what better excuse than his brother's birthday.  We are all laughing about Trae's expression.  Total zone out to the flame.  His face doesn't change in any of the pictures I took while that flame was burning!

Once again, I am finding myself with a million things to blog about with not enough time and way too many pictures!  First lacrosse playoffs.  The boys won their first game, lost the 2nd, and lost the 3rd, thus eliminating them from the competition.  They were pretty upset about their loss, but there is always next year.  The 2nd game we were pretty disappointed in because the refs wouldn't give the boys a break between games.  They sent the boys over to play the 2nd game right after their first, with a team that had been resting for the past 2 hours.  They tried to hang in there, but ultimately were just too pooped.  The games were so rough and the other teams were getting mean, but our boys were willing to step up to the plate.  The 3rd game was an amazing game and they only lost by 1! 

Face Off.  Trae said this guy talked crap to him the entire game. Who's king now?  Oh dang, did I just say that out loud?

 
I think I should be upset with the knee, but it's the same kid as above!

 

 

Team Spirit even with disappointment

• Doors slamming

• Hole in wall

• Mason's hands tied behind his back with string

• Jamison hit in forehead with nerf bullet

• Jamison and friend tied up with rope

• Trae tied up with rope

• Couches moved

• Roman noodles spread through kitchen

• Hot fudge and strawberries found being eaten on my couch with fingers

• Mason falling off curb on bike and smashing the family jewels

• Jamison wearing lacrosse gear as war gear

• Lacrosse stick stolen from Trae and passed around like a ball in a strange game of keep away

• Slip and slides, wind, and cold hose water

• Towels strewn around the yard

• Clothes dropped and forgotten throughout entire house

• Nerf Gun war and when you run out of bullets you just toss the gun at you opponent 

• Dirty boys' bathroom... let's just say the word poop...

• Fighting

• Wrestling

• Arguing

• Whining

• Crying

• Laughing

• Playing

...... Must be a fun filled day of summer vacation in which Mommy and boys alike survived.

A little bit of Uncle Brandon's thumb sucking with a little bit of Uncle Brett's hair petting. Sweet baby bringing back sweet childhood memories. Wonder if we'll have to get Great Uncle Chris to offer him $5 to stop sucking his thumb, just like Uncle Brandon...

Isaac's 1st Birthday

Isaac is 1!  I can't believe it.  I love that boy like one of my own.  Brett and Cynthia did good!  He was the happiest little guy at his party.  He had zero interest in ripping open his presents, but he sure wanted to play with them when his Mama opened them up. Cynthia made him the most adorable monkey cake. The Judys (wish they could be here because we miss them like crazy!) and my family got him a little dino rider and I'm proud to say he loved it!  Cynthia says he loves biting the little dino buttons to make them go off.

Isaac and the boys romped outside chasing Grandpa's chicks most of the afternoon. Cracks me up that Grandpa got them  I hear he hid them in the garage for over a week from Grandma before Brett found them in there while getting out the lawnmower!

Sorry, tons of pictures, but this isn't even half!

Isaac didn't like the feel of the grass on his toes











 

Isaac figured out that he could tap the chicks on the bum and they would jump and run. He giggled and giggled about it.

The chicks loved Jamison.  They all climbed up there on their own.  This is the BEFORE picture...

 This is the AFTER picture!!

 Bekham wasn't too sure about all these little creatures, but he loved watching them run around.


















Too Old For Everything Trae couldn't help, but get in on the action.













 Caught sneezing! 

 Grandpa enjoying his family













Yeah, He THINKS....

Found Mason riding the motorcycle... The motorcycle that Jamison got when he was 2 from Grandma & Grandpa.  It is seriously the bike that won't die.  The kids love it!


















Sweet Bekham having some tummy time.

Exciting news for Trae, he has been asked to be on the Roy Lacrosse Playoff Team.  I think it is silly that you have to be invited, but that is how the board wanted to do it.  The boys lost a game and had a shutout game for the 2nd on Saturday.  Their last game (until playoffs) is this coming Saturday.

Penalty Box for Trae (I think there may be a problem when as a parent, you are excited to see them there.  Makes you feel like they are doing their job in the game)

 
 Face off time.

Trae was invited to do the Closed 800 Meter Dash at the last track meet.  It was such an honor for Trae, especially considering he is the only 7th grader that has been asked to compete in this race.  Things, sadly ended badly.  He tore his hamstring around the first bend, but he did race on.  So proud of him. 

Momma's embarrasing moment

Yep, I had one.  Usually it's my mouth that embarrasses me, but not this time.  I can't believe I'm even sharing this story, but it's too funny not too.  Okay, and maybe it is a have to be there moment, but you can courtesy laugh if you must.  Just laugh dang it!
Friday was Trae's track meet (pictures and info will be posted), last one to be specific.  I was standing there playing with the camera when I saw something on the ground.  On closer inspection, I realized it was a nursing pad.  I giggled to myself and thought how embarrassing for the Momma whom had lost it.  After a bit more thought, I laughed because it is the same kind I use.  (Can you see where this is going??).  And then the realization.... It was mine!! How in the hell did it escape and leap to the ground?  The only way I can figure it out, is that it would have had to shimmy up and then over the collar of my shirt.  My next train of thought leads me to wonder how long it took to work its way out and who all watched with horror as it did so???

Mason's conversation with me

Mason shaking fruit snack box....
Me: why are you shaking that?
Mason: Can you hear that?
Me: Hear what?
Mason: The prize.
Me: There is a prize in fruit snacks? I thought the snacks were the surprise. What do you think is the prize?
Mason: It's a laptop!
Me: How did you figure that out?
Mason: Well, it says right here on the back of the box.
Me: That's awesome. We should buy more boxes. But how do the laptops fit in there?
Mason: **rolls eyes**

If You Give a Mom a Muffin....

My boys and I love the If You Give... books and had to share this adorable poem based on them.  
Happy Mother's Day to all the Mothers!


If You Give a Mom a Muffin

If you give a mom a muffin,
She'll want a cup of coffee to go with it.
So she'll pour herself some.
The coffee will get spilled by her three year old.
She'll wipe it up.

Wiping the floor, she will find some dirty socks.
She'll remember she has to do some laundry.
When she puts the laundry in the washer,
She'll trip over some snow boots and bump into the freezer.
Bumping into the freezer will remind her she has to plan supper for tonight.

She will get out a pound of hamburger.
She'll look for her cookbook. (101 Things To Make With a Pound of
Hamburger.)
The cookbook is sitting under a pile of mail.
She will see the phone bill which is due tomorrow.
She will look for the checkbook.

The checkbook is in her purse that is being dumped out by her two year old.
She'll smell something funny.
She'll change the two year old.
While she is changing the two year old the phone will ring. (Of course!)
Her five year old will answer it and hang up.

She remembers that she wants to phone a friend to come over for coffee on
Friday.
Thinking of coffee will remind her that she was going to have a cup.
She will pour herself some.
And chances are,
If she has a cup of coffee,
Her kids will have eaten the muffin that went with it.
