2015 Spirit Softball Game.

Gage's school has a spirit softball game in the Spring/end of the school year. It's so fun!

And this past year, the event also hosted a silent auction, with all of the proceeds to benefit Gage's little friend, H, who is still battling leukemia. (That's not him pictured above. H is a precious little girl who was too ill to attend the event.)

The kids made and sold bracelets and hairaccessories to raise money for H's medical costs. It was amazing to see these kids rally for afr

 ...and there was a flash mob. Loved it!

Front Yard Fun...

Oh, the Summer months brought outdoor sunshiney fun.

Why so few pics of Gage? Several reasons... he's getting older and more independent. He's able to branch out and get farther away from home and the lens of Mommy's camera. He's getting older and doesn't want his every detail of life shared with the world. This mama respects that. The day to day living of life and using this blog to keep up with friends and family---and because they ask me to keep posting and keeping a history of our little life...well, that is what keeps me coming back here to record the memories and share the memories and experiences. So...yeah. Here they are. If you notice less pics with him in them---just know that it's not because I love him less.
:p

Birthday Party Fun...

Who wants pizza and cake and trampoline fun? I do, I do!

Dodgeball is always a hit with these boys...

Why are all the pictures so blurry? Because these kids are FAST!

Oh, they had a blast.

Good times.... but these boys are growing up so fast!

Oh, I just love them.

Brother, wiping her hands and leading her into church...

Love, love, love!

Night at the Perot Museum

So, did you know that you can spend the night at the Perot Museum?
Well....you can!

I booked an overnight visit for Gage and Damon.
Their evening started with dinner at El Fenix.

 Then they headed over to the museum...

How fun to kind of have free-run of the place? Usually when you go to the Perot Museum it's so crowded with field trips that you don't reeeeally get to enjoy anything. Every path is blocked by 25 people. Every activity has a line. Granted, when you spend the night there---it's not just you, your kid, and dinosaur bones! There are others doing the same thing---but sharing with 100 people is a lot easier than sharing with a thousand. Just sayin'....

We are so lucky.

We are so lucky that our kids get along most of the time... Gage likes to put Eliette in his t-shirts and she loves it too.

These pics are from some random evening with a random toss game we taped out in the hallway. Boredom busters, yo.

 ...then of course there was the pretend campout....

 ...and the chillin' on the couch...

We are so lucky that they get along {mostly} and have each other. I hope it always stays like this.
