The Itinerary

Link told me yesterday that he had a few things that he wanted to do with Mar FIRST THING!  First, he said, "I want to do this to her."  Then, he head butted me in the leg.  Not sure what the heck that was about.  Then he said he wanted to cover her with pillows and take a picture of her with his DS.  He did this to her last visit and she screamed and screamed which meant he laughed and laughed!  This morning he had his Toy Story Wii game all ready for her! 

Baseball Practice

Ethan had his first baseball practice yesterday.  His team was able to practice at his coach's church.  The very best part of being able to practice at his church is that we can sit right in our car and watch the whole practice.  In fact, ALL the parents can sit in their car and watch practice.

Which explains why my pictures are blurry.  Maybe Thursday will be warmer and I might get out of my car to get a better picture.....maybe.

Auburn Basketball

 Our friends, the Blaus, invited us to go to Auburn this weekend for their last basketball game of the season.

 Ethan was LITERALLY on the edge of his seat the entire game!  It was so fun watching his excitement.

 At one point, Nate pulled him over to explain a few things in the game.  

 And then....I grabbed him for a photo opportunity.

 They WON and he was soooo happy!

 David and Andrea took us for a walk through the campus.

We ended up at an old pharmacy that sells ice cream and lemonade.  We all shared a few lemonades and then headed home.  The fellas were so happy to spend the day with their friend, Aaron.  I am so glad that we were able to make it to a game this year while we are here!  

Not literally

(yelling into other room)
Me:  NATE, THE COLTS ARE CUTTING PEYTON MANNING!

Ethan:  Why would they cut him?

Nate:  He hurt his neck and they don't think he will be able to play this year.

Link:  But, why would they cut him?

Nate:  They don't want to pay him if he isn't going to play.

Link:  (with big eyes)  But, why would they CUT him.

Nate:  OHHHHHH.  They aren't really going to CUT him.

Homework

 Thursday afternoon, the weather was gorgeous!  Unfortunately, I have the laziest boys on the planet!  You think I am kidding, but I am not!  You should have heard the moans and groans when Nate and I told the fellas that they were going to ride bikes after school.

 Ethan is great at riding his bike, but he has difficultly starting and stopping.  He needs to practice.  

 He was so mad.  He actually said he wanted to go inside and do his homework.  Nate and I told them this was their homework!  RIDE YOUR BIKE!

 I even got out there and rode the scooter around.  It was such a nice day!

Nate and I were the judges.  If Ethan started and stopped his bike well, he was awarded points.  When he scored 100 points he could go in and do his homework.  We are such horrible parents!

Book Parade

Ethan dressed up as Honest Abraham Lincoln for his school's book parade on Friday.  Lincoln and I were  able to go to his school to watch the parade.  I videoed him walking across the stage, but he was walking so fast on the stage that my video was blurry!    He was so cute!

Helpers

 The last Monday of every month, Link and I deliver meals on wheels to twelve elderly people in Montgomery.  This past Monday, we had Lincoln's little friend, Greyson, with us.  The boys were so sweet and wanted to help out.  Link pushed the cooler to the car.

 Greyson passed me the newspapers every time we arrived at someones house.  

They even carried the food and paper to the door.  The last little lady smiled and smiled when she saw those cute faces!!!
