Field Day Fun

Field Day Fun - more hola hooping

I'm afraid one day it may be a problem, but for now I just love hearing Luke say "No". The way he wrinkles his nose and says it sort of whiney, too cute! Yes, I may be creating a problem for myself, but I don't care!

Diploma time

That is Luke you hear squealing "yea" in the background.

Preschool Graduation Today!

Henry has been attending Golden Corner Preschool for 4 years!! Tonight was his graduation and it was a very special night shared with his family & grandparents.
Here is Henry with his first teacher, Mrs. Leesa. Henry joined Mrs. Leesa's class when he was 18 months old & she has been a special friend since. Luke will be in Mrs. Leesa's class this fall! Henry & Nate with Dillon & Chandler

I've been meaning to post this video of Nate & Henry on Easter Sunday at Nana's. Pretty cool, huh?

Nate's backflip

We've been so busy the last few days with end of school activities & baseball I haven't taken time to blog. We did escape to the lake for a few minutes this afternoon and I caught Nate cutting a backflip off the inflatable.

Happy Mother's Day

My motto for the day is :

Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and realize they were the big things!

Happy Mother's Day!

Brothers

A few pictures from the week!

Hiding out with Luke in the Chick fil A playground!

Baseball tournament at Sertoma Field! Beautiful weather, lots of fun even though Bryan missed it because he was working.

Luke posing with Nate's baseball team. He absolutely loves Bobby (our coach & friend). He talks about Bobby all the time. What a great looking baseball team!

Luke & Nate having lots of fun together.

Happy Birthday Silas!

Hope you have a very Happy Birthday Silas! We love you!

Who wants to go to Yoshi's?

Brothers

Nate was scared. Thunderstorms were outside & he ran to my room crying. We went outside to see the rain & know that it was a good thing then I lay with him for a few minutes hoping he would be okay. Then, we heard Henry snoring. So loud. I said "do you want Henry to sleep with you?" "Yes!" So I picked Henry up asleep and said "Nate wants you to sleep with him." Which I'm sure made Henry happy even though he was sound asleep. These sweet brothers. I love them so much!

More Marlowe!

I can't seem to get enough of her! How about you?

Marlowe James Powell

Marlowe was born today weighing 7 pounds 7 ounces, 19 1/2 inches long and absolutely perfect! We love you sweet girl!

Henry and the spider

Henry's teacher called today for me to pick him up early because he had been bit by a spider. I actually wasn't very worried, but she said Henry was trembling & in pain & I think she was a little concerned. Being the overreacting parent I am, of course I took him straight to the Pediatrician's office. He's fine now, Thank You Lord, and I have learned lots about spiders. Dr. Bean said it was probably a wolf spider (see above), I would be trembling too!
He was well enough to play his baseball game tonight, but he still says his leg hurts and the marks are still there. By the way, this isn't the actual spider that bit Henry, he didn't kill it because he wanted it to live. This is just a picture of a wolf spider off the internet.

e-i-e-i-e take one

Baseball Season

Monday night was Nate's first baseball game and it was loads of fun! He also had a game Tuesday night. Henry has his first tball game Thursday night and another one Friday night. Whew! Too bad I don't really like baseball, huh? Well, I do like anything my boys are participating in. Here are a few pics from Monday.

John Daddy & Dee Dee entertained Luke with an icee & tractors in the sand.

Henry showing off that first loose tooth! Yippee! Henry's gonna be a snaggle tooth before he goes to kindergarten.
