Baseball

Luke's team won their game tonight which means they move on to the semi finals Monday night. Henry's team lost tonight so they are out.

Henry received the game ball tonight from his coach! Coach said he needed good guys in the outfield and instead of catching, what Henry usually does, he wanted Henry in the outfield. The opposing team had some really great hitters. Henry had two hits in a few good plays in the outfield. Coach Hogan praised Henry for taking that position without arguing or questioning his decision. I don't think the coach realized that Henry had cried to me about it. He loves to catch!

Can I just apologize right now for how behind I am?

This is my calendar and it has been jampacked! 

 I'll just start today and work backwards. Luke got an adorable haircut when the baseball games were canceled due to storms. His hair was incredibly long because we honestly not had time for a haircut.

 Here we are celebrating last night Luke's kindergarten awards. He won the math whiz award.

Aren't they cute!

We were so happy Marlowe could come to his awards day. She was an angel.

Grace and Eliza's third birthday party. Aren't they adorable

Field day

 Luke was so excited to get a bag of toys and books from Silas. We are currently on Roscoe Riley rules number four! 

Oh Henry please stop growing up so fast

An awesome day at Carowinds with the Keowee elementary school chorus.

 Some awesome kids museum Bryan found in North Carolina!

 And then there's baseball........

Well the season ever be over?

Fire!

I love how creative Nate is and I love that he thinks all the time about science and electricity.  He had a success after working all day, by choice (while Luke and Henry swam in the pool).  Can't wait to see what he does one day!

You've got a friend in me

Henry and Dawson had a duet in Monday nights Mayfest.  They did a great job! 

Honors choir presentation at Mayfest

What a great concert Monday night by 200 of Oconee County's finest Chorus students!  Henry was one of 11 in the county to be chosen to go to SC  Honor's Choir and he received a medal.

WMS Band Solo & Ensemble 2015

I was so proud of Nate today!  We travelled to Roebuck, SC (Dorman High School) to compete in Solo and Ensemble.  I didn't get to see the actual performance, but I did get to see this last minute practice.  They rated "superior" which is the highest rating you can get.  WMS has an awesome band program, thanks to Mrs. Gena Turpin!  Also, I love these band kids!  They were so much fun!

Weekend is here!

Last Saturday was a once in a lifetime experience for me, Nate and Henry.  We were allowed to tour the inside of the county nuclear station.

We visited Bryan's  office and the turbine deck. We also had a great time in the training simulator.

You had to be nine years old to do this so Luke couldn't. However he did have a great time with Marlowe and Deedee at Chick-fil-A 5K! 

 

Luke is following in his big brother Henry's footsteps and playing catcher. 

He scored his first run Friday night. 

Henry is doing great hitting the ball and catching. 

Clemson Color Run

We all five signed up to run in the color run this morning. It is the happiest 5K on the planet! 

Unfortunately Henry threw up five times during the night so I stayed home with him. The weather was horrible. It was a complete downpour.

The city of Clemson did not do a great job planning the traffic. When Bryan arrived in Clemson the road was blocked for the bikers during a triathlon.

He arrived too late to even run the race. That's okay though because who really wants to run in the rain anyway? They had a great time at the post race party and got soaking wet and covered with color!

The race group was very nice to offer us another race for free. We are going to run in September in Atlanta.

Turned out to be a great day. Henry is feeling better.

Henry's first hit of the season

Luke does magic

Merritt

Just had to add this awesome video of Merritt dancing in the streets of Mexico City! Can't wait to see them in just 6 days!

Keowee junior Beta Club

 

Being a mom to my 3 boys is so much fun.  They are all 3 so different, and I'm enjoying watching them grow into the men they will be.  Tonight was Henry's Beta Club induction.  This year Keowee Elementary included 4th grade (they are the only elementary school to do this) and Henry was thrilled to take part.

Sometimes Henry is so much like me that it's scary.  He thought it would be funny to do this and not only did he have the entire group laughing, but he had this very cool 5th grader doing it too!
