Promotion to LTC

Thanks to modern day technology, we got to be "present" for James' promotion today. Our view on the big tv through FaceTime.

 

 

And the real pictures from the ceremony:

 

 

You have worked very hard and earned every bit of today's honor James. We couldn't be more proud of you. We love you!

Another Relaxing Weekend

With Maddox being sick all last week and soccer being cancelled due to rain, we got another relaxing weekend. This homebody has been spoiled the last 2 weekends other than the sick kids part.

Macen has been all about the Star Wars Legos lately.

 

A little rough housing which Maddox completely loves.

Really...

Macen spent nearly all last week wiped out before finding out he had strep.

Hopefully I'm not going down the same path with this one. He spent hours and hours on my lap today with a fever and vomiting. This really isn't our month.

Good Weekend

Apparently the only time we can slow down and regroup is when we are quarantined to the house by a sick kid. We had a very relaxing weekend playing, organizing the house and enjoying the nice weather.

How appropriate Macen was wearing his Batman shirt too.

 

We walked to Sonic and got some ice cream.

Soccer

 

I  forgot to post these last week. Macen had his first game last weekend. This year its a little more serious. They do 4 on 4 and keep score. Lightning got in some goals but nothing like the other team.

 

Soccer games will fill our Saturdays up for awhile.

The Circus ...featuring Dragons

We went to the circus yesterday and the boys loved it. Maddox had his serious face on most of the time with his eyes darting from one thing to another. Macen kept saying wow. They featured dragons this year so I knew Macen would love it. And of course along with dragons, means ninjas. He LOVED watching all the ninja moves.

 

We had front row seats so the boys were able to see everything going on.

 

This is motorcyclists riding inside the sphere. I don't remember it from last year and in fact, I think I remember hearing they stopped performing this because of the accidents. Well they managed to get 8 cyclists in there, without incident. Kinda crazy with them weaving in and around each other.

The elusive dragon appeared at the end and the boys watched intensely.

Waiting
