Dumptrucks Rock!

I am finally feeling better! We kept busy this week. Ryan signed up for Muay Thai kickboxing. He loves it, but is super sore right now. Seth got to try his first attempt at the nun chucks at karate yesterday. Good thing they are foam, or else he might have a black and blue face. We also went to a Community Block party. They had a bounce house and rock wall for the kids along with food. I should have taken the camera, but didn't even think about it until it was too late.

Zac decided to eat pavement on Thursday. Ok, he actually fell out of the car when Seth opened the door. Doesn't he look so pathetic?
This is one of the boys favorite things to do in the back yard. The use the dumptruck like a sled. Seth pushes it up, and they both ride down. OR they take turns.

Summer's half done : (

I just realized that we have six weeks left until Seth begins kindergarden. Three weeks ago my asthma/allergies decided to kick into high gear making breathing difficult. They put me on meds for a couple weeks, and then last week when I went back with no improvement was given even more. It's frustrating because I want to run and play with the boys outside, and can't. At least Ryan is around this summer to play with them. It's good to see them all bonding. I am getting better slowly, it just doesn't seem fast enough for me.

We made sugar cookies. As you can see all the frosting ended up on Zac's face. He sure loves frosting. So much that he's figured out how to get the can of frosting out of the back of the refridgerater, open it and scoop out a bite with a spoon.
Seth with his belt of stripes that he earned the last couple months in karate. Zac wanted to be in the picture too.

Saturday was belt promotion day! Here is Seth doing the snake combo with classmates.

Here's Seth with his new belt! His sensei put the old one around his neck.

Seth with Sensai Alyssa. She is his favorite instructor. He thinks she's pretty.

This is a game that Zac and Daddy do all the time. We finally recorded it because it's so cute. Zac is saying so many new words. I can't believe how fast he is growing. Have a good week everyone!

Celebrating our Freedom!

We went to Subfest, the a carnival on the base, yesterday for our Fourth of July Fun! We went with some friends, and watched the fireworks on the baseball fields there. The view was excellent!
ac and Seth loved the Pirate ship! Ryan had gone on the zipper ride just before, so the ship really made him queezy.

Here are the boys with their friend Jeremiah.

We let the kids play in the sprinkler earlier during our BBQ. That's Zac with JT and Jeremiah. I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted this time: (

Every holiday we try and teach Seth why we celebrate, so when explaining to him about how we have freedom, and that people have died so we can have it. He cuts me off and says, "Yeah mom, but when do we get to see fireworks!" At least he likes to help put the flag out.
