Last Day of School

Trent 4th Grant 1st
Time goes too fast!!

T Dog is TEN

 This cute guy has been soooo excited for his birthday!!  He had a "PLAN" a month ago!! 
Woke up with the birthday blanket at 6:20!  (He said he had been up since 5am)
His new I-Pod case did not fit! 


Doughnuts!!



Last Day of School!!  (makes me feel weird time is going so quickly) Yes Grant is wearing Trent's new outfit! Trent does not love orange, so Grant bought these clothes from him!!

I picked up Trent, Grant, Payton and Parker at 10:15! We came back to our house to get Dad then headed to the Pizza Pie Cafe!  After that Dad and the boys went to the Legacy Center and played some B-ball! 


Lowes Airsports

After Lowes we dropped off the Armstrong boys and picked up the lizard!  Dinner at the Olive Garden!  No cake, we went to the Orange Leaf! Grandma Gayle and Grandpa John came back to our house for presents!  Grandma let the kids blow up a few Diet Coke's with Mentos and they watched The Last Air Bender!  WHEW, what a wonderful day!!!

Trent was explaining to Payton that his Great Grandpa Stanton was coming to dinner and said that he (Trent) was birthday buddies with his wife who passed away last year!  I laughed at the way he worded it all!!  Cute!!  Then at dinner Grandpa Stanton asked my mom if Lizzy was Trent's girlfriend! I got a kick out of that too!  He said she was a really cute girl!!

Becker Business

A few things I want to remember:
I sent Trent down to wake Grant up!  Grant came up surprisingly quick!  Sitting at the counter he said, "Mom Trent said it is field day today!" I had to tell him it was not!  He was ticked off!!  We worked through it, Grant calmed down after being furious at Trent!  When I dropped them off at school Grant smiled at me before closing the door and said, "Maybe it is today!"  I needed that smile from him!!

After playing with Austin at Jill's house, Blake got in the car to come home!  Half way home he says, "Mom I didn't get any time with Jill!"

Trent's basketball shoes had holes in the front and sides!  We took him to get new ones! I love when things get truly used!  I was so excited to throw those babies away!!

Lydia loves her brothers!  She wants Blake to do everything with her!  He was talking about his name the other day! She said, in the cutest voice, "Your name is Blake er!" Really emphasizing the two syllables!

Lydia is very polite!  I hear "Thank you mommy" alot and love it!!!

Lydia was reading her Jesus book to me the other day!  She opened the cover and pointed to a bird, "Jesus made a bird." She was narrating each picture.  Jesus with a little girl, "Jesus holding hands with a cutie magootie!"  I laughed because I say cutie magootie all the time!

Lydia was telling me that she played dolls with Cambri! Lydia was the mom and Cambri was the honey bunny!!  I cracked up again because I say that all the time!  I heard them playing and got to hear Lydia saying it to Cambri, again wish I had video taped it!!

Josh told Blake to be careful that he didn't want him to get hit by a car! Blake turned around and said,  "Don't worry, I will be resurrected dad!"

After the bird show at the zoo I asked Blake what his favorite part of the show was.  He said, "The birds!"  When I was done laughing he narrowed it down to the white birds!!

I should not put this but Blake really wants me to!  Lydia would not sleep one night! Finally 3am I took her into my bed!  She was in the middle and Josh was snoring!  She sat up and said, "Mom, move over I need your spot, Dad is noring!"  I told her no that I didn't want her to roll off the bed! But I made the mistake of laughing! Then she said, partly laughing herself, "Mom, move over I need your spot Dad is farting!"  He wasn't, which made it even funnier!!  She does not use that word, so I couldn't help but to laugh!!

Kittens

On Friday, April 26th Josh found a 4 day old kitten on the property!  It was under some trees that had been cut down and crying! He climbed under the trees, found it, and ran it to the Vet!  The Vet said, it has a full tummy and to put it back to see if the mom will come get it!  In the meantime the kids got very excited to bottle feed this little thing Josh found!  We thought we would keep it for a week or so then give it to Aunt Brittny, who loves cats!!!  Josh ran to PetSmart before Nick's graduation dinner at Texas Roadhouse to get the bottles and milk!  On our way home from the dinner we went to the property and there was the mama with the baby in her mouth!  Josh and Brittny were happy (because it is best for the kitten) I was sad because the kids wanted to see it and feed it so badly!  I was really SAD!!  (Funny because I don't like cats:-))

Found out the Coveys had kittens and ran the kids over to see them!! 
Lizzy, Trent, Lyd, Cambri, Grant, Haylee

Blake's Graduation

Blake's Graduation!  Our little Blake sang more than at the Christmas Concert, but still was not thrilled to be performing!!  Precious guy, just like his dad, robe and flip-flops!





Blake could not wait for Miss Tanya to finish sewing these owls!  He would ask her everyday about sewing! He truly could not believe she could sew! He thought that "rocked!"  I substituted the class one day and while the kids were doing individual activities, Blake looked at me and said, "Mom, do you think you should go sew?"  Everyday he would ask Tanya if she was planning to sew after class!  She let him pick his colors out and he was thrilled!  The night she finished the last owl she texted me to see if it would be ok if she called Blake! I had her call Josh's cell phone!  She said Blake needed to be the first to know!  These darling owls were and are so important to him! 


 Grandmas came!!
  A little ice cream for the big bros!! 
Grant, Cort and Trent
Grandpa John was there too!!

 We love Miss Tanya!!
 We love Maddy!  Maddy loves Lydia!!
And then he fell asleep with the owl!!
