Temple Run

 We were at Robbie's soccer game in the morning, but as it's Ty's favorite thing in the world to run, we had to leave early so Ty could race. This was him last year (dominated, as you see!)

 And, here we are with Royal's pitcher, Jeremy Guthrie. So weird that it's my old roommate, Amber's brother! She used to talk about him all the time (before he was big-time).

 Jimmy getting pumped for his race, too.

 Jimmy ran in the 5 and under division. (He's in red)

 LOVE this picture! He took 4th overall! So proud!

 And then Ty's race.(He's on the far right in blue)

 Needless to say, he whomped on them all again and took first by a landslide!

Jeremy gave Ty a signed ball.

The Eagles

Jimmy played his first soccer season, scoring 3 goals! He was so cute! Though I have no footage of his goals (I never get the boys in good action), I do have these little videos! He got clobbered (he was a year too young to play), but he had a great time!

Robbie's Got It

I'm telling you, I am breeding the world's most amazing future husbands! My daughter-in-laws are gonna owe me BIG time! :)

On Mother's Day, the boys wrote 5 things they loved about me. It's obvious by their responses that they are slowly being groomed to perfection, year by year.

Jimmy simply said baseball. (He needs a little more training.)

Ty's were very sweet and thoughful.
1. She tacks good car of me
2.My mom is nis
3.She is thotfl
4. She clis my room
5. My mom heps me.
(He was rushed and under pressure--he is actually a pretty good speller).

Robbie Nailed It.

1. She is nice and kind
2. She does lots of kisses
3. She helps me
 (and here is where he starts getting in the zone...)
4. She's beautiful
5. She's skinny

How smart is he!? You can never go wrong with those answers. The babes are gonna go crazy over this guy! "Tell me more, Robbie! Tell me more!"

Jimmyisms

"When I grow up, I want to be a dad. But NOT a married Dad!" Awesome aspirations, right!? He's totally freaked out about marriage. NO, its not because he's seen how I treat Rob and fears for his life, by the way... he says its because "everyone looks at you." I'm guessing he still remembers Aunt Debbie's wedding. :)

"Mom, I have a cold, but it doesn't make me cough...it makes me talk too much!" He's like his mamma. Pretty much everything makes me talk too much, besides sleep!

One evening, we were all outside on the patio playing 20 questions. Once he'd seen enough rounds, he said he was ready to go.

"Is it a person?"

Jimmy: "Nope!"

"An animal?"

"Nope!"

"A place?"

"Nope!"

"A Toy?"

"Nope!"

"A food?"

"Nope"

"Some kind of movie character?"

"Nope"

"A book?"

"Nope"

"Jimmy, do you even know what it is?

"Nope!"

We all busted up laughing...well, except Jimmy!

But, the next round, he nailed it! He chose a platypus and had us stumped!

Jimmy did something he shouldn't, so I told him he had to go inside for a long time. He started crying and said, "Mom! I don't want to stay here till I'm a grandpa!! I don't want to die yet!"
I started busting up laughing!

Ty: "Jimmy, did you sleep well?"
J: "I slept HORRIBLE! My bed...it just so, so...sociaful!"  No clue, but sociaful is definitely not a comfortable thing!
