 Mom got us all sweet head bands this summer! Rockin' them here!

 Once the boys started school, Jimmy and I had two weeks to just hang out together! We went to the pool everyday!

 Jimmy is a tall kid for his age, and likes to prove it to all his friends. This is him measuring himself next to his buddy, Jace.

 After halftime, the high school football games are free. So we'd head over there for Friday Night Lights (and sometimes, friends came with us!).

These pictures makes me smile--he looks so much like Rob when he throws. Only difference: Rob bites his lower lip; Robbie sticks his tongue out. 

Dylan is like my own Latin teenage son! He's here everyday. I help him with homework. He'll come with us to the store. He tells the kids to stop fighting. We go to his soccer games. It's fun. The boys love him, and honestly, I think he loves them, too!

More of our "teenage" neighborhood "sons." Ty's team got to play during the halftime of the varsity soccer game (Dylan was playing). Rob had a late case and wasn't going to make it, but when I saw Michael, Ben, and Gio in the stands--I put them to work!

Gio's pep talk was seriously the best! The team had to end up scrimmaging themselves, so Gio motivated them with, "Today, you're not a team. Today, you're enemies..." Wow!

I found this cute letter to Rob from Ty--he gave it to him when he was in Vegas (so he was in Kindergarten). So sweet!

 Rob had to pick me up from a church meeting; he told Robbie to babysit for the whole 7 minutes he'd be gone. We walked in the door to find this! They found Jimmy's old diapers and thought it would be great fun to try them on and run around in them! Subtle hint: "Mom, I'm too young to babysit!"

 My boys got a good chunk of my haminess (lucky kids!)! For Spirit week, the kids were supposed to dress in disguise. This is what they came up with. Robbie's teacher told me he spoke in a British accent all day! Lol!

 I love the boys' school! They sponsored "Movies with Moms" one night! All the kids and moms came with their blankets and pillows...they had popcorn and candy and drinks, and then we just watched one of two G-rated movies! So fun! (My boys chose Home.)

I've been watching my neighbor's kids for her the past two months--just in the mornings. It's been nice to get $10 a day--amazing how much that helps! Still, it's been challenging for my kids. They fight a lot with Grant (in Robbie's class), so every morning there is drama. One day Grant hit Robbie, so Robbie chucked a ball at him! I would definitely consider Robbie a peaceful/non-confrontational kid, but Grant can seriously push buttons! He has to explain and go over rules (in a loud voice) for about 10 minutes (literally), and then pauses the game every 45 seconds to say how something wasn't fair, or to make a new rule. My boys don't really fly like that. They say, "Here's how the game works. Let's play!" If they think something isn't fair, they either make a rule then, have a redo, or punch each other. Simple stuff. :)
