Happy 4th!

We went to a 4th of July Festival at Shelter Cove tonight. We got to watch the fireworks over the ocean.

Not a bad idea!



Gav and I decided to zip line!

It was pretty tame until the end when you hit full force and get flung way up!

Whoa!

Mrs. Smith got a really cool picture of us going down at twilight.

Adi and B came early and decided to enter the hula hoop contest.

First step, find a hoop.

"Like this Mom?"

"This is not going to end well..."

It was a disaster. B had no idea how to keep that thing up!

He didn't rage though. We were very proud!

He decided to try the trampoline instead.

He was just jumping along nice and easy.

It was driving Dad a little nuts so he offered him $5 just to try a flip.

Oh and he did...

He tried and tried and tried.

$5 + $5 + $5 + $5

He just kept going and going

and that kid earned $65! Nice work B!

Friends and Foes

Mom's bound and determined to help me be the best wrestler I can be. She's arranged for me to take lessons from our High School Coach (Coach Johns) this summer. Of course, I partner with my 65lb. foe Ryan. He is also my 65lb. best friend at wrestling so it's not so bad. Before we hit the mats and beat each other up, we spent today playing in the pool together.

Brownie brought out ingredients and helped us make home made ice cream! It was a bust because it was blazing hot out, but we don't mind drinking milk and sugar at all!

Dog Days

For most of us, summer is hands down our favorite season. Our furry brother does love having us around, but he is also heart broken every morning that Mom doesn't take him out to run.

Serious, deep, dark, doggie depression.

We try to comfort him. He's pulling through..

We call Morty to play and take him for walks and play fetch, but it's just not the same.

It's too hot for this boy to run much! Would you want to put down 10 miles in a fur coat?! 

Sorry Row. Fall is coming though! We'll be back to school and you'll be back on the trail in no time.

Alpha Male

Look, this is a house of boys. We are manly men who don't wear shirts and fart and burp and beat each other up.

There is one dude who is and always will be alpha and today was his day! We went to Tractor Supply Store and just picked up random stuff.

One of the items was a fancy toe grabber/drain unclogger. Another was a box of mosquito sticks. Yer welcome pa!

Even Row Row got him something. We all love Dad around here!

Mom surprised him with an Ancestry.com kit. He's been wanting to know where he comes from for years.

We sure are lucky to have this dude at the head of our circus.

He's a manly man who loves to have fun but keeps us all in line too.

Mom made him a cake and we helped decorate.

Happy Father's Day Alpha Male!

Boat Day

We got to spend today on the boat with Chloe's family. As usual, it was a blast! The grown ups got caught in a carp nest and everyone got bitten. Chase got bit on his nipple! That and B putting down a $30 steak dinner were the 2 big events of the day.

Phone Shenanigans

Car rides can be boring. Sometimes Mom get frustrated and just throws her phone at me and says "DO SOMETHING!" Taking pictures of her is something, right?

Come on Ma. Smile!

Dragon Family

Today was our annual Dragon Wrestling Club picnic. We spent soooo much time together last year that it really is like a family now. It sure was nice to see everyone again. We're looking forward to wrestling season!

Champions!

After a crazy season of dugout wrangling and soooo many lessons learned, the Majestic Nuts came in 2nd!

Nobody can beat us when it comes to hitting. Nolan and I hit at least one home run each game!

Nolan's Dad was an awesome coach. He made sure we had fun AND learned alot.

That's my new buddy Kasen. He calls me "99" which is my number only because 6,547,000 wasn't available.

Nolan and I became best buds over the season.

Mom said she loved our entire team. Even the stinkers!

We did have a great time, didn't we Team Mom?

I guess baseball isn't so bad afterall.

Oh and look who else was at awards! My buddy Mit came over to say Hi.

Here's to an awesome season full of big hits, big laughs and new friends.
