Dads Night Out

Tonight, after 5  Dad's Nights Out,  Zak went to his last Dad's Night Out, with Chase.  It was bittersweet.  Chase was so excited to have him at school with him and show him around.  They had such a fun time.  I ran into them at the book fair coming in to set up my class and Chase kept trying to get me to leave.  This is such a special night.  Dad doesn't always get to be at school, so it's fun to see a  school full of involved dads and kiddos having fun! And, who'd have ever thought that 15 years ago, when David and Zak were college roommates that they would be at Dad's Night Out together with their kiddos!?!?!  My how times have changed. 

Bring a friend...

Last Monday was "bring a friend to gym" day and Chase of course asked Braxton to come.  They had so much fun together.  Coach Mike asked me after warm up if they were best friends and I told him they were great buddies.  He said they held hand trying to balance on one leg and it made him laugh. I don't know how I missed that!  Jackson takes gym at the same time so it was fun to watch all three of them.  

 And... 

a little more silliness from these two bed buds!

The Shack

We are thankful for good friends and lots of awesome memories!  Zak and I's date night turned into a family and friends night.  We had the best time hanging out with everyone last night at The Shack!

Proud of this guy... #8

Colton had THE BEST game on Saturday! He hit a double and a single and scored his first run of the season, sliding into home.  Then, twice in a row he made awesome plays catching the ball and tagging players out at third to save the inning.  It's so much fun to watch these games.  The kids are really learning the game and getting good at it too,  unfortunately, we lost the game by one but the kids played so hard and had fun.   Way to go #8!

Bus Stop

The fun just doesn't end on our street.  The kids even have a blast together at the bus stop.  

FOOTBALL!!!

I wanna be a teacher

So, for as long as we can remember we've asked Chase what he wants to be when he grows up.  His response is always the same, "Nothing!  I don't wanna be anything when I get older."  A coupe of weeks ago they studied community helpers at school.  He told his teacher he wanted to be a teacher.  When he got home we talked a little more about it and he said, "I wanna be a teacher just like you when I get bigger!"  

Melt my mommy heart!
