Tournament Cup

Spencer plays on a Men's Soccer team.  Every year they play a cup tournament against other teams in their division.  This year they killed the competition and got to take home the cup!!!

Good Job Boys!!!

 I think Eli and Ethan were more excited than Spencer about the trophy.  They had to show all their friends the cup, multiple times!!!

 Eli kept kissing the trophy, he thought it was soooo cool :)

Ethan could barely lift the trophy

ZOO

Spencer had the day off work and the boys were able to talk him into taking us all to the Zoo, to see the new Bear Exhibit.  It didn't take much convincing, they usually get whatever they want from their Dad, he's such a push-over :)

 Ethan & the Monkeys

 Ethan got tired really quick and wanted Spence to carry him around the entire day - such a Daddy's Boy

 This is as good as it gets when trying to get all 3 boys to pose for the camera :(

 Ethan loved the new polar bear. 

 Bronson & Daddy

 Ethan is as big as a juvenile Ape and Eli is as big as a female Ape, just in case you were wondering :)

Eli & Ethan

 Ethan's helping the neighbors water their lawn.  This is Ethan's little buddy Isaac.

 Eli thinks he's soooo Funny!!!

 Eli has finally learned how to tie his shoes, Yeah!!!

 Ethan loves to color on the sidewalk with his chalk

 Ethan being a big helper again with the broom

 Eli - 6 years old

 Ethan & Bronson love to play in the dirt with their shovels and tractors

 One morning I found Ethan had taken his cereal outside to eat in his car, silly boy!!!

4th of July

We had a rockin' good 4th of July!!

  We had a water party/BBQ at Grandma's house.  She just put up a brand new huge pool, which Ethan loved.  He stayed in the pool the entire party!!  There was also an adult and kids slip-n-slide, trampoline, and volleyball. 

After the party we took Eli and Ethan to the Real Soccer Game.  After the game they let everyone go out on to the field and they put on an awesome fireworks show.  Ethan plugged his ears during the fireworks because it was so loud but they both enjoyed it.  And it was a perfect end to a great day :)

 Lets just say Bronson didn't like the pool as much as his brothers!!

 Spencer doin' the slip-n-slide

 Bronson liked walking and slipping on the kids slip-n-slide

 King of the Pool

 Ethan and Daddy

 By the end of the day, Bronson had warmed up to the pool idea and came in with me for about 5 min. without screaming

 Here's Ethan, still in the pool!!

 Ethan loved his turtle tube, he kept giving him kisses, they were best friends :)

`

Bronson loves his Uncle Kyle and was so worn out, he just wanted to cuddle.

Happy 4th of July!!!

Like Father Like Son

Future Painters of America!!!

To occupy the kids one afternoon we gave them some paintbrushes and cups of water and they spent hours painting everything in the yard.  Ethan and Bronson kept spilling their cups of water everytime they bent over.  All the boys had so much fun drawing pictures and writing their names. 

 Bronson is taking a break from painting to mow the lawn!!
