The Tball Experience

Well, this summer I had so many fun things planned out for the boys to keep them busy.  After swimming lessons, I learned that I probably will wait one more year to put Trey in a structured sport since he is so busy and loves to do his own thing.  Then, after t-ball, we decided Cohen needs to have another year to appreciate the opportunity to do these fun sports.  Let's just say that Cohen did not find t-ball very fun AT ALL.  It was just way too boring and he would rather be doing something else.  He was seriously that kid out in the out field doing somersaults,  picking grass, putting his head in his glove, and even running off the field to ask us how much longer he has to go through this torture.  No matter what we did or say, we could not convince him to stay out there and be ready for the ball because his team really needed him.  Now, everyone who knows me understands how hard this was on this mommy who LOVES to play sports and COULD NOT WAIT until she could start watching and teaching her own children a thing or two.  I think I might have to wait for Trey to get older.  I am hoping he will fulfill my "competitive sports" need.  



Trey loved to share his snacks with the team :/ He also loved to run out in the middle of the game too!


He is so stinking cute.  He hasn't really learned the meaning of the word hustle yet, either.  He's so funny just trotting down the bases.

Cohen's Preschool Graduation!

Cohen graduated from preschool at Nampa Christian on May 20, 2015. He loved it there and we loved that school.  He was so excited to go to his graduation.






They were talking about their school, singing songs, and waiting to get their diplomas.

 Got it! 

 Icecream social time.


 Our little celebration at home with cupcakes and soda!  


Swimming Lessons

So, I put both of the boys in swimming lessons in May. They were private lessons so I thought it would be great.  Cohen was awesome and he loved it.  She got him to do so many things that he has never done before. Trey, however, would not listen to hardly anything…hence the reason you see me in the water.  Yep, every lesson I had to get in because of that Trey boy.  She was a rather young instructor and it was kind of funny to see her reaction of "surprise" when Trey would flat out tell he no after she tried to give him instructions to do something.  I don't think she really knew how to handle that boy :/




Random Happenings March-April 2015

So many things we would like to do; however, so little time.  That is the story of everyone's life, right? All of our spare time is consumed by projects around the house.  We try to squeeze in fun things here and there each month…

This boy is rarely up to any good. Learning after only the best in this picture.  This is not a mom trick either :)

Daddy made Cohen this sweet bow. He was so excited.  It works great!

This picture shows you one of Trey's favorite things to do…CLIMB! He climbs everything.


Cohen loves to be with his Daddy. Occasionally, Scott will take him to work with him for the day. So awesome. 


We got to make a trip to the aquarium. This is one of Cohen's favorite places to be.  This time he got to try something new and feed the birds. 


The boys love to go outside and help their Daddy work.  The outside is ALOT of work!

 This is in preparation of the new lawn in front. YAY!

Of course, the boys love to hang out and watch TV together.
Until next month...

My Handsome Boys

These were the boys Easter outfits that they didn't get to wear that Sunday since it was General Conference. They are so grown up!



Easter 2015

Wow. All I can say is there was a very nice and generous Easter bunny for my boys this year. Since I am so behind on my journaling, we will see how many details I can pull to the front of the memory…

The boys (including Scott) waiting to see what the Easter bunny brought them...





Trey LOVES to hunt Easter eggs. It is probably for the fact that there is candy found in some of those eggs.  Yes, the Easter bunny decided to let them have candy this year.  I guess the bunny ran out of time and couldn't make the home made kind ;)


 All ready to go to Grandpa and Grandma Larsen's house for some Easter dinner.


The boys and their Grandpa. Unfortunately, Jan wasn't feeling too well and didn't want to take pictures.

 Three generations...

It was kind of weird this year. General conference fell on Easter Sunday.  So, the boys didn't get to wear their Easter outfit until the next Sunday.
