Happy Birthday Michael!!!

Michael's parents treated us to dinner tonight in celebrations of his birthday. Tomorrow night, his actual birthday, we're going to watch him play sand volleyball.

Instead of crayons, the place we went had wikki sticks for the kids to play with. Far more entertaining for my kids than coloring...

Mic & his boys.

Julian loves to dress up and he was so excited that he and Poppy matched.

Tate REALLY wanted Mama to "come to his house to spend the night". He even offered giving up his bed to sleep on the floor in his sleeping bag so she could sleep in his bed. He was very sweet hugging and cuddling on his great-grandmother.

Me and my sweet birthday boy!

Opening Day Ceremonies

Julian and Tate are both playing football this year. It was an extremely last minute decision for Tate. He was not going to do any sports, then he saw his brother at practice and said he wanted to play too. The PreK - K team had one spot left and now he's playing football, sort of. He kind of just does a little dance back and forth with his hands on his hips while blocking the other side (offense or defense). His first game is this coming Saturday and should be a lot of fun. To make it even cuter, one of his FAVORITE little girls will be cheering on the side lines.

Julian had his first game this past Saturday. Michael and I have really loved watching him play. Considering this was the one sport I said I would never encourage my children to play, I'm a little surprised how into the games we get at times. They are both great team players and very good sports.

Tate, Julian & Reese

Living in the same city as the Cowboys comes with some perks. All the 2nd grade boys were smiling SO big when the Cowboy Cheerleaders came out. It's funny to see them start to notice pretty girls.

And Rowdy was there as well.

So Long Summer

It's already the end of summer. The boys were SO excited to begin the school year. Julian started 2nd grade and Tate is in pre-K. We are so blessed to have sweet boys and they are absolutely as sweet as they look in this picture. This picture just warms my heart.
