I can't believe all 4 of my boys are now old enough for Awanas!!! They started last Sunday.
We started Awanas on Brandt's 3rd birthday and here we are 6 years later with our #4 starting Cubbies. This year we have a Cubbie, 2 Sparks, and a T&T. I am amazed at the scripture memorization these boys do, even Brennan came home saying "God made the Heavens and the Earth" which was his verse for the week.
Today was our final day of Camp Vaughn. This has been a really fun week, and I am glad I got to do so many fun things with the little 2 guys. I fell really hard on my knee last night, and it is hurting pretty badly today. So I had to change our plans around, and as a result today was a pretty lazy day.
This morning the boys played the Wii for a while. Both the little guys usually default to the big guys on what game to play, so I think they enjoyed picking and not having to take turns. After that we took them to see Kung Fu Panda 2 in the movie theater. The only movies we usually see in the theater are the $1 movies during the summer, so seeing a new release was a huge treat for them. They loved the movie, and Brennan was clapping and cheering during the entire thing.
We pick the boys up tomorrow morning from camp. It has been a long week, but I am sure they had a great time. We have missed them like crazy, but very thankful for some sweet times with my little guys.
Today was Camp Vaughn: Day 4. I had a really bad headache this morning, so Dustin stayed home to help me. Bryson asked yesterday to play baseball again, so Dustin took them to the park this morning before it got too hot. The boys loved it, but they even started to get too hot after a little while. Dustin was pitching to Bryson, and then Brennan was hitting off of our tee. (The video of Brennan will not load).
After baseball we took to the boys to get donuts, which we usually only do on special occasions (like someone's birthday). After that we dropped Dustin's car off to get the oil changed and picked up a Redbox movie for the boys. They love getting to pick a movie out, and I loved the quiet afternoon laying around watching a movie.
After the movie we went back and picked up the car, and took the boys to Marble Slab to get ice cream. Bryson picked blueberry ice cream with almonds and Brennan picked bubble gum ice cream with sprinkles. We hadn't been there in a really long time so it was a special treat for them. All in all it was a much slower paced day than the others, but we still had a really fun day.
I am the mother of 4 crazy, fun, caring, loving, smart, silly, and compassionate boys. I am lucky enough to be on this wild roller coaster ride with my best friend. Join us as we continue on this never dull journey called parenthood...
Brandt
Brandt is 9 years old, and is in 3rd grade. He is a typical eldest child. He is such a sweetheart, fabulous at sharing, and mature beyond his years. He is incredibly intelligent and a perfectionist. He takes such great care of his brothers. He absolutely loves babies, and can not pass one without talking to it. He loves reading, baseball, and jogging with his daddy.
Brayden
Brayden is 7 and in 2nd grade. He is really reading well and gets very proud of himself when he learns something new. He has had a terrible time with ear infections. As a result has had 6 ear surgeries to date, with a possible 7th in his future. He is our sunshine and thunderstorm. He is so warm and caring, but if gets upset you better watch out!
Bryson
Bryson is 6 and so full of life. He is in Kindergarten, and really excelling. He has a zest and joy about everything he does. He is our family comedian and has us constantly cracking up. He is obsessed with baseball, football, or any sport really. He played t-ball and flag football this year. He is extremely tough, and very rarely cries even when he is hurt.
Brennan
Brennan is 3 and the caboose to our train. He loves baseball and football...really any sport. He is in preschool 2 days a week and hangs out with momma the other 3 days. He thinks he is just as big as the other boys. He is still super affectionate, which I LOVE. Hard to believe he is approaching his 4th birthday already.
