Orioles

The boys played T-ball for the first time in the summer of 2013.  I am finally posting about it the day before I sign them up for 2014.  

They loved it!  I loved seeing them in their uniforms.  There is just something so precious about seeing them in baseball pants that are too big for them.

Big Boy Bikes

The boys have been riding on two wheels for a long time.  We decided that their 6th birthday was a good time to get new bikes.  We made several trips to the bike store to find the perfect set of wheels.  The boys had their eyes on these for quite some time.  The bikes are big enough for them to "grow" with.  

Karate Kids

We celebrated Brennan and Braxton's 6th birthday at a local Karate dojo.  They invited all of the boys from their classes.  All of the boys had a blast!  I am several months late with this post and I am discovering that I did NOT take enough pictures of this amazing party.  Matt isn't in any.  Gigi and Papa T were here to celebrate and I missed that photo opp.  We DID serve cupcakes...I need to start making a list of the pictures I want BEFORE the event.  Maybe, then, I will capture a some more memories?

Twenty 6 year old boys sitting perfectly still.  I am pretty sure I would NEVER be able to make this happen.

Last Day of Kindergarten

The school year seemed to go on FOR-EV-ER.  The last day was pushed to June 27th because of the blizzard.  The boys loved everything about Kindergarten, especially recess.  I am amazed at how much they have grown physically, emotionally and academically this year.  We could not be more proud of our soon to be first graders!  

St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's Day is something to celebrate here in Scituate,  the "Irish Riviera".  We took the boys to the parade for the second year in a row.  They love waving at the people in the parade for candy and trinkets.  Matt took the boys shopping for some St. Patrick's Day loot.  They came home with mustaches.  They COULD NOT wait to put them on.

My little leprechauns

Colton @4

I am a bit overdue on this post.  Colton turned 4 on December 30.  We celebrated his big day while Grammy Sue and G were still here.  It is hard to believe that our youngest little man is 4.  Colton has had a big year.  He loves going to school so much that he gets mad at me when he doesn't have it.  He enjoys soccer, swimming and (sometimes) ice skating.  He is good at coloring, doing puzzles and he entertaining himself for long periods of time.  I am constantly amazed by his imagination.  I am also amazed by his strong will.    He has a great sense of humor and a very kind heart.  He LOVES his brothers and he loves his Daddy the best.   This little man melts my heart several times a day.

I am not exactly sure of how this story took place.  It happened a few weeks ago and the details are clouded.  I am pretty sure it went down something like this:

One of the boys asked us how old G was.  I told them that he was sixty.  At that moment, Braxton broke out into song.  He started singing "I'm SIXTY and I know it".  LOVE it!
