The Big Slide and Go-Carts

On Saturday, we took the boys on the big slide and go carting. Justin had promised Tyler he could go down the BIG slide. Justin had bought the boys enough tickets so they could go down the slide five times, but Garrett was done after the first time. Tyler loved the slide and went down six times and Garrett went down four times. Garrett thought the go-carts looked more fun than the slide did.
Tyler rode down on the blue slide and Garrett went down the yellow slide. Garrett would start out sitting up, but by the time he got to the bottom, he was on his belly, feet first.

After the slide, we rode the go-carts for one ride. Garrett rode with Justin and Tyler rode with me. Justin said Garrett was laughing and having fun.

Tyler had fun driving with mom. We laughed the whole time. We were the first ones on the track and we stayed in that position. Over all, I think the boys had a fun first time on the go-carts.

Miley's Dog House

Justin has been a busy little construction worker. He built Miley a dog house a couple of weeks ago. He designed it, and built it all by himself. It is even insulated! The inside has wood on the walls so Miley can not eat the insulation since she chews on everything! Tyler helped his dad hold the wood while he was cutting. Tyler also helped mom with the painting. He is such a good helper! He even tried to convince Miley to climb inside her new dog house. She sometimes goes into her house. We just need to keep encouraging her.

Garrett in the Dirt

This past weekend, we worked on digging up sod so we can build a patio in my parent's backyard. Tyler helped us work, while Garrett played. I ran inside to start dinner and Justin yelled for me to come outside because Garrett had buried himself in dirt. Of course, he had moved by the time I got back with the camera, but he did pose so I could get a picture of him all dirty in the dirt. My boys do not know how to stay clean! They see dirt and they have to go dig and play in it. I guess boys will be boys...

Mother's Day Surprise

Tyler made me a couple of very cute mother's day gifts. He made me a ladybug card at Sunday school and a very cute poem with his handprints at preschool. I am very blessed to have such cute, sweet boys, even though there are times they will drive me crazy. I love my boys!

Tyler's Spring Soccer

This spring Tyler is playing soccer again. His team is called the Blue Ponies. I have to laugh though, because his jersey color is green. Justin gets a little frustrated with me because at the games, I yell "Go Green Team, Go!" instead of yelling "Go Blue Ponies, Go!". Yelling "Go Green Team, Go!" seems more appropriate since it is the color of their jerseys.

Tyler is funny. He loves to run and kick the ball. A couple of times, we have had to remind him this is soccer, not football. At the beginning of his second game, he was pushing and shoving and yelling "Take them down!" I do not know where he got that behavior but he was better behaved after mom explained that is how football is played, not soccer. He is now doing great. It is fun to see how much he has improved from a year ago.

Garrett the Dare Devil

Garrett has no fear! When we were at Tyler's soccer game the other day, Justin was swinging him up on the scooter. The more air he got, the bigger the smile. Every time Justin stopped swinging Garrett, he would say, "again, dad, again." I am in sooo much trouble when he gets older. Last week when Garrett was swimming with his grandmas, aunts, and uncles, he jumped into the pool before anyone else. He likes to jump high, go fast, and blow his hair back.
