Renaissance Time Again

Yesterday was the big boys 2nd Quarter Renaissance Assembly.  It was a football themed assembly and both boys earned a gold card again!!  I'm so proud of them and their hard work!

Christmas Nativity Play

We have been going to a new church this past year and the boys are really enjoying being there and learning all about Jesus.  I was a little worried because it is a pretty big church, but it seems like a very good fit for our family.  Every year this church puts on a living Nativity Play and the boys wanted to be a part of the choir (along with their cousins).  Next year Tucker said he would like to be a Shepherd or a sheep!

Renaissance Time Again!

I'm very proud to report both of my boys earned another Renaissance card for the first quarter of school and the both earned the highest card again.  Tucker was a little worried that he wouldn't get a gold card again because 3rd grade is tough and they changed up some of the requirements and made it even tougher to earn one, but his hard work paid off and he did indeed get his Gold Card. 

 

Before the cards were given out, they passed out trophies for the kids in each grade that ran the most amount of laps during the FUNd run and Trey earned a trophy.  (It was a 3 way tie in 2nd grade!)

So proud of his trophy

After he got his gold card!

He was even picked to do the game, which was eating a 'campfire'

Tucker...despite his grumpy face in this picture, he really was happy to earn a gold card.

Trey was so excited!  This was the first trophy that he actually earned, not just given for participation, but actually earned...makes it even more special!!

1st Day of School 2013-2014 School Year!

 I know I'm a little late, but at least I got this post done before the first half of the school year is over!

Tucker started 3rd grade this year and Trey started 2nd.  They were super excited about the school year and have been great students so far this year!

The didn't want me to walk them to the bus stop this year...*tear* they are getting so old!!

Big Boy Summer Baseball

The big boys had a great baseball season this past summer.  Here are a couple of pictures of them playing.

They are so stinking cute!

Me and my baseball all-stars!

Last day of the 2012-2013 School Year

The last day of Tucker's 2nd grade year and Trey's 1st grade year was a pretty good day for both of them.  They each earned another Gold Card.  And of course I am so proud of them for all their hard work!

3rd Quarter Awards

I'm proud to share that both of my big boys received another Gold Card at the 3rd quarter Renaissance Assembly!  Not only are they good little athletes, but are awesome students too!!

Another Renaissance Assembly

The boys had their Renaissance Assembly for 2nd quater and I was super proud of them again!  They both worked hard and got the highest card this time!  I love that they are such hard workers and strive to do their very best in school.

Another Gold Card for Tucker

Lassoing trashcans...They both managed to lasso their cans!

Fall Soccer 2012

We just finished up fall soccer!  Tucker and Trey played on separate teams and I helped coach both their teams.  They both did great!  This was Trey's first season of soccer since he was about 3 years old, but he played as if he has always been playing!  He scored at least one goal every game!  Last game he scored 2 goals and personally stopped 3 goals!  He had such a fun time and asked to play indoor soccer too (which starts next week!). 

I don't know what he is doing, but it was a cool pic!

There goes my boy on a breakaway!

He was all over the field after that ball!

 Tucker is such a good athlete!  He had so many breakaways and scored in almost every game too.  I am so impressed with his foot skills.  He dribbles and shoots with both feet.  He also plays goalie too and had a ton of awesome saves!  He really loves playing and is so competitive!

Tucker was the breakaway king of his team!

Tucker can't help but flash that smile when he sees the camera.

Working hard for that ball.

1st Renaissance Assembly of 2012-2013 School Year!

I am so proud of my big boys!!!  They both received cards for their good grades and behavior at school!  This was Trey's first time being eligible for a card and he got a Green one, which is the second highest card you can get!  He was pretty excited about it!  Tucker received another Gold Card, which is the highest you can get!  He was so excited because this year has been a little more challenging for him because he is in the highest reading class where a lot is expected of him, but he is working so hard at it and it paid off!!!  It was special because Grampa, Gramma, and Uncle Jake were all able to come to the assembly with Ty and I!  For their hard work we treated them out to dinner at On the Border!  I am so very proud of them and their hard work!

Looking for us.

He was excited about getting another Gold Card!!

Football Firsts

The boys just finished up their first season of flag football.  Of course, now that Trey has finally decided to play sports they changed the age divisions and they play in different leagues.  Anyways, they both did great and had a blast!

1st Day of School

What a difference a year makes!!!  Do you remember last year when I had to drag Trey onto the bus for majority of the year??? Yep, despite me trying to block that whole debockle from my mind...I still remember.  This year a complete 180...He was excited and eager for school to start!  Tucker was funny, he kept saying I don't want to go to school, but that morning he was running to the bus stop!  So far this year has been pretty good for both of them.  They love their teachers and are making even more friends!

Excited for school!
