I am WAY behind ;)

School is out for the summer and we have been going at top speed ever since! We went to Hilton Head for vacation with my Mom's entire side of the family (there are twenty five of us). We had a great time hanging out with everyone. The boys loved riding bikes, the sand, an the pool. On Monday the pool was off limits as we had a copperhead visiting :) other than that we enjoyed the pool everyday! We also went crabbing, it was awesome!

One week later we celebrate Tommy's second birthday! Hard to believe he is two! We had a Mickey party and all of Cyril's siblings were in for the weekend so that was nice. We got him a large blow up pool with a slide, but he was more interested in putting water in a bucket and giving it to the dog than playing in it himself. He had a fun filled day! 

Here are several pictures from summer so far!

At The Park

We decided to take a trip to the park this evening. Here are some pictures of the boys! They are as adventurous as ever!!

First Karate Tournament

A couple of weeks ago Little Cyril entered his first karate tournament. His instructor (Sensei) Scott, encouraged him to enter all categories because you never know how you will do until you try. So he did! He entered in sparing, Kata, weapons Kata, board breaking, sword sparing. He did amazing! He got second place for his Kata, and first place in all four of the other categories! He was on cloud nine, and we were pretty proud ourselves :)

Kindergarten Math???

Cyril: "Mommy, since I couldn't find a period and do 19 divided by seven equals 2.7 I did 19 plus 7 equals 26!"

Really...only in kindergarten???

Brotherly Love

Tommy's personality is really starting to show. He sure loves his brother, and Cyril loves him! Here are some recent pictures of them together.

Happy Easter!

Spring Break

So today was the first day of little Cyril's spring break. We started off with Chick-fil-a for breakfast then we were off to Knoxville to run some errands. Our first stop was Joann's fabric store. Tommy started sleeping with little Cyril's old travel pillow this weekend so I wanted to make a couple pillow cases for it. By the time we left Joann's we not only had the fabric for the pillow cases but had enough fleece to make two blankets (one for each boy of course). So we got home and made the pillow cases first then made the blankets. Both of the boys love them! Now we each have our own blanket to use on the couch and don't have to try to squeeze under the same one.

Tonight little Cyril is spending the night with Uncle Evan at Grammys. Wednesday we hope to go to the zoo. And Friday he is spending the night at his buddy, Joe's house. Sounds like a good spring break to me!

On another note this was a beautiful weekend. Yesterday Cyril was able to brew some beer which he hasn't done since shortly after Cyril was born! And I got the trampoline up an running with new safety netting and padding. So it was pretty productive.
