Sorry everyone, we have become slackers. Becca has become a facebook addict and sucked me in. Many of our daily adventures are getting published on facebook. We will try to do better. We do have links to our facebook pages to the right, if your interested.
We had a relaxing weekend. My cousin Zac & I took Tristan out to do some target practice. I’m not an outdoors man, but I felt Tristan needed to understand firearms and the responsibility they demand.
He did very well his 1st day.
Later that day, Becca wanted to plant some flowers. Mirra was absolutely fascinated by the worms we dug up! The other girls kept a safe distance.
You can see more from our flickr photo album.
Some big brother help!
I see you!!!
Here’s a few pics and you can view more in the Flickr photo album link on the right.
Look what I found!!!!
Yesterday was the big day. We had cake & ice cream with Nana, Gary, & the family. Nichole was here (she’s pretty much family, too) and Tristan’s good friend Brandon. He got to celebrate with a bunch of his friends a few weekends ago. (Easter weekend is never good for friend parties) Here are a few pics of the big party.. we had it at the Gaming Center~easiest party EVER!!!
Rows of boys sitting around playing games...
Tristan dancing while they play air hockey.. silly boy!
Really moving now!
A group shot..kind of..hard to get them all in one place.

This morning Tristan brings me a paper from school to sign. He should have done it last night, it’s our rule, but I’m on the couch with all 3 girls (We’re all sick) and too tired to argue about the green permanent marker he wants me to use. I remind him to put it up because it does NOT come off.
Not only does he not put it away (the kitchen table is NOT away), he DOES NOT shut the gate from the kitchen to the living room. (We have a gate to keep them out of everything they always seem to get into in the kitchen). I doze back off after he leaves, because I feel rough and have been up with the girls. I wake up to Reagan bringing me the permanent marker (she is wearing quite a bit). I see the open gate and this…..
Ben will be dealing with this one tonight. I’m heading to a conference for math teachers with my Math professor. I’ll only be gone 1 night. Any ideas on how to save Tristan this time? I guess I need to google, it saved him last time!
What a way to wake up…Becca
Thursday I was getting the girls settled for dinner at their table. My purse and Ben’s lunch bag were sitting side by side on the kitchen table. Mirra says, “Look Mommy’s purse and Daddy’s purse.” She’s such a cutie!

It’s nap time.
If we can’t see them, then they can’t see us!!
& found these. Look at my little boy… and my little body… Where did time go?
My Sweet Baby Boy!
Tristan & his Bahamian Friends!
It was a good vacation.

Today was Tristan’s last day for Rec League Basketball (our school doesn’t start basketball until 7th grade). I am pretty impressed by his improvements as he grows. All of the SEMO basketball camps and playing outside non-stop with our next door neighbor are paying off. Here are some pics from the game…

No! It's mine!
REBOUND!
Making his shot!
I really am proud of how hard he works at basketball. He’s growing up so quickly!
Thanks for checking in! Becca
The girls got new tricycles today and are working on learning to ride them. It is gorgeous outside and I had to drag them in so I could cook some dinner. Here are some pics from the day. Enjoy….
Izzie is loving her new ride
