school, church, work, play, eat, sleep....repeat (Winter ends-Spring begins 2013)

Well, so much time has flown by that I don't know how to begin this post.  So, I've just looked through some photos from my phone and will add what will help me remember our year thus far.   Then, the next post I will write about our summer vacation; which was wonderful!

 We had a late snowfall in March.  I did a lot of babysitting for Chantal Desper last school year.  Here is a snowman I made with her kids (Garrison, Natalie-daycare).

 Payton have fun throwing snowballs.

 Gray made a tunnel through one of the snowman so Fiona could go through it.   cool huh?!!

 Greg and Noah

 Owen and Payton

 I just love each season.  Things about winter I love: no bugs, naked trees that you can see land beyond, walking dog through the forest and making snowmen.

Pinewood derby- Payton's last race.  Unfortunately, he didn't win.  2/13

 March 2013 Noah had his braces removed.  Strange how my big thumb sucker had the least problems with his teeth.  I think he only wore braces for 18 months.

 straight and clean!

 A lot of basketball in the winter.  I wish I could find one of Gray.  I may add that later if I can find it.  Gray played on JV team at Century High but really he didn't get much court time.  Pictures above and below are of Owen.  He really excelled this season with Coach David Tucker.  Owen's team won a couple tournaments.  (I couldn't get them all in order, scroll for more.)

 New friends, the Hebert boys (Brenden, Trevor, Camden and Hayden - from New Hampshire- all about same ages as my boys) showed us this climbing wall in Bass Pro Outlet at the Anne Arundel Mills outlet.  Payton and Gray like it the most. 

 Trevor made it to the top!

Each spring, baseball season follows basketball.   This is Noah and Payton's favorite sport.  Although, after this year, I think basketball is now equally fun for Payton and Noah.   Noah missed it in 2012 so he really wanted basketball in 2013.  Gosh, no pics of Noah's basketball team.   OOPs!   I will hunt for those too.

Owen's basketball was 11/2012- 3/2013

 Payton's team started off loosing everything but by the end they won a lot and were 2nd place winners!

 5/2013   Spring helpers!  Thanks grandpa Gams for helping my boys get this mulching done;)

 Payton graduates cub scouts.   This is his bridging ceremony with his troop and new 11-year old scout leader- Bishop Sheppard. 6/2013

 5/2013  Noah and Payton get to be on the same baseball teams every other year.  They were 2nd place winners this season!  (with friend Jordan)

3/2013

 

 Here is Noah's basketball picture.

 Here is Gray's basketball picture. 

 Evidence that my boys do work in the kitchen!  Aren't they so nice!
