Monkey Max is 4

Monkey Party Theme! It's been a drought for the last month and it started raining this week. Luckily the rain held off and the party went on without a hitch. We rented a jupiter jump and got to enjoy it before and after the party!

Party Favors - monkey tshirts and banana jelly bellys

Noahisms

Excerpts from Noah's first Tball Game: "They gave me the shirt with the #1 on it because I am the best player" - okay son simmer down...there are no outs, you run one base at a time, and you're 5 to his coach as he is up to bat "I am so good at baseball" - he's just telling you like it is to his little brother "Max you can play next year and I'll be your coach" - oh that would be hystericl to watch "When I grow up I don't want to be a fireman, I've decided I want to be a person who plays baseball" - sorry Jason, t-ball is now his official career choice

Spring Training

Noah started T-ball. After one practice he loved it. This is the first sport Noah has played that I actually enjoyed as well.

Showing me his "bat holding" pose

Getting started. He has 3 friends from his pre-k class on the team as well. I think this will help since he knows people.

Look at that arm! He's got a strong throw just needs to watch where he's throwing

So cute in his helmet. Up to bat

Around the bases.

Heading home!

Can't wait for his first game.

Child Labor

What good is having boys if you don't let them help with yard work. Jason moved a tree in the backyard and the boys wanted to help. I don't know how much "help" they really were but these pictures sure look like they are working hard.

They had that shopvac all over the backyard. They were supposed to be picking up acorns. Noah said it was too loud and couldn't do it with one hand because he had to plug his ears.

I don't think Max should be holding a shovel.

The boys discussing who should be vacuuming.

Who eats lettuce?

My boys that's who.....I made lettuce wraps and who'd a thought that the boys would like them?
