Tennis camp

The boys went to an All sports camp at John Newcombe Country Club last week. They did play other sports but the main one was tennis. They had so much fun! They all enjoyed learning tennis, even though the first few days they said it was harder than they thought. They got to swim, play soccer and basketball, hike, play games, have tennis tournaments each day, have a Nerf gun war and end each day with snow cones. On the last day, the parents came for a slide show and they each got an award. Colton got the Calm Camper award for being so "chill and easy going." Cooper got the Slam Dunk award for his basketball skills. Carter got the Positive Attitude Award for being so happy and positive. Sounds like they figured my boys out. =)

This was the first time Carter went anywhere all day, everyday. He was so happy that he got to go with his big brothers. He loved it but he was sure worn out at the end of the day.

We've moved!

We sold our house. The house we moved into when Colton was barely three, Cooper was 6 weeks from his due date and Carter wasn't even imagined yet. We lived there for 9.5 years. It was such a great place to go from a family of 3 to a family of 5 in but we had outgrown it for sure. We were thinking of adding on but realized it would be better to just start over so we put it on the market in January. It sold in June. We had to be out July 17th. Moving is no fun. It was pretty emotional when I looked at the little hand prints Colton had made in the driveway. So much love and fun happened on Felsblock Lane. 

But we found a wonderful lot just a few minutes away and we are going to start the building process. We are all so excited for the next home! We will have teenagers in this one and probably become empty nesters there too!! 

Carter's party

On Carter's birthday, he woke up to his traditional pancake breakfast and then opened some presents.

Then we had his party at Peter Piper Pizza that afternoon. He had an Avengers themed party. 

He had seen a huge cake that had a hulk hand on top but it was too big for our group. The bakery was supposed to make a small version for him and then cupcakes for everyone else. His little cake didn't turn out quite how we pictured it but it was still fun and delicious!

Seriously! How cute is my redhead?!?!?!

All of his best buddies and cousins showed up and he had a great time!

My All Stars

Both Colton and Cooper made the All Star team for their age group! They have worked so hard this season and it paid off! We are so very proud of them!

Morgan's Wonderland

Carter's second field trip for his preschool was supposed to be at Morgan's Wonderland and once again it was cancelled because of rain. He was so disappointed and I promised him I would take him another day. The weather has been crazy for weeks but finally we had a nice day. We had such a great time! I love days that are all about him and I. He is so much fun!  Morgan's Wonderland is such a neat place!
