Patience Please

So I've not gotten a lot accomplished today because I have been updated our blog....sifting through our billions of pictures clogging up our hard drive, trying to pick cute ones and then also surfing through everyone elses blogs and I'm noticing that my blog is very plain and generic and doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles. I don't even know how to get the WHOLE page to have color....well please have patience with me I have just barely had time to get on and put new stuff up so I will try to get more belly and whistley soon. until then... you all can just simmer for a while and enjoy that I'm even adding new pics :)

Yours truely,
Rachel a.k.a. pants

Just Workin in the Yard Mom

The boys helping Micah Mow the lawn for the first time this spring. Jaks held on the the inside bar Morgan the outside bar and Micah guided it from the side. They looked so cute I had to take pictures. If there were ever two boys that wanted to be JUST like their dad, it is these two.

Hmmm somethings missing...I can't quite put my finger on it

Notice anything missing?! Yep Morgan lost one of his front teeth. I must say he pulls off the "toothless" look flawlessly. I mean seriously I don't think any other little boy has ever looked so cute with minus one Central Incisor.

Sweetest Kaleb

This is Joel and Megan's SWEEETEST New baby boy.

He is so cute and such a sweet babe.
This is the first time we got to see him besides in pictures---they surprised us and came up one weekend. My boys LOVED having " baby Kaleb" here. Morgan loves babies and is so excited to have a baby brother or sister finally.

YES if any you didn't know I am pregnant. We will find out Monday the 9th what the gender is so we will keep you posted.

Back to the photo....of course my boys wanted to hold him and so they did and it was soooo sweet Morgan was rubbing his head all soft and Jaks just kept kissing his forehead and putting his cheek up to his head....so cute. I just love my boys...I'm excited to see how they will be with their new sibling.
And YES he is wearing a onesie that says "boobman" which cracks me up everytime I see it. Sorry if any of you are offended.
When Megan was pregnant she worked at a really tres chic baby boutique and got it there. As you can imagine she gets a lot of comments about it.

Jacksen's soccer debute

This was Jak's debut year in playing Soccer and he did pretty good. Although for some reason he thought it was good to fall to the ground as you kick and that you should hold the pose for a bit. It was pretty entertaining.

Soccer Saturdays

Alas, Soccer Saturdays are finally done. This was the first time we had two boys in Soccer at the same time. It got a little crazy sometimes we usually stayed at the soccer complex for a few hours between games.

Morgan seemed to enjoy his season and I think he found his strong point is as defender, he seemed to shine the most at that position. He did play all positions and mananged to score a few times. He was playing on a team the was the age group ahead of him because their wasn't any teams in our area for his age group for spring and I didn't really feel driving him 15 miles each way every practice (which is twice a week.) Although He was playing with older kids and his coach had higher expectations than he was used to, I think it ended up being a good experience for him and he learned a lot.

Playin hooky

So Earlier in the spring (I can't remember specifically when--that's how behind on blogging I am!), I'm thinking it was early March, I let the boys play hooky so we could go watch Micah fly in to do a static display at a local school in the area. It was really fun and Morgan got to miss over half of his school day which made him very happy! They landed in the middle of the track and their were PE students running around the track, apparently the PE teacher wasn't too savy on the occasion because she didn't tell them to clear the track or anything. Micah and his backseater circled the area for about 5 min waiting for them to clear which wasn't happening, so they just decided to land and figured everyone would get the hint. Well, most of the poor middle school kids did and started fleeing for their lives but their were a few that thought they would be ok, and tried to keep jogging until the rotor wind became just too much and they finally decided maybe it wasn't a good idea to be that close to a helicopter while it was landing. It was sort of funny in a twisted sort of "I feel sorry that they just didn't figure it out" kind of way.
