CONGRATULATIONS BRENT AND CATE

We just wanted to say a warm congrats to Uncle Brent and Aunt Cate who graduate from Texas A&M this weekend. We wish we could be there to give you hugs (maybe not so much so to sit through another graduation---HA HA ....we have had LOTS of those through the years in our family)!!! We love you!!!

Afternoon Soccer

Today we are finishing up yard work but took a little break for some much needed play. The boys ran up quickly to get changed into their soccer clothes - Joshua is on the Tim Hortons Timbits Team this year - LOVE their donuts by the way!!! Matthew decided today he was going to be the "lion" team - that means he was the Chelesa England Team--Nana England got that uniform for the boys when she lived in London - we have worn it over and over. Daddy and Joshua had some good shoot-outs and Mommy was the goalie and Matthew the coach - whistle and all!!!

Stephanie Stephanie Where are You?????

The season of mulch began (and thankfully) ended yesterday for the Long Family. I was so missing an important sister though......you know who you are.

Yesterday afternoon 7 yards of mulch (and 1 of dirt for my garden) were spread around out house. We do have to say it looks so nice to see all the green plants just "pop" out from black mulch. Another week or so and we can get our pots planted and we will be set for summer!!!

Turkey's & Fish

What could be better for our two little guys than a sleepover with Grandpa and Nanna ......some turkey decoys that can be used as hats..........a 4-wheeler ride with Uncle Dennis........and fishing!

Not too many things we think!

Oh My Dirty Boys.....

I really go to thinking today as I did yet another load of VERY dirty laundry what life will be like if we have 3 boys. I am not sure a girl will be much neater though because I am sure she will be chasing after her big brothers who just love a good splash in a muddy creek. Here is what life looked like this afternoon as they played and played for hours behind out house. Matthew's pants kept falling down partly because he did not have a diaper to hold them up and partly because they were mud logged!!!!

Joshua Looses His First Tooth

What a big day it was in our house yesterday...we have been asked to "feel my loose tooth" on a daily basis for about 2 months now. Finally, yesterday he runs up to me and says that dad told him to show me how loose his tooth was today. He then gave it a little twist and it went flying across the floor - we even had to hunt for the poor tooth.

Potty Time

Just had to post this picture. It is SO Matthew--he is doing a great job!
