Damien turns 13... Chuck E. Cheese is still fun!

On July 6th, Damien turned 13. A teenager.  So what did he want to do? Spend the evening with Anthony and a friend at Chuck E Cheese.  We had a great time! 

Cousin Damien's here to visit!!!

It has been over two years since Damiens has been to Michigan. He sure has grown.  We are very grateful for the time we get to spend with him this summer. Anthony just loves having his cousin here. On Wednesday, July 6th, Damien turns thirteen, and we are so excited to celebrate! 

No Fireworks tonight...

We all piled into the car to watch the fireworks from my school's parking lot.  The boys were having fun playing with Snappers and waiting for the show to begin. Unfortunately, the fireworks were cancelled due to rain. But we came home and lit a few fountains and sparklers in the driveway. We will try again Monday, the 4th, to see fireworks somewhere. The boys have plenty of little fireworks to watch at home the next few days.

Our Little Chef...

Anthony has fallen in love with making scrambled eggs.  He has become a pro at cracking eggs. He went 5 for 5 without getting any shells in the bowl.  He beats the eggs too. The only thing he doesn't do is actually cook them. But while mommy is cooking the eggs,  Anthony makes the toast. He is proud of himself. 

Anthony the Bike Riding Pro...

So anthony has been riding his bike in the driveway for the last few days after school.  Today he really took off.  Here is a little video of him from today.  Take note of what he is saying as he is riding...

So he tells me that he wants "To Try this in his Neighborhood!"  Why Not?  I take him out to the street in front of the house, and that's it.  Anthony is a Bike Riding Pro!!! Take a Look!

Look Coach I caught it....

Well tonight was Anthony's second baseball "game"!  He had just as much, if not more, fun!  He followed Coach Joe around the field and did everything with his team!  In this picture, kids were hitting the ball while other kids were in the field trying to get the ball. Anthony got this ball and had to make sure the Coach saw him. Look at the big grin on his face!

A Kid Free Zone No More...

So Jim swore that no kids would ride in his PRECIOUS Lexus... well after 3 and a half years the Lexus has had its first child passenger!
