Random Run Ons..........

Dearest Joshua & Luke,

Father's Day 2012 - you both made very special Father's Day cards for Daddy. We also gave him some new clothes, things he never buys for himself. We took daddy out for breakfast, then Dad spent the rest of the day getting the camper in working order. More on the camper later. While that may not sound like a fabulous Father's Day for some, Dad said he spent it just the way he wanted to - with his family. You both tell Dad all the time that he is the best dad in the world for many reasons.

The winning red team!

Close of the Baseball Season - The last couple of weeks brought Joshua's baseball season to a close.  It was a great season this year mostly because of the team.  Joshua had some great coaches to work with, and some awesome teammates.  They all worked well together, and there were only two rain outs so all of the games were played this season.  The whole team grew so much in their baseball skills.  Joshua is so fast when he runs the bases, and he can hit a ball very far.  His biggest trick of the season was bunting.  He tricked the other team several times with this move.  He was so proud of himself!

Playing DS's in the camper.  Now that is roughing it!

First Campout - Daddy finally got the camper ready for camping action.  You were both thrilled to say the least!  You both stayed in the camper with daddy.  You both slept on the pull out bed, and Daddy slept on the kitchen table pull out.  You roasted marshmallows and fell fast asleep.   Daddy cooked pork steaks and some veggies on the grill for dinner.  Luke decided to sleep at the house with me.  My best guess is that he missed the TV and seeing a show.  The ironic part is that he fell asleep on the couch about twenty minutes into the show, so he did not get to watch it all anyway.  The third night was the most exciting because two friends stayed with you both in the camper.  After making smores and trying to get everyone in their pajamas, I headed home to stay with Onyx and Jake.  You were all giggling and joking non-stop when I left.  Daddy said the last person fell asleep about 11:30 pm.  Luke and a friend were up at 5 am, so Daddy took them fishing.  A couple friends caught a fish.  It was lots of fun, and a sleep over that you will remember for a long time.

Peasant #1 a.k.a.. Joshua

Georgina & The Dragon - Starring Joshua!  Yes, Joshua played Peasant #1 in Georgina and the Dragon.  Joshua attended a two week drama camp that culminated in a performance for all of the families.  Joshua had a great time attending the camp.  He met new friends from all grades, and had his second acting role.  (In case you forgot, Joshua's debut was a surfer in the Underwater Adventure in Mrs. H's kindergarten class.) Joshua was so lucky to have two friends come and see him in the show.   You were so lucky to have your friends to come and support you!

Luke's first bean crop!

Luke the Farmer, Luke the Last Airbender  - Things have been equally exciting for Luke!  Luke grew a bean from seed that he planted in preschool.  His bean plant is healthy and growing each day.  We harvested the first crop, two beans.  Daddy steamed them and we all shared a piece of the bean!  It was so yummy.  Also, Luke got a haircut this week, and talked Daddy into painting a blue arrow on his head to look like Aang, the last Airbender.

Luke - the Last Airbender

So much more has been happening.....More to come soon.   I do love you both  more today than I did yesterday.

Love, Mama
