{Fun and more fun...}

There have been a few things going on around here lately that i haven't posted about yet. There was a father and sons campout that ended up getting cancelled due to the rain. So, the boys still had an outing. They had a lot of fun. I went over to a girls night out, but everyone of my friends brought their daughters. I didn't have one. I felt kind of out of place, but i still had fun. :)

 We ended up buying the boys bunkbeds. They all wanted to share a room really bad. We looked into a different set, but when we realized it couldn't all fit into their room we were all very disappointed. I had the bright idea of putting a trundle bed underneath the bunk bed set so they could all be in the room. :) So smart i know. haha. The boys love it. We all love it.

At the beginning of the school year Gavin and Tanner signed up for the 100 mile club. You are supposed to run 100 miles by the end of the school year. You can only run the miles at school...you can't count miles you do at home. They all did it! Well, Jaydon didn't, but he did run a lot with the boys so one of the teachers ended up giving him a shirt too. :)  Once they hit 25 miles they received a shirt. At 50 miles they received a 100 mile club pencil. At 75 miles they received a 100 mile club sports bracelet, and at 100 they received a certificate and a gold medal! Tanner had to work extra hard the past month in order to get it. Missing a whole month of school set him back. We were getting up early and going to school to get some miles in, and we would stay after school. He finally finished the day before the ceremony for it. They were all so proud of themselves.

 Jaydon had a birthday get together on Saturday. He turned 4 years old on June 1st!!! I can't believe it. 4 years old!! My kids are growing so fast and it kills me.  :,(  We invited a few families over with kids that are friends with Jaydon and we grilled up some chicken and veggies, and the rest of them brought sides to go with it. Of course we had cake and ice cream! Good thing i made two cakes because both the cakes and the gallon of ice cream were devoured in minutes. Serious.I would say the kids devoured most of it. And of course Gavin puked for about 4 hours that night. Pretty sure its the ice cream. It's happened before. I notice a pattern here. haha...We also had a bouncy house, and they all had fun jumping on that. plus we turned on the hose and let them play in the water since it was a pretty hot day. I just can't believe he is 4!!!

 We have been wanting a firepit ever since we arrived to okinawa. A few of our neighbors have one and we get excited when we see them out there because it makes us want to get one. Finally, shane got online and ordered us one. We went outside in our backyard and used it for the first time last night. We made smores. It was so fun. We want to make this an FHE tradition, and hopefully invite a family over every monday to do it with us.

Tanner is such a good little reader!! He is really doing great. I love watching them grow in school, and in every aspect of their lives. I am impressed. I just received a letter from the school saying that Tanner's kindergarten class exceeds all the other kindergarten classes when it comes to reading and writing. They were very impressed with their skills. They have such a great teacher, so i am not surprised by it. :)

We went over to our friends house the other day to let the kids go down their slip n slide. They have a steep hill and it makes the slip n slide awesome for kids. About Gavin's second time going down he collided at the bottom with his friends knee. His knee went right into Gavin's forehead. I mean this when i tell you, i have never seen such a huge goose egg on a kids head before. My kids have had some pretty big ones on their head, but this was the mac daddy of them all. I was worried that something serious was going on underneath that goose egg. Shane took him home. 3 days later he still has a deformed looking big bump on his forehead. It is blue looking. I feel so bad for him. Then, the next day he nearly broke his pinky toe on the bouncy house. His pinky toe is all swollen and blue. Plus he got sick. All that in a couple days. It comes in 3's right? And my boys have a thing with 3's. Jaydon's birth month is 3 months from tanner's birth month. Tanner's birth month is 3 months from Gavin's birth month. We have 3 boys. Then look at this pattern....Gavin was born 1 week early. Tanner was born 2 weeks early. Jaydon was born 3 weeks early. Gavin and Tanner are 1 year and 9 months apart. Tanner and Jaydon are 2 years and 9 months apart. We didn't finish the pattern with having one 3 years and 9 months apart from Jaydon. Maybe we can finish it with having one 4 years and 9 months apart? We would have to get on that one pretty quickly. haha! I am weird sometimes with numbers. The funny things is, i stink at math. Maybe it's more about the patterns than the numbers that i like. 9/11 was a terrible day. 3/2011 was a terrible day for japan. 6/11 is my birthday and that was a terrible day for my mother. haha! Okay, im done. I know my husband will get on here and read this and give me a completely weird look. :)
