Father's Day, some swinging and conquering fear

Happy Father's Day to my sweetie!  He is the best father to my two boys.  We gave him his gifts Sunday morning before church since the rest of the day tends to be more for our Dad's than my hubby.  The boys gave him a poster for work with lots of pictures of my three guys and some other little things from school.  They were really excited.



Saturday we got to celebrate our nephew's 2nd birthday.  The weather was beautiful and we stayed outside as much as possible.  Tyler tore it up on the swing set. 

Waiting for a push.


The war cry!


B played some football. He is such a big boy now, its crazy. He spent the night with Pops and Ve Ve this weekend and when I saw him the next day I could have sworn he grew more over night!




While B was having fun with undivided attention at the grandparents, we got to have a little one on one with Ty. We took him out to dinner and jut enjoyed his little personality. He talks to everyone and ordered his own dessert. "May I have a brown, please?" (A brownie)


Ty woke up on Saturday morning as an only child.  He got to watch his Backyardigans without having to negotiate for the remote.  He watched his Samurai Pie episode while practicing his Ninja moves with his wooden spoon.  (The "Go Braden" sign in the background is leftover from the last day of school)



This is his final bow at the end of the episode.

B-man has decided he wants to conquer riding a big bike this summer, so this weekend he started practicing on his little bike. We got it for him years ago and he's never been into riding it. So we told him if he mastered the little one, we would move on to a bigger on like his friends. 

He did awesome on it on Father's Day.




We finished the day off at Grandma's with some watermelon and scooter/bike races.


I'm really pulling for B-man. I'd love for him to conquer the bike thing over the summer. Its a big deal to overcome a fear. Like Ty finally going down the big enclosed slide at the playground on B's last day of baseball. B really wants to be in control and when he isn't, a lot of time he gets frustrated and quits. I want him to get this. Such a good lesson in working for something you want over a bit of time. I can't wait to cheer and see his face when he rides that bike down the street for the first time without J pushing on holding.

Will be a great victory for a 6 year old boy this summer!
