Last Lacrosse Weekend

This is what the boys came up with when they were practicing for super hero day.  They think Luke has a nice "man bun."

Luke got to have breakfast with Daddy on Sunday morning.  The Red Chair has great food day and night! 

Sunday we took the lid off the Jeep for the summer.  Josh and I drove home topless. 

Happy Fathers Day to Mikey!  We bought him the surf board he has been wanting for so long! Get ready for some serious good times this summer on this super fun board. 

Last lacrosse weekend!  The boys played great but went 0-2 for the day  Look at these fun boys!  (Josh is #2 in the back in the center.)

We wanted to get some good pictures of Josh while he was wearing his "normal" jersey, White, and so here are some more action shots.  This is Josh scooping and running. 

This is the running part...

Josh played such great defense that he was marked up against the best shooter on the team.

Josh had a great goal during the first game and Mike took a series of shots capturing it. 

Boom!

This is my current favorite picture.  

And another series of pictures of Josh's goal during the next game. 

The ball almost got the goalie in the face!

Tough guy.  

Phone Dump

Luke and his friend, Rogen, have been working on a passion project about Harry Potter for weeks.  They presented their powerpoint last week. Since neither one wanted to do the talking, they took turns.  One appears to be a bigger ham than the other one.

Friday we went to Jackson for a lacrosse tournament.  We left Bozeman early on purpose so that we could get to Teton Gravity Research by the time it closed.  The boys were so happy!  Josh kept saying "this is heaven, yo."

This truck is called the Tangerine Dream, and it's famous in TGR movies.  The boys couldn't believe their luck that they got to see it!

Our friends Lisa and Derek had Ruby Friday night.  She appears to be enjoying her time with them.  Spoiled!!

This was our view for Friday.  The clouds came and went, and it never rained.  It was perfect weather!  This is our third year at this tournament, and the first year without rain or snow. 

Sunday Josh's game was at 8:30 in the morning, and Luke was just not having it. He said that if I would have told him that we had to get up so early, he would have went to bed earlier Saturday night.  I know that is not true, but it's what all of us were thinking when we woke up Sunday.  :) 

We had a little break between Josh's last game and Kyler's last game, so we went to a darling little bakery called Persephone that Ms. Hovland (Luke's teacher) recommended.  It was a great stop!  

We had to take a Mother's Day picture with the antlers!

This is part of Luke's mother's day present to me.  I will cherish this forever. 

Lacrosse Pics

These are the lacrosse photos from Mike's big camera this past weekend in Jackson.

The rules changed for this tournament, so they played 10 v 10 on a normal sized field.  They usually have 4 teams of 12 kids when they play 6 v 6 on a small field, so they had to restructure the teams.  Josh was on Black, and was number 14 for the weekend. 

He did great at his face offs.  

See that fight and hustle? 

Can you see his black cheeks?  He's super serious about his eye black. 

In the ready position. 

Josh has the ball in this picture...the defender is trying to get it, but Josh kept it away. 

Running in to get the faceoff ball. 

Playing defense...trying to stop that #28 from getting past him. 

Again with the ball, trying to keep it from the Jackson kid. 

Throwing a pass. 

This is Kyler taking a shot (he's the one floating in the air, no # on his back). 

I jus like this series of pictures!

Luke played catcher for his first baseball game.  He did great!

Swinging for the fences...at Coach Pitch...

That face!

He was hoping for an in the park home run. 

Giving it his all.

Can you hear his grunt?

He runs the bases with sprinter hands. 

He paid good attention to the game, wasn't daydreaming at all.  Rare at age 8!

Tongue out! 

His form

This is what baseball players DO

He played great at catcher. 

Luke ran off the field with a  big hustle every time! I love his crazy hair and his big heart.

Whole Bunch of Awesomeness

Luke mowed the front lawn Tuesday night, and did the back on Wednesday.  The day has come!  We're all very excited. 

Their school offered spring pictures for the first time ever.  We had no intention of buying them, but then we saw them. This is my favorite school picture ever. 

And this is my favorite picture of Josh. 

Luke got a pajama day at school.  He wore the onesie that fit him in the winter, now it's a little tight.  This is him doing yoga on the balance beam. #balance

Saturday we were in Great Falls and the cousins were once again reunited.  Love their smiles!

Josh played two games, and played really well in both. 

This is him after he won the face off.

Silly boys!

We had Fords Drive In for an early dinner before heading back home in one of the most impressive rain storms I've seen in a long time. 

Sunday Mike had to work, so we decided to get outside and enjoy the spring weather.  We hiked Drinking Horse trail for our little adventure. It's less than a mile to the top, so it's a perfect kid hike. 

the boys liked taking breaks, and they liked the rocks along the trail. 

They asked me to take these pictures.  

And here we are at the summit. Enjoying the top of the world views.
