Funny things Bowen boys say....

I wish that anyone that needed a laugh would be able to hear Banks repeat lines from the Chimpmunks movie! I laugh out loud everytime he says, "boom chicka mou mou!"

Once again today Banks said as we drove by the cemetary in a whispering voice to Baylor, "don't go there because that's where you die!"

Boys' first Football Camp!









Fishing at Gma and Gpa's!

Our first trip to KS went wonderfully!!! Oh, how we miss Lawrence! The boys love to go to grandma and grandpa's, but expecially now since they have become professional fishermen. Two excessively stocked ponds where fish just leap for their hooks. They are catching huge fish, that I can't even get off the hooks! I am a girl, so yes, it's not my favorite thing to pull off the fish. Or bait the hook with worms, yuck! But a mom has got to do what a mom has got to do, right!?!?! Luckily Clint got me these little crappie pellets that are much less "messy" for a girl! Thanks Clint!
The 10 hour drive there and the 10 hour drive back was managable, thank goodness for the DS and the dvd player....

Summer....YEA!....Uh....when does school start?!?!

Yesterday was the boys' last day of school! So exciting, right? For a mom, it's bitter sweet isn't it. The fun begins, but it brings with it fights, back talk and time outs. Lots of time outs!
Starting today I can tell you what we will be doing everyday for the rest of summer, thanks to living the life of a football coach's schedule! Every vacation is booked, every camp is signed up for and the days there is nothing...I will be enjoying a margarita by the pool at the club. Usually I would talk about how spoiled rotten the boys are...which they are...but today it seems...so are Clint and I. I am super excited about Disney World, Destin, FL, and the lake over the 4th! All fun for the whole family! Let the summer begin!
As school came to a close yesterday a few funny things happened. Baylor has an official crush first of all, and brace yourself....had his first kiss! Well, sort of. Peyton kissed him on this hand and he is just giddy about it! I don't remember this beginning so early for me, but I keep reminding myself...like father like son! LOL!
We also had to go buy "Sillybands" yesterday, which is my 1980's verson of freindship bracelets. All the kids have them at school and trade them and such. The boys are crazy over them. I feel it is the first trendy thing Baylor has gotten into, and just "Had to have!"
In the car, I had to giggle because he is growing up so fast! First grade next year, and seems so "big" compared to a year ago. It got me a little choked up!
Banks also finished school, but didn't really care. He is still just along for the ride. Except that he has been saying the funniest things. We were driving by a cemetary and the looked out and said, "Mom, that's were you go and die."
He is also very into the saying, "It's just you and me, mom!" It's the cutest thing ever!
I am off for more fishing and sprinkler fun! Gotta love summer!
School starts in just 8 weeks!

Going...Going...Gone!

Baylor had a t-ball game tonight. He has had several now and we are getting into the "swing" of things...so I thought.
First of all, we were late because "mom" thought the game was at 6:15 and it was actually at 5:15. When we pull up Baylor arrives just in time to put on his helmet and grab a bat, as he is up next. He steps up to home plate and smacks the ball right out to center field...I haven't even sat down yet. I watch him round 1st, I set my purse down. As he rounds 2nd I am taking a breath, saying, "Whew, we made it!" As he rounds 3rd, I start laughing and thinking..."we should be late more often!" As he crosses home plate, I think..."darn it, I forget my camera! Ugh!"
Baylor is grinning from ear to ear, trying not to look at me in the stands and seem cool to his players. Again I think, "What mom forgets her camera when your kid hits a home run??!!"
I sighed again after the game when Baylor was awarded the "Game Ball" and I still didn't have my camera!!! He was so proud and as we walked in the house, he grabbed his ball and darted upstairs to place it on his headboard in the spotlight!
Tonight I am a proud mama!
