What the boys are reading.
I caught my boys out on the swing reading last night.
It always makes me smile to see them reading together.
My 7yr old liked “The Falconmaster” by R.L. La Fevers so much that he started reading it all over again after finishing it.
He is my little adventure lover.
I always keep my eye out for a good mystery or adventure for him.
He also really liked the “No Place Like Holmes” series by Jason Lethcoe.
They are a Christian mystery series.
I originally got “The End of the Beginning” by Avi for his older brother but my 6yr old really liked it.
He jumps at any funny book about animals.
The “Jack Russell: Dog Detective Series” is a favorite of his also right now.
He laughs out loud a lot while reading them.
The boys actually pass these back and forth.
That is what my oldest is reading and finding so funny in the picture below.
They have been doing most of their summer reading in the vehicle.
I have always treasured the trip back from the library because the boys would be quietly reading for the drive.
One day I realized they could just read on the way to places instead of yelling in my ear.
Best decision ever.
Our car rides are now peaceful and quiet.
As long as they do not finish their book to quickly…
Father’s Day
For Father’s Day this year my husband wanted to do the Lipbuster Challenge at Turkey Mt. again.
He did it last year as well.
This year though my oldest wanted to do it with him.
They had to go up and down this hill at Turkey Mt. as many times as they could in 1hr.
They both did 7 laps!
My son was worried he was not going to make it in time though so he left Nick behind and ran really fast to the finish!
He was so excited to get the medal and eat…
He really likes to eat the “junk food”(his words) after a race.
They did awesome!
The picture on the right is how Nick really felt…
My youngest stuck with me while I took pictures.
He was really helpful in pointing out things like a scorpion that had just gone under the bark at my feet…
I tried to stay in that spot longer but all I could think of was a scorpion crawling up my leg so we moved.
He was disappointed I did not get a picture of it.
I like that this race is early enough we can still make it to church!
I decided to change instead of showing up in muddy jeans though…
