Play & Stay

 Friday at the boy's school there was a Play & Stay. I got to go and play with Doran at his recess and eat lunch with him. It was so much fun! He said it was the greatest day of his life, but he has many of those recently...

 He came running up when he came out and was so excited I was there. He showed me all the cool stuff on his playground and then we went and played soccer. While we were playing soccer one of his friends came over and joined us.

 Doran wanted a school lunch that day so we went in a got his lunch when it was time and then we ate outside. Next time I am going to bring him lunch for subway so we don't have to wait in the long lunch line.

 It was so much fun! I am glad he is still at the age where he isn't embarassed of his momma and loves me so much!

Kindergarteners didn't get to have a play and stay because they don't have lunch. Brock was just glad he didn't have homework!

 I thought this was the most precious picture of Brock ever. It is so hard to get him to really smile, but this picture is real. It shows how sweet he is!

Angelic!

He is a little cuddler. He likes to be right next to Seth or I at all times. I love it!

Yesterday the boys and I went to Trader Joe's. Doran thought it was the greatest place ever. They had lots of food he could get. He got pot stickers and noodles and made me make them right when we got home. He said they were delicious. I got cookie butter for myself and I am seriously regretting it. They are so delicious I don't know how I am going to survive without them now!

Sometimes dogs just want to cuddle... And lay on you... And not let you sleep... They sure are cute though.

 Brocky read his first ever book on Sunday! It took awhile because he is really just starting to put his sounds together, but we were so proud! He loves doing homework and learning. Doran has way more homework this year than he did last year. It has been a rough change for him, but he is trucking along!

 Last week the Giants game made me so mad! We would have killed the stupid Cowboys, but we kept turning over the ball. They were all Giants mistakes, not Cowboys forcing turnovers. It was a bummer! After Wilson turned the ball over for the second time I said we need to get Jacobs back! Well on Tuesday the Giants re-signed him! So now Seth can wear his Jacobs jersey again and Brock and Doran can wear theirs!

 This week Aunt Samantha was in Disneyland so my mom would pick Brock up at school and bring him to my work and we would hang out with me for a half an hour. He loved it. One day grandma didn't do their hair so they both wore hats to school which is against the rules. Brock said his teacher told him he can't wear a hat and he said to her, "but my grandma didn't do my hair!" I was laughing pretty hard about it. Doran's teachers let him wear his all day!

 The boys have been loving their football games. They each have one on a weeknight and one on Saturday. They both are awesome at it and have so much fun!

 At yesterdays game Brock had two touchdowns and pulled two flags! He passed the ball and it was a great pass, but his teammate didn't catch it.

 Doran had a huge touchdown too! He has gotten really good at blocking on the defense too!

 Here Doran passed the ball and it was a completion! His teammate almost had a touchdown!

 The other night something awesome happened! Doran and Brock asked me if I would read Harry Potter to them! I was so happy! I read the Hobbit to them last year, but they haven't asked me to read anything since.

 Brooks gave Doran these glasses as a very late birthday present, but he won't wear them. Brock took over them and he won't take them off. He thinks he looks awesome in them!

 Fact:

 Today the Giants play the Broncos. Brock loves Peyton Manning and I just couldn't bear the thought of Brock wearing a Peyton Manning jersey today. So Seth and I ordered them some Giants NFL rushzone shirts. They love the rushzone TV show so I knew these shirts would be a hit. Problem solved! Go Giants!

Football weekend!

 Doran's hand is healing nicely. His scar is sweet though!

 The other night the boys were being so cute and silly in my bed! They kept wanting me to take pictures of them, so of course I did!

 Doing Chinese homework! First grade homework is a lot more exciting!

 We found an egg free protein shake and bought it so Doran could have some. I have made them shakes with bananas and peanut butter and Doran loves it. I have to put a little chocolate syrup in Brocky's.

 My desk at work looks so cute! I got my pictures of my three boys and pictures Doran and Brock made me!

 Today was a very long day! Brock had a soccer game at ten and Doran had one at eleven. Then we went straight from the soccer fields to the football fields where Doran had his first football game of the season and then we went from that to Brock'f football game!

 Doran did really good at his game! He is a fast runner and almost got people flags. He had a lot of fun at both games. His best buddy Trey is on his football team so it makes him so happy.

 You can see him in this picture running with the ball!

 Brock's game!

 He halled butt and got the first two flags of the game. He pulled the kids flags who got the ball after the kick and then he got them on the next play. He was so fast that twice he almost got a kids flags that ran the other side of the field!

 Here he is being quarter back.

 Now at the end of the day he is very sick. I am guessing he has heat exhaustion. His eyes are blood shot and he is just laying. I am making him drink lots of water. Luckily he won't have anymore soccer games. I wish they didn't make them overlap. It was a bit much for him. Doran is fine though and being a really good older brother and helping take care of him.
