Sorry I got a little behind, I even promised, I think, that I would keep up with this. Well since I am sitting at home while the construction starts on the back wall of the house, I might as well get caught up. OOH I should go take a before shot of the wall so I can take an after shot when they are done!!! Hold on two minutes!! Ok here is the before picture of the living room (great room)
So the end result will be minus the door and window and it will be turned into one large sliding glass door. That way you will be able to see the pool :D
Ok so back to where I was. So the past 2 weeks were full of Spring Break, Easter and soccer games. Since it was spring break I planned to take the boys to the Blue Angels practice but man was it ever cold!!! Jacob and I sat out back and watched them fly over head instead. Greysen slept :D
Here they are flying right over the house.
Blu was watching as well. He loves to see them fly overhead.
Then the weather was getting a little better so I took the boys out to Fort Barrancas and took some pictures. It was just a little too bright for them, so there were lots of squints!!!
Then the weekend brought Easter. The first festivity was the Easter egg hunt at Perdido Kids Park. This park is pretty much taken care of by the local Kiwanis club. Jacob is in the middle school version called Builders Club. The students go to certain activities in the area and help out the Kiwanis club. So this was Jacobs chance to hide the Easter eggs. As you can see he is in his orange Builders Club shirt hard at work.
Then it was Greysens turn, along with about 100 other kids to find the eggs. They had the park sectioned off into 3 categories 1-3 year olds, 4-5 year olds, and 6-7 year olds. The older kids the parents didn't go with so of course Greysen was a little hesitant. Well being hesitant doesn't get you many eggs. So he got maybe 10 or so. But he did find some and ended up having fun. Oh and he ate allllll the candy from the time his soccer game was over to the time we got home. In about 10 minutes tops.
He wasn't even afraid of the Easter Bunny!!! He knew though it wasnt the "real" Easter bunny, just a man.
Then it was time for Jacob soccer game, yes right after the egg hunt. So here he is! They did pretty good. I think they might have won, but it was awhile ago and so I already forgot. That's what happens these days, I don't remember much.
Then we have Greysens game!!! We are almost done for the day. And wow it was exhausting. Oh and this day Greysen decided he would play more defense then offense. Funny thing is they don't play defense at this age. His coach had to keep telling him to not stand in front of the goal. Needless to say, they didn't score much, and Greysen tried his best being a defensive player. Once he makes up his mind that is what he is focused on.
He has good ball control though!!!!
And he has good throw ins. Its funny, he wants to do everything, throw ins, goal kicks, corner kicks, you name it he wants to do it. But unfortunately he has to share those responsibilities, which he does.
Now we have the next weekend of games. Greysens was an 8am game. So only he and I went. He decided it was time to be offense again. He controlled the ball like a champ. Made 7 goals!!!! that is the total number of goals they had too :D But we are not keeping score right. He did so well, I was completely surprised seeing as he normally doesn't wake up on weekends until around 10.
Here he is taking on 3 other kids!!!
YEAH a corner kick. He loves to do those!!!
Now on to Jacobs game. I was not there because I had to take Greysen to a birthday party, but here are some shots Bill got. Oh wait, really only one good shot :D ha ha maybe next weekend.
So as you can see we have been busy little bee's!!! Through all the fun with the boys sports and activities we have managed to paint almost the entire house. We only have the master bedroom, the laundry room, and the closets in the bedrooms. When the doors are finished being installed we will have some touching up to do in the bathroom and great room then it will be all done. Then I can actually blog the finished product!!!! My favorite room right now is my bathroom. I know silly huh, but its true. I love the color!!!
Also with all the improvements on the house we have my parents arriving in a few days, a Nascar race to attend, and then Bill's mom will come enjoy a month and a half with us. Hopefully she will get to cannon ball into the pool :D
One other thing before I close. Bill lost his grandmother Sunday morning. It is sad as she was one of the cutest grandma's I've ever seen!!! I loved her cute German accent. She was a lovely lady. She will be missed by many, but will never be forgotten!!!
Ok so I believe that is it!!! Till next week hopefully!! If not then, I will get back to it soon I promise :D
