Hapkido

This is one of my favorite pics! Our friends have opened their own Hapkido school of Martial Arts. We attended opening day and the boys fell in love. AJ was able to break through 2 child boards at the same time. Eli was able to do a single child board and thought it was the greatest.

Omar had to have a little help. We are excited to start. Me, Omar and Eli will be starting this week and can't wait!

Baseball Party!

Saturday was the end of the year party for the Sand Fleas. AJ presented Daddy with his own trophy!

Coach Trevor gave AJ his trophy!

This is our whole team minus a couple and plus one who jumped in when I wasn't looking!

High Flying!

Thanks to the wonderful Mr. Trevor we were able to go to the air show this weekend.


This is the first helicopter we got in. Eli was convinced the pilot was his Sunday school teacher. The gentleman on the other hand lives in Jacksonville and says he doesn't think he teaches Eli's class. Eli was completely embarrassed.

This is them sitting in the bomber at the top of the page. Omar had the most fun. He said it was so loud he had to squeeze his ears shut so tight he "almost broke me brain!"

Happy Halloween

For being kind of last minute it turned out really well. AJ was Obi Wan, Eli of course is Darth Vader, and for those of you who are not in the know Omar is Master yoda!

Happy 8th Birthday

AJ celebrated his 8th birthday with all his friends at a great park on the river. Thank you to all who came out and made his day!

Welcome Lolly

AJ decided for his birthday he wanted to buy himself a kitty. He saved his money from baseball and his grandma and grandpa helped him out with his birthday money. We took him to the Humane Society today and the minute he saw this cute girl he whispered "I want her." It was love at first site. The best part is Raptor has no problem with her. I think Raptor has always wanted a friend. So, Welcome Home Lolly!

Fall Baseball

Fall baseball has started! Ok, it started awhile ago it just took me awhile to get pics!

Gator Of The Month!

AJ and his new principal at the "Gator of the Month" ceremony!

He was nominated by his music teacher.

His buddies Sal, Vinny, and Nick also got 'GOTM'

GO GATORS!

First Day of School!

It was AJ's first day of school as a 2nd grader and Eli's first day as a kindergartener. Not only is it a new school year it is a new school. They were excited to start their year at Allapattah! Go Gators!

This is my boys with their friends who all were excited about being gators!

It's Time To Meet The Teachers

The time has come to go meet our new teachers at our new school!

Summer Haircuts!

Today we decided that we needed to get ready for summer. AJ and Omar wanted their regular old haircuts.

Eli on the other hand had to be different.

He told me he looked like a "real cool dude!"

So Long!

AJ got as a parting gift from Manatee a Sunshine Math Award for the last nine weeks and for the whole year! Good Bye Manatee!

Trophy Time!

We had our end of the year party. We decided to be brave and had the team over to our house for some backyard baseball and a BBQ.

AJ was very excited to get his trophy from Coach Josh.

Sorry It Has Been So Long!

We haven't had a computer for quiet awhile and I had to use my mom's camera but we are up and running again here are a few things that have happened in the last couple of months!

On AJ's last game for the season they also awarded him with a trophy. Coach Aldric also received one.

GO WARD BOYS!

Crazy For Krabby Patties!

For Halloween the boys decided to go with our favorite characters1

For Omar he is the one and only Spongebob Square Pants. Square butt included!

Eli is the silly Patrick Starfish. And yes those are pink pantyhose and yes he will probably hate me for it when he gets older.

AJ is Mr. Krabs. Also wearing pantyhose and well he already hates that I made him wear them.

Thank You Nicole for letting us use the girls leggings and shirts!

6 + 6 = 14?

Today both AJ and Eli had a game. AJ won his game 14 to 7. He went 4-5, a double, 3 singles, 4 RBI's, 4 runs scored and a great defensive play.

Eli got to slide home twice and came home very very dirty!

Super Star Student Awards!

Today was AJ's Super Star Student Awards. His teacher picked him for the very first month of this school year.

His buddy Sal was also picked.

Daddy surprised us by showing up for the awards. After the ceremony Nicole, Me and Omar ate lunch with AJ and Sal to continue with our fun celebration of their success.
