And the busy weeks begin . . . .

So, this week began the start of a busy week w/activities and spending time w/friends. Over the weekend the boys and I went and hung out w/my Bff Julie and her girls. Since we had do do a lot of yard work before we went-we didn't get to spend as much time w/them as we hoped. But maybe next time! On Monday, Noah started his tennis lessons. He has been begging for a long time to play tennis. And was happy to find a class this fall that works w/our schedule. His coach told him he was doing great and had good potential on the FIRST day! Go Noah!
Noah was glad that there were other boys in the class!
Eli chillin' and watching his big brother.
Lucas was keeping himself entertained.
Of course, Tovi had to come. He hates to be left behind. And he loves to meet new people.
Noah did a good job of following his instructions. He just needs to work on his control. When I took lessons as a kid- I too had the same problems. Funny Huh!
After a good workout, Noah was ready for a cold drink. So, we got out the ice cream maker and made some cream soda slushes.
Eli helped w/dinner and made his fav chicken alfredo. Yummy!
Eli scooped up the slushes into glasses. Delish!
Lucas is learning to tie his shoes and he pulled out a pair of old shoes to practice. Unfortunately, they were too small. He thought if he kept wearing them-hoping they would get bigger. Poor guy-he does a good job w/catching on. Maybe Lucas needs a new pair of shoes that tie so he can practice. Hhhmmm!
Chef Lucas is back and making cornbread muffins!
He LOVES his man-whik! Look how fast he can whisk.
Lucas decided he wanted muffins instead of cornbread and they were Yummy!
Tovi got his hair cut this week. So, you know how I love before and after pics!

The boys had a half day of school on Tuesday- Noah's friend Alyx came and spent the afternoon. My bff Brooke came and hung out for a while w/her boys. And then Brooke and I had a girl's night-at a a spa/saloon that she had won from 102. I also joined a bible study at church and met some really neat ladies. Noah also joined mathletics again the year and Eli is thinking he might want to join.The calendar is getting pretty full. But we are enjoying all of our activities/time w/friends, and just trying to make the most of our family time. With Lucas's bday next tues and the book fair coming next week- it may be busy but come back to see pics of all of our FUN!

Wow! You are busy, busy, busy with the boys activities. Great pictures at Noah's first tennis lessons. It is great you were able to find him lessons during the week. I know how much he enjoys having his brothers come and cheer him on. The boys look like they are enjoying all of their cooking time. I know they are looking forward to the book fair. They always love to get them books. By working the book fair you are able to help them pick the best books. You are a GREAT mom. Tovi looks so different with his new cut. He doesn't even look like the same dog. He is too handsome!
