Boyd loves to play basketball and really enjoys playing at our new rec center. Getting much stronger and finding success at the regulation height hoops.  He also feels pretty cool shooting hoops with the big kids

Mothers Day treats. Finally a break in the rain to  strawberry pick.

Gramps was here.

Baskets and soon to be bellies full of strawberries.

First ice cream at Braehead of the season!!! The biggest ice cream cone EVER.

New hair cut. SO nice to see his eyes again. Hanging out at the park before the gym opens. He also said to me, "I think I am more of a cross country runner than track. Mom, were you better at cross country? Which one does Grandpa Ramsey teach? I think it runs in my blood." Yup.

Boyd is getting so tall and smart. He works so hard and is generally such a wonderful and fun person to be around. Can't get enough of this kid. And while I type this he is singing and dancing in the shower. Never a dull moment. 

We have a winner! Boyd won the sports and game raffle basket at school. I guess writing his name(first and last, plus his teachers name) on 200 tickets paid off. It has been so much fun playing with everything in the house during our rainy last week.

The bucket basket is cool too.

The bowling set was one of the main reasons he wanted this particular basket and it hasn't disappointed. SO much fun. Oh and not pictured but equally fun VOLLEYBALL. Been playing inside while holding our breath. Good thing we don't own many breakables.

A neighbor found this friend on her walk to the bus so we swept up the toad aquarium and kept him until after school. He sure liked Boyd.

Must have known Boyd is a turtle lover.

 Totally side notes: Last homework packet of the school year came home this week.
Also, Boyd is constantly thinking. The other day he asked who invented saying cheese when people get their picture taken. He thinks cheese must mean something in some other language. Or do other languages say something else when smiling for a picture? Food for thought. We are also enjoying Gramps visit and need to snag a few photos. He is off at lunch with Boyd as I send this update.

Floor hockey action!

Adam has an unfair advantage as goalie.

My little green thumb.

The ground is so tough he was balancing on the shovel like a pogo stick.

Mid March through mid April

So much wind this Spring. This kite stayed up in the air for 45 minutes before we reeled it back in. Two string rolls too.

New water bottle that mists water too.

Wet feet and wet socks and no tears. Tough guy in the making. Saw a copperhead too several minutes later.

Some times I can't help but post his funny answers.

In need of longer clubs.

Spring break on a mommy workout day. He helped me crush the icebergs in my ice bath.

First Musical at the high school. Jungle Book. He thought it was really good. Having our nanny and neighbor friends join was an added treat.

In character

This face cracked me up when I went back through my phone.

Tennis player. Always a fun activity.

So much fun and work the past month that rest is in order too. I love that he still snuggles with Turtley.

Lunch on the ledge with friends

Still the Kratt brothers at heart. Also brave. The water was freezing.
