Where has the time gone?

It's been two months since my last post. I deeply apologize for that, but we've been busy. Very busy. So, for now, I'm going to post a montage of photos with some very brief editorials. Enjoy the pictures! (Michael has a new ATV but I don't have any pictures to post of him riding. He's really enjoying the outdoors - riding his ATV, camping, etc.)

Evan's class went to the Rice Rock Museum for a field trip. He saw lots of different types of rocks.

During spring break, the boys went to soccer camp. Evan has the ball on defense.

Michael has the ball and the other team is trying to take it away.

Michael moves the ball down towards the goal. He picked up some good footwork during soccer camp!

Evan played goalie for the first time ever. He was so excited about this position.

Michael got a new bike as Evan needed a bigger bike. So, Evan got Michael's old bike - it's like new, so a new bike for Evan.

And a new bike for Michael. An adult size bike for him now.

It's Crossover day for Michael. Michael will be a Boy Scout and Evan got his Wolf badge.

The official crossover ceremony put on by the Order of the Arrow.

Michael gets his new shoulder loops from one of the Boy Scouts in his new Troop.

Michael is presented with his new Boy Scout Hat. He's now a Boy Scout.

Evan goes fishing for a cub scout outing.

Michael is fishing at Hagg Lake.

Michael fishes, but does not catch anything.

Evan sits and waits for a fish, but he doesn't catch anything.

Michael is ready for his first Boy Scout Campout. His pack is loaded.

Yes, his pack is very heavy. But the Boy Scout motto is Be Prepared!

In their patrol lines waiting to leave on their campout.

Off he goes to load up his pack in the Troop trailer. He had a great time camping he said.

Evan is all dressed for his baseball pictures. Then soon a game!

Evan was chosen to represent his school in the district science fair. He was very proud.

Mother's Day - Michael, Evan and mom. Note Michael is now 5 foot 2 and wears a mens size 9 shoe. Not a whole lot shorter than I am!

Evan's first baseball game of the season. He's up to bat!

Evan runs to catch the ball and gets it on the bounce.

Evan runs to first base and tags out the runner!

Evan runs to first base - he runs hard!

Evan gets upper braces - phase one of his treatment.

We're at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Evan and his friends are doing a scavenger hunt.

Michael and his team on the scavenger hunt.

All set up for sleeping in the shark tunnels!

Evan is laying in his sleeping bag. He's going to read while watching the sharks swim overhead.

Michael is in his sleeping bag in the shark tunnel.

Oh - look a shark. They are swimming all around the boys.
