Boys Update

Just thought I'd post a little something about what each of the boys have been doing since they have not seen nearly as much blog space as the girls (not that they care. . . but records have to be kept!).

Cache: He is a homework machine. His grades prove it. But that is okay. Some college out there will want him enough to pay his way and I'm good with that. In his spare time this past month (although I think it only took about 2 weeks) he put together this 2000+ piece puzzle. According to him, it is 'the coolest puzzle I own'. Anything more than 500 pieces gives me a headache. I'm not sure where he came from. But I like him a lot so I'll keep him :).
Caleb: Having a social bug in the house is good thing because it means he loves to help with the little ones. . . and what a great help he is. He is such a welcome sight after school because he gives me a break from Tessa. His big thing lately is his 'drink mixer' that he made out of Lego Robotics. Since this version, he has remodeled to have even more features. He's definitely the inventor in the household.Chandler: If this kid is not playing football, he is drawing it (since March Madness has arrived basketball has been added to his repertoire of drawings). His dream in life is to be a uniform designer. . .he is so attentive to details on uniforms. Sometimes when he points out uniform specifics he gets a bewildered look from me because I can barely tell you the colors of a few teams let alone whether they are made by Nike or Under Armour or have 2 or 3 stripes on the sleeve. . . But he definitely has a knack for things like that!

Two Thousand Pieces? Oh my gosh! My goad is to never do a 1000 piecer, althought we do have a fun one with different quilt blocks on it. I think we have actually done that one twice. It helps to have Dennis there. Would never happen with little ole me byself.

Love the drink mixer! And hooray for having such an awesome tender-big brother figure around. Such a blessing!

Too cute that Chandler notices such details! Who would've thunk?

What an array of personalities! Makes motherhood such a sweet adventure.

Way to be there for your boys. I asked mitch one day if he wanted to see some scrapbook pages I had done...he said no there all of Rylee. He is such a 15yr old boy though, he hates it when I tell him to come get his picture taken (he used to love it), but he always comes and is a good sport about it. He too, is such a good big brother. Boys are blessings!
