Had a Dad fail moment this week. Kristin woke up sick Thursday, so I told the boys to get dressed while I fixed their breakfast (cold cereal, as opposed to her waffles and bacon). We hurried out the door and Maria was kind enough to take them to school so I wouldn't be late to work. Below is the text and picture she sent us shortly after I dropped them off at her house. Thanks again Maria! It takes a village!

Tyler got a job for a few minutes as a cashier at Lowe's.

Nothing like being woke up by a drum solo!

Jake started a new race series. He made it to the top of the podium to start the 4 race series as the points leader in his class.

We got some much needed rain today so we all went to the movies to see "Hotel Transylvania 2".

Mommy met some friends up in New Port Beach over the weekend, so the boys and I held down the fort. It was warm so we went to the beach and relaxed in the pool.

 WIPE OUT!

 Ty loves collecting shells

 One thing is for sure, the beach wears them out.

The school's lost and found cart was falling apart so we volunteered to make a new one. The boys were a big help. Jake got the game ball today. He was really hustling and made a big over the infield hit to get a double.

Jake tried out a new skate park on his bike.

 

 

Jake started fall ball today playing with the Cubs.

 

The boys getting into the spirit of the start of football season.

Tyler just tackled Jake and stripped the football away!

We are pretty sure that football will be Tyler's sport!
