My little Gymnastics boy!!

Alex has been going to gymnastics for about 8 months now and he's been doing so great. He really loves it too. 

Alex practicing strong arms


His coach Lori has really been working with him to pull himself up by himself. He can now get himself up to were his chin just touches the bar. He even got to ring the bell for doing such a great job. And he's so cute, afterwards he comes over and flexes his muscles for me and tells me that he's way strong.  


His class all did so well at the end of practice they got the parachute out to have a little fun. 


At the end of every practice everyone gets a stamp!! 


I'm a proud momma, Alex is so fun to watch in the gym.

Kangaroo Zoo Time

It's been raining and snowing the last week and the boys have been having cabin fever. Ken wanted to take them to Kangaroo Zoo, he'd never been...perfect rainy day thing to do!! 

It's hard to get pictures with them bouncing around so much but i managed to get some good ones. 
















Braxton's first Basketball game

Braxton has been playing basketball for a few years now. This year his team is right at his school which is way nice because he gets to have some friends from school playing with him. He's been doing great. 

My camera battery died so i only got a couple of pictures....which were just them warming up. The game was pretty much even, it was way fun to watch. The Ref's were teenage boys which i though was really neat. 




Good job Braxton!!

Alex's new dresser

When Alex was born we had just bought a small dresser at Walmart. One of those that you have to put together yourself. Needless to say it's not built to last very long. It started off one drawer wouldn't shut, then three wouldn't shut, then a knob or two fell off, then the bottom of the bottom drawer just straight fell out and his clothes were on the floor. 


Grandma and Papa bought Alex a MUCH needed new one. They are the best and we are SOOO thankful. 

The dresser is perfect and matches his bed exactly. 


We decided to switch Alex's room around, we asked him how he wanted it and so we moved his bed by the window. 




He's a happy boy!! 


Then Ken and Alex went outside and made a little fire ...breaking up the old dresser and burning it. 



Alex had made some bird food at preschool last week. It's half a bagel with peanut butter on it then a bunch of bird seed stuck to the peanut butter. Ken helped Alex hang it in the tree today. 


What a good dad. 


Ken and a bagel in a tree.....lmao...love it! 


Hopefully they come eat it! 


Hammond Day Care

Wed we babysat Kaycee and Aiden plus had Alex and then Braxton once he got out of school. All the kids were SO good, and they had such a blast playing. 


Alex was so excited to show Aiden his video games....he's always excited to have a friend play with him. 


and Aiden was totally into it


Alex looks so serious!! lol 


Meanwhile Kaycee was running around...up and down the stairs...

She's peeking at me!! 



Then she comes over to me looking like this. Too stinking finn


Aiden decided he wanted to be a pirate


We got this huge popcorn bin for Christmas and it's still half full. The kids were all about the popcorn. 



When i picked up Brax from school i just grabbed a couple of pizza's....and i think they were all hungry...they all ate so good.

Braxton loves Kaycee. He doesn't get to see her much because usually when we watch her she's gone before he's out of school. So he was super excited to see her. 


Aiden and Alex were joined at the hip all day....


how cute are they??!!!




Kaycee giving me a little wink smile. lol.  She pretty much wore her pizza so we had to find a shirt that Alex outgrew for her. She's so tiny it was still pretty big on her. And of course we only have boy shirts....hahaha, she's sporting a four wheeler shirt. 


Kaycee was getting pretty tired and climbed up on Alex to chill. They sat like this for about 30 mins. 


We had a great time having the kids over.

My Boys

The Hammond boys in this family have some fast growing THICK hair....I think after Alex was about 1 year's old i decided i wasn't paying for haircuts every month...so i just taught myself. I'm not able to do anything fancy but i can give a basic boy haircut. AND it's free! 

Gave them all much needed haircuts today.....



aren't my boys so cute!! Love them so much!!!
