I can't believe that I actually have a 10 year old. Time has flown by. Davey is in 5th grade and an awesome student. I always say that I don't have to worry about him doing well in class. He catches on quickly and knows what he needs to do to please his teacher.
Right now he is obsessed with all things soccer. He says he wants to be a professional soccer player and loves to watch international soccer. His favorite players are Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar Jr. He also loves Real Salt Lake. A few weeks ago we surprised him and took him to an RSL game. He was in heaven.
He also loves playing Minecraft and playing with friends. It has been a fun summer of staying up late and sleeping in each morning. Luckily it hasn't been too hard getting back into the swing of things.
Doing the traditional Bolivian birthday cake face smash.
Today we went to Lagoon. Both boys had fun riding the roller coasters and were extremely brave. Charlie decided to ride the Sky Coaster which is a huge bungee ride that swings you hundreds of feet in the air.
I know I am probably biased, but this kid is the most hilarious kid I have ever met!
We went to Las Vegas for Spring Break and Dave's sister Jeanne got us some free tickets to see Jeff Civillico's "Comedy in Action." He is a juggler and a comedian and he is pretty funny. He starts out by balancing different objects on his head. He asked for a chair from the audience, and took Charlie's chair and balanced it on his chin. Then he joked that he was going to balance the chair with Charlie in it. Well, Charlie thought he was serious, so he just climbed right up on stage! Jeff thought he was pretty funny!
Later, he pulls a kid from the audience to help him spin plates. I guess since he thought Charlie was such a good sport about the chair, he decided to have him come up again. This is the video we got of Charlie spinning plates:
We happen to think he was pretty awesome.
Some other hilarious things he has said lately:
Dave: Charlie will you go get me a Diet Dr. Pepper?
Charlie: Here you go Dad! I brought you two so now you have an instant refill!!
Charlie: Mom, I love you so much!
Me: I love you too, bud.
Charlie: Sometimes, Mom, I think I should love you more!
Charlie: Mom, can I go outside and play?
Me: Not right now, you need to eat lunch first.
Charlie: (in and angry voice) Mom! On care.com it says kids should be cared for AND have fun!
Me: Charlie, that is a website for finding babysitters.
This little guy turned one last month. I'm not gonna lie, he hasn't been the easiest baby (that was Davey). However, his cuteness makes up for it. One of his favorite things to do is ride on my grandmother's walker whenever we visit her house. He sits up there, so proud of himself and bounces and smiles.
We had close family over for his birthday. He thought the present were fun, but he really loved the balloons. He seriously went crazy over them it was so cute. We could have just gotten him balloons and he would have been happy.
He even got his own cake. He liked playing in it, but he only took a few tastes and then just made a mess.
At 13 months he is really close to walking. I am pretty sure he is going to be walking within the next week. He can already take 5 or 6 steps at a time. He loves to play peekaboo and to wrestle with his brothers. He is also a climber. This makes me nervous. I got lucky with Davey and Charlie, neither of them climbed, but this one seems fearless. He is so darn cute and we love him so much!
These two have so much fun hanging out together during the day. You'd think Johnny would get super tired of being dragged around all day, but he's pretty good natured about it.
