End of school countdown....

We are on the last stretch of school and Kyle is counting down the days. His last day of school is just two days before his 9th birthday and he thinks these days are going by way too slow! Finishing out his 3rd grade year and looking forward to a fun filled summer, we have a few golf outings planned and he is ready for "hot pool days". I would have to say summer is his favorite time of the year, I sometimes think he is part fish...he spends more time swimming under water than he does above water....

Of course we are not fortunate enough to have a pool in our back yard but we do have some wonderful friends that live nearby so we do get to take advantage of their pool often. Kyle loves the beach too so we get there as much as possible. We are only about a 45 minute drive away so it is nice for a day trip....we always have to take the boogie board because Kyle has to "ride the waves". The only thing he doesn't like is the sand that gets in his sandwich no matter how careful he is getting it out of the cooler. That is always a huge complaint that makes me laugh. It never fails, he will go rinse of ten times in the water and will still stick his hand in the sand when he sits down to eat. He finally gives up and just eats his lunch...sand and all!

Kyle and Dad have been enjoying the frog infestation that have been taking over our neighborhood for some reason. Because we have had such a wet winter, we have the cutest little tree frogs EVERYWHERE down our street. So this past weekend Jeff and Kyle took a bucket and captured about 25 of them and brought them home. Why they brought them to our house I have no clue, not sure why we would need that many frogs in our yard!! Kyle tried to put them in our outdoor potted plants with a little cup of water and explained he was creating a comfy home for them. I was secretly praying the wouldn't get too comfy!! Cute little frogs but I didn't feel the need to have 25-30 tree frogs as pets! Thankfully they all found new homes elsewhere because they are no longer in our yard....although I did over hear the neighbor complaining about all the frogs in his back yard..ooops!

This was one of the little guys...

Kyle has also been enjoying his soccer season, he has two more games left. He plays outside mid and forward which ironically is the same positions his sister Kaley plays also. They are so much alike it is almost scary! The both love to watch soccer on TV too. Just yesterday we were watching the women's USA vs Japan game and Kyle said "You know girls are not half as dramatic as boys are when they play soccer!" Great observation Kyle and I so have to agree!!! But then in the next breath he asked if in his next game he headed a ball into the goal, could he take his shirt off to celebrate.....oh geez!! Talk about dramatic! haha!

Some of the latest soccer pics..

Kyle and Jeff leave for Monterey, CA on June 4th for the Safeway Invitational. This will be the second year attending this event and Kyle is really looking forward to it. Make sure to follow him on twitter as he keeps everyone updated about his trips..yes Kyle is on twitter! It is the funniest thing ever, some of his posts crack me up. He is really not sure how it all works just yet (we aren't either to be honest) but he has funny posting tweets and seeing how is "following" him. Click here to follow Kyle on Twitter
