Time Flies......!!!

Can't believe another week is done and gone. :)  We had a busy but very good week!  Ryan got to go to his first year of Vacation Bible School, which thrilled me as much as it did him!  He had a wonderful time, learned alot, and even got to sing on the church stage for their program, which was very exciting for him!  He wore his little VBS beads with his name on it almost all week, and couldn't wait to go every day!  VBS was such a fun and exciting time for me as a kid, just such precious memories.  I was able to go to our little country church VBS, all of us little country kids. :)  It was a wonderful time. A country church fellowship hall, which I can still remember the distinct look and smell if I think about it. :)  Singing classic VBS songs, making crafts, picking mulberries, playing with friends, and learning about Jesus made such a special week!! So glad my kids still have this type of opportunity. :)   They were invited to another VBS this month at a friend of mine's church, and even Colby can go this time!!  He's three-enough!!  :D
Now onto this week, and some "home-time" relaxing with my boys!!  Looking forward to a couple of days off this week with no major plans, other than sleeping in a bit, staying in our pj's a little longer than normal, and just being home.  Ryan has his last two t-ball games this week and next, so looking forward to those.  It's been really fun to watch the "Bullfrogs" play ball each week, and Ryan is getting so good!  Hits the ball in the outfield and runs like the wind!  :)  He looks so darn cute out there; I can just see him maturing and growing before my eyes.  My sweet sweet baby. Kindergarten is around the corner.  He did so very good at his physical and didn't bat an eye at his shots.....although he's quick to tell everyone that HE didn't cry but his MOM did!!!  :)  My boy.  And Colby was quick to help brother out, esp during his eye exam when Ryan was reading the eye chart and telling the nurse what the pictures were....when he was on the tiny row close to the bottom, he paused to think and Colby says "Ryan!! That one's a circle!!"  :)  The nurses & Dr  got a kick out of that!  ;)  Such a good helper, that little brother, who was standing much closer to the chart. :)
My Colby-pants and I have sure enjoyed our mornings together this last week while Ryan was at VBS; we did everything from watch cartoons to run errands to go to garage sales to playing outside!!  Lots of snuggles and, his favorite, yogurt drinks. :)  He tells me he's getting "so good at helping make cookies and kool-aide", and loves to be mom's little "shopping buddy"....  :)   As much as he wants to grow up like brother and go to school too, this mom is sure glad she has more time home with her baby before that happens!!   I just think back at that time I had home with Ryan before Colby was even born, and how now is my time with Colby.....it's just precious. :)  Just the little things at home together makes us happy!  :)
