Bike playdate

On a beautiful March afternoon, I took the boys for an afternoon play date with some classmates from school and fellow co-workers kids (6 boys, 1 tomboy)! Brady was the youngest of the group, but was the biggest bully among them talking smack to the other kids.  "My bike may be small, but I bet I can go faster than you"

They started out the afternoon riding bikes in the parking lots and open buildings. There were some occasional breakdowns over hurt feelings and injuries...no surprise there!  At one point, our daredevil kids ventured over to a large parking lot with a 45 degree incline or better. After a few scary "flights" down the hill (mostly from the moms' perspectives), we talked the kids into spending the remainder of the afternoon at the playground. After a fun afternoon of sunshine and fun, we then took the kids for some dinner before parting ways. It turned out to be a great afternoon!!

Connor is in love!!

At Connor's annual eye visit, I was sitting with Connor and Brady in the consultation room waiting for the eye doctor to come in. We talked about their day, school, friends, and more. During the conversation, Connor announced "I'm in love! I know who I am going to marry when I am older!".

We proceeded to discuss who this person was, how she is an older girl at 6 1/2, and how she is so much fun! About a month ago, Connor had announced that he was trying to decide which girl of three was going to be his girlfriend. One of the girls was not making the cut since she left for India for 3 months (and Connor must have moved on). He had then narrowed it down to two remaining choices. We now know who won based on his announcement today!

Later that night, I asked him to tell daddy about her and he proceeded to describe her hair color, hair length, eye color, height, and how they play together at school. Young love....so sweet!!

Date Night

Chris and I managed to score a date night out for Valentine's Day weekend...a free date night at that! We had a kid-free dinner at Biaggi's and then attended the Really Big Show and the Curtain-Call Reception after the show! I had a blast at the silent auction...love spending money for a good cause!

While we were out enjoying time together, the kids had a nice night with Mimi & Papa! Thanks for watching the kids, so we could enjoy an evening out!

Connor's 6 Year Pictures

My baby Connor isn't a baby anymore....Connor turns 6!!

It has been hard to believe that I have a kindergartner and to think that I now I have a 6 year old! Connor has matured into a very smart, curious, creative, intuitive little boy, I mean little man!

Following is a glimpse of Connor's first 6 years! I showed this video to him and he loved it! I thought he was going to cry at the end, but he instead asked me to save the video forever. I teased him that he needed to stop having birthdays...it goes by too fast!

Brotherly Love...

I love the relationship my boys have with each other! They support, love and watch out for each other. They fight, threaten, and tease each other. Sometimes, they back up each other's stories and other times they reveal their version of the truth.

Perfect example of support and then the threat heard tonight....Connor said "I put your dirty clothes away that YOU left in the middle of floor! Now, you owe me a million dollars or else!!"

Sorry....

I know several of my friends and family like to keep up with us through our family website....sorry that I have been a little delinquent. The kids either keep us busy or we stay busy doing things with the kids...we have had a lot of fun lately! I hope to submit some updates from the last few months....not that anyone is really out of the loop if you follow us on facebook! However, this website is a great way for us to memorialize the Seaton Family events also....so keep posted!

Fall School Pictures

I love the kids' school pictures....they look so great! They are growing up so fast!

Bowling Adventure

For good behavior after pictures in October, we decided to take the boys bowling for the first time. Well, technically the first time if you don't count a daycare field trip the kids took when they were three. It was so cute watching the boys try to figure out the different ways to hold the ball. Connor always tried to do it the proper way (as best he could), which usually landed in a thud and then a slow roll down the lane. Brady decided pretty quickly that he was going to do the granny role which resulted in a decent amount of pins knocked down and a strike or two.
