Okay I am totally guilty of neglecting this blog again. I admit it. I do not have any intensions of giving it up, it is just that stuff keeps getting in the way! Soooo, in the past two months this is what we have been up to:
Brighton has followed in his Dad, and Uncles' family tradition of racing Soap Box Derby cars. This is a timeless sport that is really super cool! I like it because it is just something different! He did 3 races. Started out really questionable but by the last one he was doing AMAZING!! Steering great and even driving stratigically based on what his Dad and Grandad were telling him to do. We are really proud of his quick progress. He has been the youngest driver at most races and should really be on top of his game next year! He has a great car (due to his super talented mechanically inclined granddad)  his dedicated father AND we are super lucky to have such awesome, amazing sponser (!!!!).  

The local Denver paper did a story on him and I think it is so cute! http://www.lakenormanpublications.com/denver_weekly/flowe-family-continues-tradition-of-soapbox-racing/article_71e517fc-30f8-11e7-a468-f3c5faeb65f6.html

Meanwhile, both kids have been doing soccer and Baylor is really really good! So proud!

Brighton has been continuing to lose teeth. It is almost hard to recognise him these days!

Wesley is doing well! 

Sports are taking a lot of our weekend time, but we have been able to do some other fun things as well. Taylor had a super cute farm themed birthday party. Baylor really enjoyed the petting zoo!

as well as hanging out and having playdates around the house!!

Had a wonderful Mother's Day and I am so proud to be Mommy to these two handsome and SWEET boys!

We are gearing up for a HOT summer! We got the boat in the water and have gotten in a couple of leisurely rides. Now we are just counting down to school being out and vacation time!!! 

Spring Sports

Last year we signed Baylor up for soccer but when it came time for practice he got shy and backed out. After being on the sidelines all last spring of Brighton's games and practices he was more than ready to play this year! So now they are both signed up. Baylor is a star! Scoring 4 goals in his 1st game. Brighton is not so bad himself. scoring 2 and being very speedy! Michael is again on his team so that makes it even more fun!! 

Brighton received a 3rd Belt in Karate. 

School pics.

After a long absense from this blog, I am back! I must blame the problem on my phone/camera which was not allowing me to send pictures to my email to use on here. Anyways, lets see what we have been up to. Christmas was wonderful again this year. We are all so fortunate! Spent great time with family. The kids loved every second of it all!

Rang in 2017 at the Antley Oyster Roast. Fun fun times!

Had a couple of snow days, which Jason missed because he was on a work trip. We played and stayed warm inside as well! 

We went to Warner Robbins GA to celebrate my grandmother's 91st birthday! Got to see all kinds of relatives. Aunts, uncles and cousins of my dad. So proud of the recovery my grandmother has made from her serious car accident last summer. 
Was planning a party for Brighton's 7th birthday but he chose instead to take a friend to the Great Wolf Lodge. Baylor's best bud John Chace shares a birthday with Brighton so we made it a group trip and it was so much fun!! The kids are already begging to go back but we will have to make that a very special occasional place!! 

This was the school rock we painted for Brighton's birthday. It is supposed to be a karate theme.

Spring is right around the corner!!! 

Into the holidays...

we go. I have not posted in a while. We have been BUSY. We got together for Rachel's birthday. The Flowe cousins had a great time! The kids got to decorate!

We got decorated at our house as well.

Had Thanksgiving at the Antley's new house. Mickey fried the best turkey ever in an oilless fryer! 

Brighton lost his 1st tooth!!! He has several more that are loose. 
What a new phase this will be!

I attended a girl's night out in Denver which was nice. 

Brighton and Jameson were both in the Denver Christmas parade. Baylor and Michael watched. 

Jason and I went to Rebecca's wedding and it was beautiful!

We got to attend a couple of fun Christmas parties.

We just returned from an Impact Sales group trip to attend the Flex Seal party in South Beach. We had a BLAST!!! One of the best parties I have ever been to. A dinner cruise of Miami on a yacht Friday, sight seeing on Saturday and a HUGE dinner/dance party with entertainment on Saturday night. We left Sunday after a brunch at the hotel

.

Brighton and Baylor stayed with Max and Connie and enjoyed some Christmas festivities as well as bowling!

Brighton's last day of school before break is tomorrow. I had better get ready for Christmas.
