biking to borders

June 19, 2009

we have an amazing neighborhood.

this is our second annual kids summer book club.
it’s officially a tradition.

starting last year…{and look here}…once school is out, we ride our bikes to borders book store. each age group/gender chooses the book they are going to all read for the summer. we have lunch at bajio’s, and then ride our bikes back home.

later this summer, each of us mom’s will host one of the age groups for a little book group based on the theme of their book. we’ll have games, treats, etc.

so so fun. and educational!

this is only a portion of our group.

in a galaxy far, far away…

April 28, 2009

a baby boy was born 6 years ago. The Jedi Council named him KJ, and he was strong with force. In the years that followed his birth, young KJ has been learning the powers of the Jedi. Now the galaxy is in turmoil because the Sith have learned of the boy and seek him. To overcome this threat, KJ will need the help of others- so a call is being sent out for brave younglings to come and learn the ways of the Force. Rhodes family and friends, you have been chosen to join forces with padawan KJ and the Jedi order to stop the evil Sith! These new Jedi must be trained. The Jedi training will be disguised as a b-day party so the Sith will hopefully not learn of our plans.

spring break

April 19, 2009

has been total chill at our home…including the weather, at times.

in the past nine days we visited a few parks, an arcade, went to a couple of movies, ate out a few times {including the new “five guys burger & fries,} the kids have had non-stop play dates and sleepovers with friends, we’ve cleaned-cleaned-cleaned for spring, and I still had school {boo.}

Myla and her friend boston have taken up a new neighborhood past time of “dumpster diving.” They also went fishing at night with headlamps, the girl was in heaven!

Kiana finished a couple novels, and slept in till 1pm nearly every afternoon. she also spent a good few hours playing this with Eli and Ethan-

KJ logged at least 100 hours on the x-box 360.

Throwdown elite training center

March 18, 2009
Daphne spear-headed Tegan and KJ getting memberships at Throwdown. It is a MMA, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, boxing, weight-lifting, yoga, etc etc gym… some serious tough stuff! If you’re not in this area you could check out another martial art place such as Attack The Back, but Throwdown is perfect for these two five year old boys who BOTH have three sisters! They need some roughin’ up!

This is only KJ’s second week, but it was my first time to drop in because it was my turn to pick the boys up and drive them home. I didn’t see what KJ was wearing when my friend picked him up to go today so my first reaction was laughter to see the boys dressed identical in their matching MEXICO soccer jerseys,
