One state champion soccer player vs. hopefully someday another

The boys are back!

Yesterday we picked up Sam from Woodinville and Max flew home from Spokane. His little brother was waiting for him with lollipops in hand and a big smile minus one tooth.

The tooth fairy needs scuba gear

Translation:

Dear tooth fairy,

I lost my tooth in the pool. Please give me my money.

-Sam

Sam lost his second tooth and by "lost" I mean he lost it in a swimming pool and never found it. Thankfully, the tooth fairy accepts hand-written letters!

One more out the door

Sam's off to Grandma Patti & Grandpa Gary's house for the week. No plane necessary to get to Woodinville.

First solo flight

Max is off to Spokane to spend the week with Pop Pop and Sue Sue.

Ready for takeoff

Subway meatball sub + Cool Ranch Doritos + Orange Crush = 10-year-old nirvana. 

The first solo phone might have been a bigger deal for Max.

Double pizza date

The boys had a pizza lunch date with mom and a pizza dinner date with me today. I think we'll have something for breakfast tomorrow!

Happy Birthday, America!

We once again celebrated the Fourth up north in Edmonds with friends!

The Edmonds 4th of July parade is also a part of the tradition!

We also met some superheroes 

And competed in the annual egg toss competition 

Which Sam and I won for the second straight year! 

Can't spell U.S.A. without us!
