Bat Boy

Dreyton thinks he is pretty cool stuff being the bat boy for Dustin's softball team. I think he looks pretty cute out there!
Jace is just happy being on the other side of the fence, finding rocks to throw at his brother and bugs on the ground to kill.

Another great Jace face...

Well, Mel, you always say that Jace has the funniest looks on his face in pictures, so here is another one for you. Grandma Larsen gave Jace a Superman shirt that even has a cape hooked on to the back of it. Jace thinks it is the coolest thing in the world! Everytime he wears it he puts on his 'tough' face, like the one in the top picture, and 'flies' around the house making flying noises.

Tooele Update

Well, life in Tooele has been pretty good to us. I don't really love the town but I sure love our neighborhood and all the great friends we have made!
Dreyton is getting ready to graduate from pre-school. Well.... he still has another year of it, so he'll have another pre-school graduation next year, but it is still sad for me. He misses the kindergarten cut-off by one day, and I am really happy about that. I'm not ready to let him grow up and leave me. He kept telling me he didn't want to go to kindergarten and said he was going to pretend to be sick every day so he didn't have to go, so he was pretty excited to have another year in pre-school, too. I am excited to see him at his graduation though. All the kids are putting on a little program, and they each have a part to say in it, and then they are playing a song on their recorders. It is going to be so funny. I'm not sure about the protocol on inviting people to a pre-school gratuation, so if you are reading this, and want to come, you are more than welcome to! It is on Wednesday at 6:30.
Jace is growing up fast, too. He is at such a fun age! Well, most days anyway. He is at the age where every single day he is surprising us with new words and new tricks. He is also at the age where most of the day is spent saying "I do it!!". He doesn't want help doing anything and thinks he is such a big boy.
The two boys are the best of friends and the worst of enemies. When they fight, it is an all out punching and wrestling match, but when they get along it is wonderful! I love the days that they get along so much that it is hard for me to not follow them around with a camera taking pictures and making myself remember those moments. I love when they can make each other laugh. I don't know if there is anything better than to listen to little kids laughing. I love it!!
Dustin has been keeping himself busy at work. He also is loving playing softball. He is on a pretty good team which makes it even funner for him. Dreyton is the bat boy and is loving it! He thinks he is pretty cool out there high-fiving all the guys when they come in and picking up eveyones equipment. He gets pretty worried about his dad though. Last night after Dustin slid into third base, Dreyton started screaming "Dad! Your leg is bleeding!! Dad! Look at your leg!" I think even the guys in the outfield could hear Dreyton screaming. When Jace saw the blood though, he just said "Awsome!".
As for me and my life, I sure can't think of anything exciting that I have done lately, but I stay busy by playing, teaching, refereeing, cleaning, washing, entertaining, babysitting, cooking, fixing, loving, hugging, yelling, and everything else you can think of.
Well, that is the latest update from Tooele. Not a whole lot going on, but with the luck we have, that is a good thing!

Dreyton wanted to have fun with my makeup, so I put some whiskers on him. He got mad though and said he wanted different whiskers and glasses so he could look like what his dad looks like in the mornings. So, I drew

it on him, and then we put glasses and freckles on Jace to look like me. We were just having some fun and I was going to wash it right off. Jace had other plans though, he went and found a PERMENANT blue marker and drew all over his face. His new look lasted a good week! That blue marker was NOT coming off!

Another Rowley Night...

Dustin, killing two birds with one stone, watching basketball and entertaining the kids Every once in a while he would throw in a pushup or two.
The boys LOVE their dad!!

Dreyton's Field Trip

Dreyton, with his best freind Cameron.

I was able to on Dreyton's preschool field trip with him to a farm. It was so fun! I am taking advantage of these years that he is proud of me instead of embarrassed. Dretyon was able to ride a horse. He was so nervous and I don't think he took a breathe the whole time! When he was done, though, he was so proud of himself and hasn't stopped talking about it since. We ate homemade rolls, homemade butter and jam, fed some horses, and chased some pigs. Jace came with, and thought the pet dog was the best part of the trip.

Jace's Birthday

Here are some pic's of Jace's birthday celebration. He had so much fun. We had a BBQ with Corey, Dawn, Zach and Megan and then had dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Rowley. It was so fun to have visitors, and Jace loooved being spoiled with toys that didn't belong to Dreyton.
