School Year 2010-2011

What a great year that you boys had this year!!  Mom and I could not have asked for 3 better little boys!  I don't think that any of you got in any trouble at school, and ALL of your report cards were just un-stinkin-believeable!  You all exceeded your teachers expectations.
    Jay was in 5th grade this year, and his teacher was Mrs. Latty.  You could tell that she really loved Jay.  She even came to watch Jay play in one of his baseball games!  And Jay really responded well to her also.  I think that Jay took a major step this year in 5th Grade....now onto Middle School!!  Hope you are ready, Jay Tyler.....Mom and I are super proud of the young man that you are turning into!  We love you!

    Cody was in 2nd Grade this year, and his teacher was Mrs. Wilson.  You have turned into an amazing little boy!!  I cannot tell you how proud of you!  When I look at you and see how far you have come, especially in your speech, my heart just about bursts with joy!  Your speech teacher is Mrs. Harvey, and she says that you are the hardest working student that she has ever had....and that speaks volumes!!  You were the unofficial "leader" of your class.  All of your classmates seemed to look to you for decisions to be made about stuff...the most important being what to play at recess.  You always took the lead and made the decision!  We cannot wait to see what the Intermediate School is going to bring for you next year.  We know that you will do great!  We love you!

    Riley was in 1st Grade this year, and his teacher was Mrs. Taylor.  I don't even know where to start with Riley.  You exceeded everyone's expectations.  You were basically done with 1st Grade level stuff before half of the school year was out.  Mrs. Taylor had to find stuff for you to do in order to keep you challenged.  You had the most AR points in your class (except for the little girl that cheats), and you love to read!!  You were a leader in your class as well...the leader of the "boy squad" with your little friends, Nick and RJ.  We are so proud of you, and we cannot wait to see what 2nd Grade has in store for you next year!  We love you!!

Riley's barbershop

Well, I took 7 years, but Riley finally became the first Baughboy to cut his own hair.  No reason was given, but he just took a pair of scissors and went right down the middle....all the way to his scalp.  Cody asked him what happened, and Riley said that he fell in PE.  Riley was really embarrassed about it...he is the most particular Baughboy about his looks....so it was a little rough on him.  His teacher, Mrs Taylor, had to go out of the classroom and call mommy the day that she saw him at school.  So, the next night, I skinned his head to try to cover up the damage.  I've put before and after pictures on here so that one day we can look back and laugh!!

Riley's Game Ball

Riley came to play today!!  Riley's and Cody's team played a double-header today, and both of the boys did very well.  Cody played an excellent catcher in the 2nd game and got a couple of hits.  Riley played left center and he was smokin in the field.  He did not let anything get past him, and I bet he had a dozen balls hit to him.  He played them just right each time.  Coach Tony awarded him with the game ball for today.  Riley was grinning from ear to ear.  After the game, they gave the boys lunch (Hot Dogs and chips) then Coach Tony treated the team to blizzards at the local DQ

Riley's sound effects

Riley has so many talents....not really sure who this one comes from.  As you can see in the video, he has learned the art of the underarm poot.  He has also mastered the behind the knee "machine gun poot" as well.  I'm thinking that he and his mom practice this while I'm at work....

Easter Egg Toss

Boys, one of your favorite things to do is to throw stuff off the unfinished houses in our cul-de-sac.  It doesn't really matter what the "stuff" is, either.  Last summer I posted a video of you guys throwing watermelon rinds...tonight it was the leftover Easter eggs.  You were so excited when Mommy told you that you could go throw them.  Lucky for you, I took this video, so we could see it forever!!
