Brotherly Love
Yes, look again. They are GETTING ALONG! Is that Brandon showing some brotherly love?
And there's no shortage of love for the pets, either. Brian loves his dogs and they are so patient with him. Brian lays on Monty daily and I think he loves it, despite the "get this kid off me" look in his eyes.
Happy Mothers' Day
What more could a mom ask for than free bowling on Mothers' Day?
Samantha is always smiling.

No parent can see enough of this
Brandon received an award in AVID Class for carrying a 3.5 or better. Sounds like he's doing well, huh? Well, don't let that fool you. He got it for the last semester of 8th grade. Let's just say his freshman year has been quite a challenge for him - although he just qualified for Honors English next year, so I'm still holding out hope.
Brian receiving an award for creative writing. They ask the parents to go on stage with the kids. I believe I've only gone up once, 6 years ago when Brandon was in third grade. I'm really shy. Yes, I AM!
We lucked out and Brian's class ended up sitting right in front of us. The kids don't know they're getting an award until they see their parents in the audience, so us in the front row right next to Brian was a dead give-away.
Oh, wait. Brian knew about this one. He brought home an envelope addressed to the "Parent's of Brian Lytle" and I, completely not thinking (yes, I've seen these before), told him to read it to us! He read along and stopped dead in his tracks when he got to the sentence, "This award is a surprise so please don't tell your child." Too late!
Travel Town
We headed over to Travel Town to celebrate Nicholas' 3rd birthday. It turned out to be a very nice day and most of the family was able to come, including Aunt Kathy and Uncle Gene from Ojai.
As you can see from Brian's smile, he had a blast.
New Pool Lytle Style
Lytle invasion of Jim and Mary's new backyard (Easter Saturday). Yes, we invaded, but Mary got us all back by refilling the Jacuzzi with cold water while we were in it!
