Pap-Pap came out to visit us for a week and helped build and put up a built-in entertainment center cabinets in our living room, which turned out awesome. The boys had fun playing with Pap-pap and were sad when they woke up and he had gone back to Maryland on an early morning flight Wednesday.

Jakes T-ball practice is going well. He is definitely one of the better players. I assist with coaching the boys and it's like trying to herd cats keeping all the boys on the team interested and on task. They all seem to have fun and that's what's important. Jake's best friend at school and a few of his classmates are on his team.

Tyler is doing well and is as cute as ever. We got him riding Jakes electric dirt bike in the grass at the park today. He isn't quite as fearless as Jake was/is but he did pretty well for his first ride by himself. I'm looking forward to when I can take them both to the track.

I signed Jake up for his first motocross race next Sunday. He is super excited for that. We went riding today and people always comment to me how good he is for being so young, so we'll see how he does banging handlebars in a pack.


 Jake had a charity fun run at school. He did 29 laps. Thank you to all who sponsored him.

 Jake had off school Friday so he, Mommy and the Ceglie girls went and saw the Lego movie
 And then Jake "accidentally" fell in the pool, so it became a swim day.

Jake had a follow-up eye appointment and we got some great news… he doesn’t need glasses anymore. 

He’ll get another check in 3 months and hopefully we are done for good with glasses.
Saturday morning Jake and I went to help get the fields ready for the spring T-ball/baseball season. After that he had his last day at soccer. Tyler went to a classmate’s birthday party at pump-it-up. Saturday night Jake and I went to Supercross. He was super excited since he has a motorcycle now. Sunday we went riding and I guess watching all the dirt bike movies and Supercross has paid off. Jake was riding like a champ! Standing up on the jumps, throttling out of the turns, and charging through the whoops. It’s been amazing to see him pick it up so quickly.


Grandpa comes to visit Wednesday for a week and the boys are super excited to see him.

Kristin made it back from Minneapolis and has almost thawed out from her trip.
Jake started T-ball last Saturday. He did pretty good and is actually one of the better players on his team. Its fun to watch, and is definitely a challenge to keep 5-6 years engaged to play T-ball for an hour.
We had the Conte's over for the Super Bowl. We had to take a t-ball break half way through the game.

  My bed partners when Kristin is gone, and yes they are sideways.
