Jake had his spring break this last week. He got to go to the beach and hang with his buddy Maddox. We got Tyler's baseball pictures back and they a pretty cute. Jake moved up to the next age bracket with soccer. With his birthday being at the very end of December he is the youngest and one of the smallest kids on the field now. I think it is going to be good and help him improve playing with older kids on his new team. He had a race today and podiumed for the first time on his 65 with a third place. Tyler went to watch our friend and neighbor Ellie and her cheer competition today (so glad I have boys!!!)

Happy Easter!

I had a business trip last week in Florida but made it back for Easter. We had a good Easter just hanging out with neighborhood friends.

Kristin and I met Tyler at school for lunch on Friday. Jake went to a birthday party on Saturday so Tyler and I took Kristin on a hike near our house. Tyler did great and this is the first hike he didn't complain on and he even wanted to go further. Took Jake mountain biking and he really pushed himself climbing the steep hills.

We survived a few days without Mommy while she was on a work trip. The boys were a big help, even helped me make lunches and breakfast.  It was a busy week. The boys were awarded their next belt in Karate. Tyler got the game ball in baseball. It's funny to watch him strut up to the plate like Babe Ruth. The elementary school had the country fair on Friday, which is always a big hit. And Jake had a race today and he did very well. No podium positions yet but he is improving tremendously against stacked gates of 25-30 kids.

 

The boys are enjoying the sun going down later and getting in some outside playtime after school. Kristin is out of town for a few days on business this week, so just the boys, Dungey and I holding down the fort.

Tyler helping Mommy make cookies, and yes, he is still checking out cook-books from the library for the past couple months! His favorite part is definitely taste testing!

Happy St Patrick's Day! That leprechaun evaded the boys trap again and messed up the living room. Maybe next year they will catch him. Tyler is doing great with baseball. So good that he is getting a little cocky when he walks up to the plate. He's telling everyone he is going to hit it to the moon! A regular little Babe Ruth!
