Brianna

Brianna lately has had a love of shoes she is always asking to put her shoes on. If she sees any type of shoes or socks she is putting them on. Everyday she is getting more of a personality it is so fun to watch. She is definitly letting you know that she is a big girl, she wants to walk everywhere instead of being carried and she wants to use the potty. Brianna is also now in a BIG girl bed. We ended up moving Ben downstairs (finally) and put Taylor on the top bunk and Brianna in the bottom bunk. She absolulty loves it.

Taylor

So Little Miss Taylor has been in dance since Aug and she has enjoyed very bit of it. So today we got to see her dance recital and see all that she has learned this yr and she did so good. She did 2 dances 1 was to itsy bitsy spider and the 2nd was old McDonald. her class seemed to know the dances pretty well were other kids didnt know them as well. Here are some pics of her in her recital outfit.

Last day of school

Bens last day of school was May 30. For his last day the kindergarteners put on a little program. They sang songs and then afterwards they had an ice cream social. It was alot of fun. Ben is now a big 1st grader he had to tell everyone that he was in 1st grade it was so cute.

Baseball

I know I just posted about Ben and baseball but at Bens game on Sat he hit 2 balls. He got a score for his team which was pretty exciting. The 2nd ball that he hit was a foul and he didnt hit anymore. I was so excited. He also played a really good soccer game. He got tripped during the 1st part of the game but he got up and played again. He kind of had to though since we had 3 kids show up and 1 showed up on the other team so Cole went and played for the other team. What great team spirit.

Baseball

We have been so busy these past few weeks driving Ben to Baseball, Taylor dance and Ben soccer. But we have been having a blast. Ben just had baseball practice yesterday and he was so excited cause he was able to hit the ball twice. We have been telling him to keep the eye on the ball but he seems to be missing all the balls he hits. Well Bryan took a picture of him trying to hit the ball and he closes his eyes! no wonder why he isnt hitting the ball=) Ben has Baseball practice 2x's a week and 2 baseball games a week one during the weekday and one on Sat. His 1st game and 2nd game overlapped but we were able to play one of the games on Fri night which was really nice. Ben is still doing really well in school. I am torn whether I want him to have a break or not. I know that sounds mean but when Ben and Taylor get together they seem to fight. ALOT. drives me insane.

I know this doesnt have anything to do with baseball but I made to cakes for my friends kids and I wanted to show everyone what I did.

Fun Weekend

Becky and Mike came out this weekend and we had a blast. They came out Fri night and got a hotel then on Sat morning they came over and we went to the park it was so cold but the kids had a lot of fun. At the park there is a huge slide that gets very dark in it and we could not get Ben to go down even if one of our lives depened on it. He was saying that he was scared of the dark. I dont know how he will move downstairs if he is scared of the dark. Spring Break went by really fast for us which was really nice.

Easter

I know I am late in posting this but Happy Easter we had a great day the night before we made resurection cookies which the kids didnt care for so I will not make them again. But the next day was good. The girls looked so cute in thier dresses. I will get them posted when Bryan down loads them.
The day before Easter was my friends daughters birthday and I made her cake for her it turned out really cute. I really love decorating cakes it is alot of fun. I made a butterfly for her. It was pretty easy to do once I figured it out.
We had parent teacher conferences for Ben the other day and he is doing awsome. He got all 3's and 4's. 3's are meeting expectations and 4 is exceeding expectations. His teacher is going to retest his reading to see where he is at. When he was tested the 1st time he was at end of 1st begining of 2nd grade level. She is working with him so well.
Spring Break started this week and yesterday was a crazy day the kids would not listen to me at all. But today is much better hopefully the rest will be good.
