Catching Up!

Although it doesn't seem like it as I haven't posted anything in a month.....we have been so busy and having so much fun enjoying this BEAUTIFUL weather.

Upward basketball has ended and baseball has begun! YAY! We love some baseball. Cohen is doing great on his new team-the Sluggers. He has been practicing hard and has had 2 tournaments already and one more this weekend! The littles have enjoyed hanging out at the ball field much more than I thought. They love running around and playing in the dirt with their "ball park friends." We usually pack a lunch and enjoy a picnic while we are there. Evan loves it so much that every time we are leaving the house he asks, "are we going to baseball?"

Cohen is being tested for SAGE at school. I an mot surprised, but I am thrilled that someone other than me noticed his "brightness." He has always been such a sponge and learns so quickly. He is reading on a 3rd grade level or higher! He is really quite the mathematical problem solver too and really analyzes everything! I have known all along how smart he is.....but I am his MOM! The testing starts next week at school. I am excited to see how it goes and look forward to him being pushed a little more at school. He has an awesome teacher that is exposing him to so many new things, but I think he really needs more than he gets with the regular classroom standards.

We went to the circus last week and the boys LOVED it--well, except the clowns. No one wanted a picture with them!!! The boys behaved so well....I was actually pleasantly surprised! I hoped for the best, but my bag was planned for the worst (with snacks galore, toys, etc to help us through). We didn't need any of that. They boys loved the show! They also enjoyed the ride to the arena. Evan was in amazement of the buildings and all the sights of the city!

We have been outside every waking minute it seems. All the boys love it outside. They DO NOT like when it is time to come in---I do have to cook dinner though and we must come in!
