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!

Spring? Is that you?

No, it wasn't Spring, but we acted like it. This past weekend the weather was perfect! 70 degrees in January. I mean really? That's unheard of! But I guess we do live in Georgia!!!

We got outside as soon as we could after breakfast so we didn't miss a second. These boys love to play outside! L.O.V.E. it! Seriously, it is total meltdown mania when it's time to come in.

Even though I knew what was to come when it was time to come back in (crying, hitting, falling in the floor, etc), we ventured outside anyway! We rode bikes, drew with chalk, pushed cars, threw balls and ran in the road. We had a ball soaking up the sun's rays....while they lasted!

We were sad to see the warm weather end, but it gave us a glimpse of what's to come...hopefully soon! We are hopeful that the ol' groundhog will not see his shadow tomorrow so we can have more beautiful days to enjoy together just playin' and laughin'! We miss you Spring!







Bathtime fun!

Snaggle Tooth!

Cohen has had a wiggly tooth for a couple of days. It was the biggest "baby" tooth I have ever seen. The root was soooo long and gross. We have been trying to wiggle it and pull it, but it just wouldn't come out. Well, he lost it during lunch today at school when he bit into a grape! At bed time when we were about to tuck Cohen in we remembered we needed to grab the tooth. But? it was LOST! We lost the lost tooth! But only for a little while! We finally found it in the trash can....Guess who? Yep, Coop. He throws EVERYTHING in the trash can. Luckily, we found and it and all is well. The tooth fairy will be visiting soon!

Talking to Evan....

Me (practicing Evan's "facts"): How old are you?
Evan: Two.
Me: What's your favorite color?
Evan: I not know...I say ello
Me: What's your name?
Evan: Me.

LOL! I thought that was so cute! Wonder when people have to call him something other than "me"!

New camera pics...

Jeremy got me the camera I have been wanting for my birthday. I still have soooo much to learn and plan on taking some classes, but here are a few of the pictures I took with it.
