Our little T-ball player

We are so excited to be embarking on a whole new world of sports and activities for the boys. This is such a blast! I told my Aunt Denise how excited we were & she said this was her fam's first year not doing baseball....they had 16 straight years with their 4 boys! Jimmy & I spent many evenings in Denton at her boys' games while we were dating....day dreaming about our own children. :) Elijah is playing at the same field that Jimmy & his siblings played many years of baseball...how cute is that!

Elijah's first school report

We had our first parent/teacher meeting yesterday at Elijah's preschool. His teacher is pretty shy so during drop off/pick up time there really isn't time to chat & they only do one meeting a year so I was really anxious to hear what she had to say. He got excellent on every part of his assessment!! He can write his name, knows all letters, sounds, numbers, shapes, colors, days of the week, knows the class prayer & class missionaries. He is ready to begin reading so we are going to start working on that. So she reaffirmed what we already thought...he's smart! :) Yea! We are really proud of the behavior part of the assessment too being that he is a boy & 4, they can get a little wild. She said that he loves to tell his ideas/stories (oh yeah he told my burned turkey Thanksgiving story including the fire dept coming to our house & everything!) Here are a few of her comments: "Does well listening without interrupting" "Leads others in great playtime activities & comes up with creative play ideas" "Very well at demonstrating self control, respectful, & courteous" "He is very much a class leader, the others look to his lead, he is kind to others and doesn't exclude them from play (apparently some of the other kids will tell each other they don't want to play with a specific kid) :( He does so well with all aspects of class, has fun things to offer and loves to create projects." She couldn't believe his drawings, she pulled out pictures that she had saved from the beginning of the year & compared them with his latest and it is incredible. He draws our minivan, dad's scions from work, our house & everything is full of details. These pictures are easily identifiable, let's just say much better than I can do! We have this report in writing so we'll definitely have to save this! Not one negative mark. We took him to Magic Time Machine last night for his report & had a great time. Our waiter was Denis the Menace, which he had no idea who that was, just thought the way he acted was weird. Luckily a pirate kept walking by and a clown lady that made him a dinosaur out of balloons so he ended up thinking the place was cool.

Issac is 2!

Just a few shots from his party on Saturday! I can't believe how time flies, he's not our baby anymore. He is just so cute & lovable, still cuddles in our laps and gives great hugs and kisses. After prayers at bedtime, he says "night night, love you" as we walk out. He does have his little stinker moments but that is to be expected...aren't the 2's supposed to be terrible? He & Elijah really have a great time together, they still share a room and it is the best thing. They love it! They talk & frequently laugh, it's just them being brothers and my wish is that they will grow up very close.

My brown eyed boy! The boys went to a birthday party at the bowling alley last weekend, it was their first time and they had a lot of fun.
