Blah...

It's rainy and cold here again, and I'm just wondering where Spring went?! Please come back...

Anyway, I registered Alex for Kindergarten yesterday, and he was so excited! After I filled out all the paperwork, they took us through the Kindergarten wing to give us a peek at the classrooms. I'm not sure, but I think Alex may have been a little overwhelmed. I found myself being a little sad as I drove Alex to Pre-K that morning; I can still remember the day he and his brother were born and I can hardly believe how fast time has flown. In just a few short months I'll have a 3rd grader and a Kindergartener! Ahhh!!

In other news, Clarence has been given the opportunity to be a part of a tv show through his job. He and the guys he works with will be part of a larger group of volunteers who are going to be restoring vehicles for people who have amazing and rough life stories. It's kind of like Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, except with vehicles. His first two days of taping will be April 11th and 12th, and he will be taping other days throughout the month of April. He's pretty excited, and I am too. What a great opportunity! This is the link to the show: http://searchandrestoretv.com/

Here are some recent pictures I have taken with my phone...

A couple of Isaac's school papers that I am especially proud of!

Here's to hoping the sunshine and warm weather returns quickly! Good night all!

Spring is here!

Spring is officially here, and we have had a few beautiful warm days. I love it! Yesterday the boys had their first soccer game of the season. This is Alex's first season to play. He has been so excited at his practices, and he seemed ready to play his first game Saturday. However, as game time drew closer, he got closer and closer to Daddy and said that he didn't want to play. Thankfully after standing on the sidelines for the first half, talking to the coach for a little bit, to granny and grandaddy, grammy and daddy, he finally decided he would play. So, Alex played the whole second half of his first game, and he did a fantastic job! He ran around the field trying his best to kick the ball, and he did a great job doing it! Also, his 'girlfriend' from school was on the other team, and that was just too cool for him. I think he went a little easy on her though and didn't try to kick the ball away from her when she had it. :)

This is Isaac's third season, and he is enjoying playing more and more. I am so proud of him and can hardly believe how big he's getting!

It has been quite the beginning to this soccer season. Isaac and Alex's cousin, Lucas, is also playing soccer this season. So, it is going to be quite an adventure catching parts to everyone's games. Especially when they play at the same time! Lucas played first yesterday, and Isaac and Alex both played after him at the same time. Thankfully, the fields all three boys played on were close together. The grandparents sat in a central location and could see both Isaac and Alex's games.

Happy First Day of Spring to everyone, and here are some pictures from our first weekend of soccer in 2011.

Chuck E's again and a young carpenter

This weekend we helped the Carons celebrate Aiden's 6th birthday at Chuck E Cheese. Two weekends in a row is enough to last us for a few months! :) The boys had a great time though, and that's all that matters!

the birthday boy!

Aiden and his really yummy birthday cookie - yep, a cookie! It was so good!

After Chuck E Cheese, we went to my parents' house so Grandaddy could show Alex how to use his new tools and to give him some scraps to work with.

Isaac wanted to be a part of it too, so he decided to try out Alex's saw. It was hard work!

We had a great weekend! Today we've done nothing but stay home! One more week and then the boys and I will be home a few days for Spring Break!
