Happy Mother's Day

I absolutely adore these children and couldn't be any more honored to be their mother.

Zach's Dream Come True

My Mom and her friend stopped by our house the other night. Zach heard them drive up and peeked out the window and asked me who my Mom was with, because she was driving a Porsche 911 Turbo. When it came time to leave we walked them out and my Mom asked her friend to give Zach a ride. She one upped that and told him he could drive. He was more excited than I've seen him in a long time. Here is proof of his dream come true.

Mother's Day Tea

Tyler's school had a Mother's Day Tea and it was so precious! The kids sang two songs and then served the moms some cookies and lemonade. Tyler asked me to get him the food and then ate it all. Such is the life of a Mom...

Old McLucy Had a Farm...

We were at Tumble Time and Miss Jen asked Lucy what her favorite animal was. She said, "Mommy." The teacher asked Lucy what sound Mommy made and Lucy said, "Pfffft."

Soccer Clinic

It's that time of year again...the rain has stopped (sort of) and the sports clinics are starting. Tyler did soccer last year, but he had so much fun at the clinic that he's been asking to do it again. Why not? It's exercise and a good skill to learn. He had his friend Aden in the clinic with him and they had a great time playing together. Here are a few pictures from his last day (crazy hair and dress day), the game they played, and the certificate ceremony. It is a lot of fun and we are even more excited that Tyler is playing soccer in a "real" league starting in August. I'm going to be a soccer mom...legitimately.

Waiting for their names to be called...

And getting high fived at the end of the clinic...

And now we are on to T-Ball...

Swim Lessons

Tyler and Lucy are both in the middle of swim lessons in preparation for the summer season of swimming, swimming, and more swimming. Originally we had just signed Tyler up for lessons and figured Lucy could start next year. Unfortunately Lucy didn't agree with us and begged and cried and pleaded (no joke) until she got her way. We figured if she was THAT excited about swimming then it couldn't be a bad thing, right? Ask her again after the got dunked if she still wanted to do swimming lessons. That would be a no. Tyler, on the other hand is doing SPECTACULAR and loves his swimming lessons. He's doing really well too. I'm such a proud Mom.

This picture is really blurry, but it shows Tyler swimming to his teacher...on his own!

This just shows how happy he is with lessons

This is Lucy going down...

...and this is Lucy coming back up.

The pictures aren't great, but I wanted to share the experience with everyone!

Is There Such a Thing as a Pre-Teen Toddler?

Oh My Gosh! We really have a pre-teen on our hands here with this little Lucy. I don't know where she picked this up...but little miss attitude has a new saying. I hope this doesn't last long.

Fer-Goose-Licious

Zach likes to call Lucy Fergoose (like Fergie, I guess). We love the new Black Eyed Peas song and play it all the time. Now we've got Lucy singing it and it's almost better than the real deal.
