Swimming

Jacob is finishing up his 6 week swimming class this week. Although we have seen much improvement in his stroke, he could use a little more work in the actual "getting in" part. He is still scared jump in. I'm hoping that with a little more practice and trust in his instructor, this too will improve. If not, it will be a LONG summer.

I guess if I pulled a move like that, I would be scared too. I am just glad he tried again. As Uncle Scott would say, that was a "full pull".

Let's Go Fly a Kite

Today was so windy outside, it was a great day to fly a kite. Believe it or not this is the first time we've tried this. Jake had a great time, while Jeffrey was not a thrilled. Every time the kite would come crashing down or fly towards him, he would scream in terror. We didn't stay out long because the wind was a little cold. Overall a great first time.

Jake's drawing of GOD

Sorry it has been so long since I have checked in. To tell you the truth , I don't even know what I have been busy with. We are back though and everyone is good. Now to the matter at hand.
I absolutely think this is the funniest drawing Jacob has done to date. Apparently his teacher Mrs. Jewell, wanted the children to each draw a picture of God and then describe it to her, as she wrote what they said on their picture. Mrs. Jewell proudly displayed each of the children's pictures in her class room for about 3 weeks. It wasn't until we were able to take the pictures home that I REALLY looked at it. I had one of the biggest laughs. I asked Jake to tell me about his picture he drew. Sure enough, he said exactly what Mrs Jewell wrote. That God was being silly because he was walking funny. I then asked him about "God's funny feet, and what a silly smile He had" He then pointed to the picture and said "and there's God's pee pee". It was confirmed, that really was what I thought it was. Details... details.... My Son the Artist, I am so proud.

The sickness has spread...

Jacob has the now even more contagious "flu". I think it's called Guitaroanaheroaddictivo, or something like that(I may have spelled it wrong). It's a new illness that doctors are just now diagnosing. Be careful you could be next!

Jacob was caught in action on the first video. Then he thought that was actually pretty cool, SO he wanted me to video him. I guess so he can look back and critique himself and improve in his technique. Apparently "note accuracy" is on the back burner, while his dance moves are seeing some great improvement. GO Jake!! YOU ROCK!!

Happy Birthday Jeffrey!

Can you believe it? My baby is now 2! He is now a real toddler. It seems like only yesterday we grew our family to four. Jeffrey has always been a very different baby right from the start. From the pregnancy to labor and delivery and the first two years of life, but he has fit in just perfectly. What is scary for me now is the thought that I need to really look at the idea of having a third. I really dont want them far apart in age, but am not sure that I can handle a third. I just don't have that many arms, or as Jacob would put it, "I am not an octopus"! What to do? All in favor say "I". Please check out my little guy in his 2 year old video montage. I yuv you! Please remember to pause the music at the end of my blog page.

Jeffrey's 2

SPRING!!!!

Thank goodness spring is finally here! I can't wait to spend more time out than in. I can't wait to open the windows to air the house out! Take the kids bike/wagon riding, go to the park without bundling up. Colorado and I seem to have a love/hate thing going on. I love living here but I can't stand the snow. The great thing about Colorado weather in the spring, is that it will warm and sunny one day, than the next it snows. People that love the snow get there share, without the rest of us missing out on the sun. Today is suppose to be 60 degrees outside. Oh how I LOVE the sun! Winter we will see you next time. For now, spring is in the hizhouse.
