Snaggle

It has taken a while for No-Bo's teeth to start falling out, but he is loosing them every other day now!  Love to hear him talk without his front teeth!

Our soon to not be 4 year olds!

WARNING...PICTURE OVERLOAD!!!  These two are almost five years old, and just absolutely precious together.  I couldn't decide which pictures I liked the best, so instead of deciding I just added them all...it is after all my blog!!!   I wish that I could bottle them up and keep them this way forever!  I guess you can tell who the boss is in these pictures.

Pre-school graduates


Pipi and JJ attended the most wonderful preschool at the high school this year.  They do such an amazing job, and I am sad that I no longer have little ones to send there.  Most mornings they would get to ride to school with Jeff, and I would pick them up after their "lunch bunch".  They put on an end of year program that was so sweet.  This year is was a nursery rhyme theme.
Look who had to attend the ceremony!  Schweetheart and Schweetheart had a front row seat!



Pipi won the wittiest award, and JJ won the best comedian award...those two together are trouble!



Can't you just see them at their high school graduation???

Here is the class with all of the interns.  They really get attached to the preschoolers.


 
Just a snippet of some of the program.

Well it is off to Kindergarten for these too!!!

Soccer, soccer, soccer...

..




...is all we have been doing lately!!!  I helped coach soccer this spring at the high school for my 3rd year, so I have been busy with that since January.  Our season ended on Monday with a 9-0 win!  I can't lie and say that it hasn't been nice being home in the afternoons again. Getting out of the house in the afternoons is always kind of hectic.  Jeff has to run pick up the big boys from school, and then get home in time for me to rush off to practice.   Lets just say it is nice to have that chunk of time back!




L.C. is playing soccer again this spring on a U12 team.  He is doing great and enjoys playing up with the bigger boys.  He is so much fun to watch play.  That boy never stops moving out on the field.  Even when he is not involved in a play is bouncing up and down!



No-Bo is also involved in soccer on a U10 team as a 7 year old, so he is playing up too!  It has been very exciting watching him play...he is pretty fast.  This is his first time playing an organized sport (I hold them off in being involved in anything as long as possible because one day all 4 kids will be going in different directions, and I will have to save my sanity for then!), and I think he is really enjoying being part of the team.  This video shows him scoring a goal.  He is on the #65 on the blue team.

I think that they both play into May, so we have a few more hectic weeks of shuttling them around and trying to figure out how we can get who where!  I am so looking forward to the lazy days of summer!!!

Math Fest



 L.C. was selected from his school to attend the state mathfest, so a couple of weeks ago we traveled down to The World Congress Center in Atlanta to watch him compete.  I have to admit I wasn't too thrilled about "watching" kids do math problems, but I was blown away when I got there at what a big deal it was.  They said they had over 8,000 kids competing that day! 
Here is just a snap shot of the mass of people that were there.


    
  These are the 4th grade tables competing.  This is how many kids there were at the beginning.  Can you spot my smart boy?









This is how many kids were left when L.C. got out of the competition.  He was 1 question away from getting to go the the regional competition.  We are very proud of him...and he says he is not good at math!!!

Ahrr me matey!


These two cuties melt my heart everyday.  They are so precious together.  I wish that I could video all of their interactions with each other.  They truly have a special bond!  On this day they decided to dress as pirates and went into the woods to set up camp.   Love, love, love them!!!!
