A boy, a book, and a big heart!

Here's a good story about this sweet little boy!  First of all let me tell you that I fall in love with him all over again every day!  Just look at the face.

A couple of weeks ago his class went to the library to check out a book.  J.J. had forgotten to bring his in that day, but looked around anyway.  He found a book that he wanted, and the library assistant said she would put it behind the counter for him until he brought his book back.  

The next week he walked into the library, turned in his book, and looked around.  The assistant saw him and asked if he still wanted to get the book he picked out last time.  His shy little self just shook his head yes.  

 

Well this sweet little angel checked out this book for his princess loving twin sister!!!  Remember they can only check out one book!  When I heard this story my heart just melted.  This boy is such a precious gift, and oh how he loves his sister!!!  All I have to say is watch out boys you will have to get past J.J. first!

A quick update...

...Please don't give up on me in the blogging world!  I am still here, but just overwhelmed with how far behind I have gotten.  I thought I would post a quick update of our crazy life right now (okay we are always crazy)!

This picture made me laugh out loud when I saw it.  First of all who is that GIANT all over my boy, second what exactly is she doing, lastly why is the ball behind them???  Thought you might find it funny too!  No-Bo is enjoying soccer this fall and keeps us busy on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.  He is 7 and is playing in a U10 league because we wanted him to have that coach!  I think he is doing well holding his own,  and his skills are getting so good!

She strikes again...I think he's got this one this time!!!

...and one more time (I even have another picture with her trying to get the ball from him, but I will spare you)!

This boy LOVES playing football!!!  He really can not get enough of it!  He starts about a hour before we need to leave getting everyone ready!  We run the roads on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays for his practices and games.  His team is doing very well and will play in playoffs next week.  He actually scored his first touchdown tonight!!!  I love this boy and his work ethic...many lessons to be learned from him!

These two sweet monkeys are just along for the ride!  It is a good thing that they are laid back and just go with the flow because I drag them all over the place!  What in the world will I do when they are involved in activities???  It is a good thing that they have each other for company.  God really does know what he is doing!

This was taken today!  It is the quiet before the storm in which most people call Thursday night.  For us it was a football game in one place, soccer practice in another, dinner fixed and wrapped up so we could eat in the car on the way, finish football game, pick up soccer player, eat again, shower, and rush to bed kind of night!!!

(secretly I love every minute of it)

Oh that JJ smile!

You can not help but to smile when you look at this boy!!!  Love, love, love him!!!

5 year olds!

Happy Birthday to our precious 5 year olds Pipi and J.J.! 

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!!!

Easter 2011

 

 

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!!!

Wacky Wednesday!
