SWIMMING LESSONS!










Ethan and Alexis are taking swimming lessons from a new place this year and are loving it! Ethan will complete Level 2 and Alexis will complete Level 1 by the end of next week!

Ginger....the new dog



HA! What a crazy weekend! Friday my sister calls and tells us to get on the computer to skype! (I knew something was up). WOW! They got a 10 week old St. Bernard! I was so shocked, but she's a cutie! Big, lovable, furry, not yet slobbery puppy who is great with kids! I do think Christina's family is a good fit! They will love her and she'll love the space!
Then, mom and dad come for the weekend and Sunday bring home a Chihuahua!!! So, we now have 2 more to add to our family of 12!!! Here are some pictures of Ginger, mom and dad's dog!

Alexis' big day






Alexis, by far, is my nervous, frightened and cautious child! Needless to say, the past few days, her bottom tooth has been hanging by a thread and "no way are you pulling it out!" So, with much coaxing and talking up the tooth fairy pretty big... Alexis has lost her first tooth! YAY!

After Ethan's last soccer game, the coach took all the kids to the famous ice cream spot....J.J's!
Happy kids! :)

Ethan playing soccer...






This spring Ethan really wished to do soccer again! HE really enjoyed it...and boy could we tell a difference from the first few games vs. the last game! Here are a few pics from the season!

Tumbling program







Alexis has been in tumbling for the past several months! She absolutely loves it AND is very good at it! She really enjoys having something that is just for her and she can see how good she really is! Mrs. Harris is constantly telling her how talented she is! She does such a great job! We are so proud of her! Everyone was surprised when we found out about all the students receiving a trophy for their hard work! Needless to say, Alexis was thrilled....her first trophy! She has it placed on her nightstand so it's the last thing she looks at before bed and the first thing she sees after waking up! She is really proud of herself! YAY Alexis! :)
AND as of 5.24, she is now riding a 2-wheeler! Now she can get that big girl bike she wants instead of riding the 'old boy bike'!!!! :)
