Happy Birthday Lauren!

Today is Lauren's 5th Birthday.  It makes my heart ache to accept that she is growing up!  She was so excited to take a cookie cake to her school friends today.  We will have her party with the Big Green Bus on Friday afternoon if I can get everything together.  

Monday Night Life

Just so you know what we do on a typical Monday night!  Piano lessons after school.  Lauren plays soccer, and then Corynne has her game.  (The camera did not make it to Lauren's game.  I just forgot it when I was loading the car.)  Then it is quickly run over to AUM for Tyler's baseball game!  Did I fail to mention that these events overlap.  Dad swung by after work to take Tyler over to the ballpark (and drop off the camera)!  Guess what--we do this on Thursday also!  It is busy, but it is fun.  It is our life, and we love it.  I keep my sanity by remembering how fast they have already grown up and how soon they will move on.  Time flies, so have fun watching those games until way past bedtime! 

TaeKwonDo Tourny in Mobile

       

Tyler, Corynne and Lauren competed in a TaeKwonDo Tournament in Mobile this weekend.   Tyler was awarded Silver in Blue Sr. Sparing.  Corynne received Honorable Mention.  Lauren got a gold metal for a Cubs Brown Belt.  Oh, what fun it is to medal!

Piano Guild

Tyler and Corynne performed for the Piano Guild judge this afternoon.  They did a good job.  They have worked so hard to learn all 10 pieces, scales and chords!  Tyler played at the Alabama Music Teachers competition a few weekends ago.  He scored an E for performance and an O (the best rating) for theory!  Great job for a kid with 104 fever that morning!  We were proud of him for giving it his best on a terrible weekend for him!

4th Grade visits State Capitol

 

I am not sure who was more excited about this field trip.  Actually, I know I was more excited.  I dragged my sick son to school on Monday, so I could go on the field trip.  Then I brought him home and put him to bed!

Corynne and Lauren strut their stuff!

        

The girls danced at the Montgomery Zoo today.  They sure do have fun performing!

John Mark Celebrates Big 35!

John Mark bought a Kayak for 2. Sounds romantic, but I am sure that it will be JM with a kid out on the lake more often than JM and me!!! And that is okay with me!
