April Treasures

 I will play a song for you...

She is a cutiepie...

 But her twin is absolutely adorable!!!!!

 A perfectly pinkalicious party for a pretty friend!!!

 This is Lyndsey's favorite 2nd lunch after school.  She eats lunch at school, but she always wants to eat while we wait to pick up the girls from tennis on Wednesdays.  She loves Subway!!!

 This is what happens when you trip and land head first into a metal object :(

 Sleepy time in the car.  Mommy is a little jealous...

 Yes, Lyndsey really went to sleep like this!!!!

 I love to play with food!!!!

A 2nd grade Charlotte's Web party to celebrate the completion of a hard chapter book!

TPS Varsity Tennis

Tyler tried out for the Varsity Tennis team at the beginning of March.  It was a bold move for a 7th grader, but he had decided about a year ago that this was his goal.  He has been practicing and drilling to better himself all year.  Tryouts this year was his "MOMENT", and he sailed threw them with no problem!  He beat everyone who was trying out for the varsity team.  Unfortunately, the team had 6 returning players, so Tyler was the 7th seat on the team.  That meant that he did not see a lot of court time at the matches, but he was a good "go getter" for the team!!!  We as parents felt very fortunate for Tyler to be around such a great team of boys.  The older boys (10th-12th graders) were very nice to Tyler, and they always included the youngest in the after match dinners, etc.  That was big since he was the only one that did not drive or have a brother who drove on the team!!!!  The team nicknamed Tyler "Rhino".  I think it really fit his personality...tough, driven, comes at you with full force!!!!

He even made the paper a few times after assisting his team in a victory!

Princesses on Ice

Last year was the year of Daddy dates, and this year is the Mommy date year!  I took Lyndsey to see Disney's Princesses on Ice.  It was magical for my little 4 year old!!!

A Lake Jordan Weekend

JM just could not wait any longer...  Yes, the water was too cold for swimming!  The kids carefully climbed from boat to innertube.  Let the fun begin...

 

Colleen did not think this adventure was too much fun...

 

 Back at the dock for fishing...

 A little sunbathing????? Not sure who took this picture on my camera?!?!

 Ahhhhh....peace at last

Spring Sonshine Soccer

This year Lauren and Lyndsey decided to play Sonshine Soccer.  Lyndsey was so excited because "when I grow up I am going to be a profeshonal soccer player and kick the ball".  There were so many 4-5 year olds signed up that the league put out a desperate call for coaches.  John Mark took on the task! On his & Lyndsey's team there where two other girls, a bunch of Korean kids, and a few other boys.  It was quite a challenge to keep the team on the field much less working as a team and move the ball towards the goal.  Many nights JM wondered if the little boys spoke or understand English!!!

 Lyndsey had a great time after the first few weeks of practice.  She loved to play with her girl team mates, and together they did score ALL the goals for their poor little team!!

 Lauren really loved playing goalie this year.  I think being the parent of the goalie is just as bad as being the parent of the baseball pitcher....stressful!!  I don't have any pictures of her as goalie.  I guess I was just to focused and stressed!!!  She had a great season and scored a few goals for her team and blocked many more!!
