Major Catch up

I have to confess I have been slacking big time and my blog has suffered. Believe me, life around here has been crazy, so I finally had a day to sit down and play catch up.

EASTER...

We were blessed with somewhat good weather. Thank goodness. We all gathered together at Grammy's for egg dying, cousin playing, and good eatin- isn't that what you do on Easter? We had tons of fun. All the grandkids gathered together to dye their eggs, and anything else they touched- it was mayhem.

For Easter I actually made the girls their skirts. It was "sew" easy!! Pardon the pun. I was so proud of myself for completing the project, and the girls LOVE the skirts so that made it all worthwhile. Every year the kids get a new church outfit for Easter so they can look their best for Church. Since we all get a new outfit, it's the perfect time to take family pictures. This time I took the pictures- I thought they turned out pretty well...

SOCCER---

Tommy has started another season with the VIPERS. This is such a good team, and a great coach. We really got lucky there. Tommy loves to play and is such a natural, it is a lot of fun to watch him. So far they have had a great season (W-3, L-2, Tie-1), and we still have a few games to go!

GYMNASTICS---

Savana is enrolled at the Community Rec Center in the gymnastics program. She has a really great teacher who is helping her develop her talents quite a bit. Savana loves to tumble and she is on her way to becoming really great. She has such a grace about her when she moves, it's actually quite beautiful.

SWIMMING LESSONS---

Since summer is fast approaching and we all love to swim, I thought it was about time that the little ones (Timothy and Siera) took lessons. I get kinda tired of worrying if they are wearing their floaties or not. Anyways, I couldn't figure out what to do with Tommy and Savana while the littles were in lessons so I just signed them all up and it was the best thing I could have done. They are loving every minute and are such naturals. There is no fear when it comes to the water and that's a good thing. Siera was quickly moved from beginner to intermediate and is advancing rapidly- I was told by her teacher that she is a natural diver- It was a beautiful thing. Timothy was a little shy at first but he just gets right in there and loves sticking his face in the water. Tommy and Savana are both in the advanced class- they are doing very well. My original plan was to work out a little while they swam, but it's too fun to sit and watch them all having fun. I guess that's the joys of being a mom- sit back and watch everybody else have fun right?
