We were busy in May with soccer and baseball!
Drew is an all-star on the soccer field. He played on the Astros team and scored at least 5 goals each game! At the end of the season his coach got each player a trophy and took them to Dairy Queen to get anything they wanted! My son of course goes for the BIG banana split! I was standing there quietly trying to talk him into something else like maybe just a blizzard...then the coaches wife heard Drew ask for the banana split and said he could get anything. So, Drew and the coach both got one! He ate every bite and was very proud!
Alex has been playing baseball for the first time and likes it. Papa agreed to coach his team and that made it more fun and special for Alex. It helped me out too since the soccer and baseball schedules conflicted quite a bit. There team is called the Bulls. Alex has been playing 2nd base and outfield. He is doing good hitting the ball too!
Autumn is my little helper. She goes to the sporting events to help me cheer the boys on! She is a HUGE help with Levi. One day I wasn't feeling too good and I was laying on the couch. She wanted to change Levi's diaper for me...she did a great job from start to finish! She likes to help me feed him his cereal and food too! A little mommy's helper for sure!
Levi is almost 8 months old...I can't even believe it! He is such a joy to have around. He loves to smile and laugh! He is a good baby and I'm thankful for that! The only thing we still have to work on is Levi drinking from a bottle so he can be left with a babysitter sometime...mommy needs a little time away every once in a while...I'm only asking for a couple hours!!! The other day Levi was cranky and I felt his bottom gums and there was a tooth starting to poke out! He loves to sit and play with toys, cruise around in his walker, and he is starting to get up on all 4's...just a matter of days and he will be crawling and into everything!
We had a great week last week with Ryan here from Georgia! He got out of school in mid May so came up to spend a week with us. We kept him busy with baseball games, dropping off and picking up from school and everything else we throw into our weekly schedule! He was a huge help with Levi too and adored him!
The kids are out of school this Thursday the 17th and we are off to Tennessee the 26th... we can't wait for vacation! I have lots of ideas of fun things we can do this summer... hopefully we'll get it all accomplished and have some fun doing it. The kids are too quick to say they are bored so my plan is to have a bucket of chores they can pick from when they are "bored". Maybe they won't get bored as often and find things to do on their own!!!
