Bikes, Kid Entertainment, and More...

I always say it's busy around here, but I really mean it! :) T-ball and coach-pitch practice (Keith is head coach for both), soccer, birthday parties, end-of-the-year activities...PHEW! However, we love (nearly) every second of it and it IS fun to be so involved in our kids' lives.

Keith discovered some new entertainment last night after supper. (As Keith was doing this, he said, "it took me 4 kids to figure out this game?!?!):

As soon as the camera came out, Caleb of course needed to get into the action. (AND, it might be hard to catch, but as soon as Caleb started doing it, Mariah is making noise in the background! It's hard to tell who is the biggest ham for the camera sometimes):

While on the subject of Caleb, here is a picture of him on his bike (or as he calls it, his "tricycle." I took the pic with my cell phone, never mind that he's not smiling...he really does love his bike, I'm not making this up! :)

WARNING! BRAGGING ALERT! (yeah, like the first part of this post wasn't laced with bragging, right?!!??!?!)

Meghan learned how to ride her bike without the training wheels last weekend. She is SO proud of herself...now she considers herself a "big girl." It is fun to see her ride around the block, smiling the whole way. Hopefully I will get a picture of this soon.

Jared has really made us proud (again). He brought home his report card for the end of the year, and it includes straight A's for the 4th quarter. This is a huge accomplishment because this includes A's in Art and Music, which are two classes that he was not doing as well in at the beginning of the year. We are really fortunate that Jared has a lot of academic ability and works very hard in school. (Don't misinterpret me, though...the effort is more important than the grade. I don't want to come across as one of "those moms" where grades are the only thing. Effort and respect are the most important things we look for.)

I will be done working in another 1 1/2 weeks, and then the blog should start picking up more speed. I am looking forward to summer, as crazy as it will be. :)

HAVE A GREAT DAY! Thanks for stopping by our blog!
