Scorpians T-ball

Our spring sports have just wrapped up.  We finished our last t-ball game this weekend.  Here are a few pictures from the season.

 I love that Micah got so mad at the ball he grit his teeth.

Primrose

An update on the boys' school:

 

 

We're getting ready to wrap up another year at Primrose with a Pre-K graduation.  Micah is getting really excited.  He will be starting Kindergarten in the fall, but he will continue at Primrose.  Tom and I made the decision to let him continue at Primrose for one year of Kindergarten, and we will most likely let him repeat Kindergarten again in public school the following year.

 

In Texas the birth date cut-off is September 1st.  That's just six days after his birthday.  Tom and I decided that, while he is not behind in academics, we still would like to hold him back a year.  We think he will benefit in the long run with the extra year and hopefully a little extra maturity.  Tom really wants him to be able to play sports too. 

 

Silas is doing well in school too.  In April we received this note from his teacher.  'Atta boy, Silas!

 

Here's their spring class photos.  I love these because you never know what all those kids are going to do for the camera at the same time. 

 Most days Micah's girlfriends (yes, girlfriends) are Sydney (middle row, far left) and Diem (middle row, far right).

Family Portraits

I finally got someone other than JCPenny to take some family portraits. 

When I heard about Fairy Tale Photography's mini sessions, I signed us up.

Laura is spectacular! I'd definitely recommend her.

(If you want to play a fun little game while you look through these, try to find the tiny yellow flower that one of the boys has in almost every photo.)

Also, Tom and I decided to embrace being Texans.  We each bought our first pair of boots!

The whole month of April slipped by me.  I'll be back with a report on all of the April happenings soon.  Maybe even tomorrow.

Happy Easter

TOT

Micah participates in several extra cirricular activities at school --TOTs, or Teams of Tomorrow, being one of them.

It's a basketball based program that teaches many things like rhythm, coordination, and follow-the-leader revolving around severals units of colors, counting, seasons, and more.

Last Thursday we spent the evening at the Legends basketball game where Micah and many of his classmates (and kids from two other schools) performed at half time.

 

 

 

 

These two dudes had fun in the stands watching Brother perform.

There were so many kids there.  We now know where to take Micah for a fun night out.  It was like a 3-ring circus in that place.  Check it out.
