Spring is Here

I don't know about anyone else, but it was sure nice to have some warm weather this past weekend. Sunday was such a nice day that we spent the whole day outside. It was great to be able to get some things picked up and cleaned up.

Alex had his first soccer game on Saturday. He has taken off the past couple years from soccer so that he could play spring hockey, so we weren't sure how it would go for him. But, he did great. He played goalie the first half and didn't let any goals in. The team was leading 5-0 at halftime. They ended up winning 9-0. Alex is really have a good time playing soccer this year. I think he missed it more than he thought he had.

This next weekend, Alex has tryouts for baseball. Hard to think about baseball when soccer has just started. At these tryouts, the coaches will get a feel of the level of the kids to be able to make even teams. The traveling team will also be made out of the list from tryouts. This is somthing new for us as the city Park and Rec used to run the baseball program. So, it will be fun to try something new this year.

Jordyn is gearing up for her dance recital the first weekend in May. We had dance pictures this past week. I had to ask Grandma Mary to come and do Jordyn's hair for us as I had no idea how to do a "bun" in her hair. Ask me to dress a kid for hockey and I can do it with my eyes closed. But, ask me to get a girl ready for dance and that is another story. I can't wait for her recital to see how she is going to react to being on the stage in front of so many people. Check back for pictures!

Hope everyone is doing well. It was good to see some of you at scrapbooking this past weekend. Kim, this update is for you :) he-he
