Update

So things have been rockin and rollin around here. Which is why we haven't posted in a while. Here's a little update:

Me: I am doing great at school, I can recognize a few words, I know a lot about bears and frogs and I also know the different parts of a book (front cover, back cover and spine). I have soccer practice every Thursday and a game every Sat morning!

Eila: She is great, still likes school. She was the star of the week last week. She brought lamby (her stuffed animal) to school for show and tell, she brought cup cakes for the class and Mom and Dad got to eat lunch with her. I saw them in the cafeteria and I got to sit with them too. Unfortunately, 5 minutes after Mom got to school, Eila found out she had to go back to work and wasn't staying all day with her so she cried most of the time they were at school and it wasn't pretty when Mommy left. But it's all part of it. Eila has dance every Tuesday so that is another week night that we don't get home until it is time bathe and go to bed.

Caleb: He's a trooper, he follows us everywhere we go and doesn't make a fuss (unless he is hungry)! He slept all night most of this week (Eila is still waking up at night!) So you would think Mommy would be refreshed and full of energy right? Negative! I guess working/running around for 12 hours a day non-stop will wear one out... I guess..

Mommy and Daddy: Are just trying to keep up with us! So far they are ahead of the game!

Annual Exxon Picnic

After an wonderful morning of soccer (note the sarcasm) we went to Blue Bayou Water Park. We had such a great time! Caleb stayed home with Grammy.

Daddy went on the really, really big slide!

We rode our first Ferris Wheel! We both loved it! We also rode on a roller coaster (kind of) it was a boat made of logs that took us way up and then we zoomed down and splashed water everywhere... We loved that one so much we made them take us on it again!!

Soccer

Saturday was my first soccer game. We had two practices and there was not a goal at either one, so you can imagine the skill level. I found out that I'm not a real fan of being on a team or being pushed around by other kids while trying to kick a ball. I can play at home with dad and no one pushes me. So unfortunately I cried most of the game. I still played, I just cried while I did it. I am actually not that bad at it. I was not the only one on the team crying, three were crying b/c they didn't want to play and one was crying b/c he wanted to play more (there are only 6 players!) Anyway, Mom and Dad say I have to stick this one out, we only play for 8 weeks. I will update you if I make any progress.
