Jake and Brenden started soccer this week. Brenden is on the same team from the fall and Jake is with the same coach, but only one other kid from his fall team is on the spring team. The boys did really well with their coaches and teams last fall so hopefully this spring they will be able to pick right up and keep learning and progressing.
It has been spring break and Jake has a bet with Chris to finish the first Harry Potter book by the end of break. Jake has been great about reading it everyday and seems to enjoying it and the bet is only an added bonus to keep him going. I'm just so impressed that I have an 8 year old son that likes reading and can read a 300 page book on his own. He's definitely his father's son when it comes to this one.
Brenden can read! I have been so impressed with his improvement. I'm able to grab just about any of our kids books and he can read it. He's doing a great job of sounding out new words and asking for help so he doesn't get frustrated. He's also asking me all the time what a word is if he sees it on a food box, TV, etc. It's so nice to see him doing so well and enjoying it!
Rylan......Rylan, Rylan, Rylan. She's 2 and VERY good at it! Like the rest of us, she is very stubborn and head strong and must do EVERYTHING herself. I just keep telling myself that its who she is and she's not doing it to torture me, but there are days/times where it is hard to believe. In all seriousness, she is pretty awesome. She's learned her ABC's, she can count to 10, and when she's had enough of this crazy family she runs away to the neighbors :)
And some pictures to show you just how awesome all 4 of my kids are!
