The end of April

I am obviously doing some major catch-up!  So this is how we ended April!

Sam LOVES LOVES LOVES to jump!  He has taught himself many tricks and if you can't find him he is usually out on the tramp!

 He also loves Soccer and he is getting better every game!

 He made the final goal in his last game and he was very happy about that!

 Piano recital time!

 Notice Rylee...their cousin...she can always make us smile!

 My boys have the most amazing teacher!  She makes them really love to play!

 Sam is learning to love to read.  He likes to read to me and his stuffed animals!

 Sam in 2nd grade...my baby is growing up!

 Ben in 4th...I wish they would slow down!

 Sam made a carnival game for Ben to play.  Ben never did win because they were playing by Sam's "rules".  He didn't get many customers after that.   :)

 Ben and Kaylee working on a craft.  When he has to do something artsy we call Kaylee, she is the best at it!

 Out Lego man!

 Pinewood Derby.  This year we let Ben do everything...design, paint, weights, everything!  The poor car was very wobbly coming down the track but he was very proud of it.  He won the most creative and I think it was!

 In August my mom told Ben that if he could save $550 dollars, she would take him to Disney World when they went down for my dad's convention.  None of us thought it would happen, the kid loves to spend money, but to our surprise he did it!  He worked very hard and saved every penny!  We are very proud of him and he couldn't wait for the trip! (on a side note, Sam was given the same option but he didn't want to leave me for a week)

Ben's class went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point.  He said it was pretty cool!
