Flying through February

WOW!!! I can't believe March is already here. February was full of so much fun that it went by with a blink of my eyes. I don't want to leave you all hanging so here is a quick update of all of the happenings of the 2nd month of 2011.

We started the month celebrating my 28th birthday. To celebrate we had a family dinner complete with cake and ice cream. Sorry, I don't have any pictures to document the occasion. It was fun though.

Right around the same time that I turned a year older I started a Zumba class. Oh my is it fun. It is so far out of my comfort zone, but I really do enjoy it. This is something that I suggest everyone try. No need to worry that you will look funny while you shake your groove thing... everyone, excluding the instructor, looks goofy. Nothing can stop the fun though. So, if you have the opportunity, GO FOR IT!!!!

In the middle of February Colin left the state to attend NAPE in Houston. It was a great experience. There is nothing better than making contacts and learning more about what is out there.

When Colin returned home he celebrated a big milestone. HE TURNED 30!!!! It is difficult to believe that he is already 30. We had such a great time. Our families came here and we had a wonderful taco lunch. Our friends celebrated with us too. It was a great celebration.

The boys had a pretty layed back February. Jason had a spectacular month in school. He learns so much every day. This last month he has even started to sound out words. Reading is just around the corner for him. Jake is doing great too. He is working so hard at this potty training thing. It won't be long and it won't be a second thought. He has his eye on the prize (preschool in the fall).

March really did take us by surprise. We just didn't see it coming. With all of my babysitting and the kids' crazy schedules we just overlooked it's approach. Just because it has taken us by surprise it doesn't mean that it hasn't been wonderful. Jason even started Smart Start Basketball. He goes once a week with his dad and works on basic basketball skills. It is an amazing experience for him and Colin. When they are at basketball, Jacob and I get some quality fun time in. Sometimes that is just an hour of playing catch with Elmo.... Always a good time.

This month has been full of more Zumba, babysitting, lots of school for Jason, work for Colin, playdates for Jacob, and that is just the tip of the iceberg. It has really hit us that the boys are growing up fast. We will sign Jason up for Kindergarten this month and Jake will be signed up for Preschool at the beginning of next month. Our wild men never cease to amaze us. They are such great people and we couldn't be more proud.

I hope this transition into spring it treating all of you well. Take care of yourselves and enjoy this beautiful weather.
ENJOY!!!
