Dance

CC had her 4th dance competition of the year last weekend.  They continue to go well, and this weekend she got large trophy for her tap solo.  (Now, she was the only one in her age group, but you did have to finish with a High Gold ranking to win a trophy...so technically she did earn it!)  She also received the judges award for "terrific tapping" which was against all the other tappers, so she was thrilled with that award!  Here she is with her trophy...notice the curlers in her hair as she is getting ready for her next dance of the day!

Her other three dances; her group jazz, group acro, and group tap finished the competition 1st, 2nd, and 4th.  They almost swept it!  It was a great day, all the girls did wonderful!

Basketball

Basketball season at the YMCA has finished for the year!  Yippee, one more thing crossed off the list!  (Although, Little League will be starting soon, so it really is just onto the next thing!)  Colby had a great basketball season and even made a few baskets, a couple of them were even a "Swish"!  At the Y, the kids had to pass the ball three times before they could shoot, so if you were lucky enough to be passed to on that third pass, you could take a shot.  Colby was a little frustrated that there was no stealing the ball away at this age, as it is one of his favorite things to do when we play ball together, but all that will come with time.

After his last game, we treated him to McDonalds, he was thrilled to get his ice-cream sundae, and Brayden and Daddy loved sharing their chocolate shake!  :)

Looking for Leprechauns...

Colby was so bummed yesterday after school because ALL of the kids in his class saw a Leprechaun yesterday at school, except him!  He was bound and determined to find on one after school.  He looked all around the yard, and put out chocolate gold coins to help entice the leprechaun out of his hiding place.  But, sadly for Colby, he did not see one.

Last night, while Colby was sleeping, a leprechaun came and took the gold coins, and must of spilled some of his magical leprechaun dust!  Colby was so excited to find a trail of gold and green magic dust in the yard.  He also found a tiny little hole, and thinks that must be where the leprechaun came from!

Kindergarten Registration :(

Sigh...I signed up Brayden for Kindergarten yesterday.  I have been trying to figure out how it is possible that nearly 5 years have flown by since he arrived in this world (a week late).  How is it that in what seems like a couple years at the most, this little guy has learned to crawl, walk, talk, eat, use the potty, change his own clothes, make his bed, brush his teeth, write his name, make his bed, shoot baskets, pump his legs on the swings, and nearly swim across the pool?  In a few short months, I will be putting him on the bus and my baby will be off to kindergarten.  Sigh, again.  I just can't believe it.

Brayden often puts his hands on my cheeks, turns my head so that he is looking straight into my eyes and says, "Mom, I will still give you hugs and kisses when I'm big"...I hope he does!
