Since gymnastics, Nick celebrated his 8th birthday! The 8th birthday in our home is a very special event. 8 means you are ready to be baptized into The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints. Nick interviewed with our good Bishop (now President) and took the steps necessary to be baptized on May 2, 2009. Grandma and Grandpa Thomas came over from Mesa to enjoy the weekend with us.
He now joins "the ranks" of white shirt and tie each Sunday for the REST OF HIS LIFE! Good thing they all look so good in their shirts and ties!
Zachary finished his Basketball Season in February! This was the first time anyone in our family tried basketball! We love basketball - why? I love the fact that it's indoors and can not be rained out. The temperature is always constant! Zachary enjoyed himself and plans to give up baseball for basketball next season. Wait and see on that one. He is currently doing baseball and enjoys playing shortstop and any infield position. He is quick to know what to do when handling the ball.
Benjamin's soccer team (he's been on the same team now for over a year), the Chargers, ended the Spring Season placing 4th overall. He has really gotten to know all the other boys. None of them are in our Elementary School which makes it kinda' hard. We are hoping that he will meet up with some of them in Middle School next year or even High School in a few years. (It's always good to have friends around.)
Emma - Emma is participating in a weekly gymnastics class. Twice a year they have a competition and she did marvelous!
She is also doing preschool twice a week. Her class grew green beans and her teacher did a GREAT job of having them plant the seeds in a large, deep cup. (The boys have done this in the little Dixie cups and we always end up throwing them out because we never have the time or place to replant it.) The three plants grew and each plant had about 3 to 4 beans. She picked them and ate them for lunch! It was a GREAT experience.
Otherwise, she and I are getting excited for the Father & Sons Campout this weekend! Two days, one night of just Mom & Daughter. She wants to go to Double Dip - the icecream shop! Sold!
And Chris - well, Christopher is doing coach-pitch baseball right now. It is his 2nd year. This is where the coach pitches three balls to you. If you do not hit it, they get the tee out (from our t-ball days). Christopher hits it from the coach which is so exciting!
He is not as serious with baseball (as the coach would like to see) but continues to have a smile a mile-wide as he tries to be "baseball ready" just in case the coach is watching.
He does enjoy baseball for he's on a team (the start of his 2nd year) with boys from our neighborhood and school. He enjoys soccer more - more action-packed... so we'll see.

WOw! You guys are busy!! I wish I could say my boys are involved with sports (or anything, really), but unfortunately they are not. Maybe someday when my husband is done with school. :D
Hi cindy! Glad to see your updates. Boys are sure getting big and handsome!
