Run, Seth, run!!!!!!

Seth ran REALLY fast when he ran the bases during practice.  Joshua and I were so proud of him for being such a good listener during practice.

Joshua (and Luke) are helping at practice.  They are standing by first base so the kids can find it.

This is the Ready Freddy position.  He learned it in his Sports Skills class at The Little Gym.

Seth is dressed for his very first T-Ball practice.  He was very excited.  We told him that there would probably be a lot of talking at this first practice and not as much playing baseball.  He later said, "Mom, you were right.  (gotta love to hear those words)  There was a lot of talking."

This was Brooke's last day of art class.  She got to take art with Ms. Deborah during this school year.  There were five girls in the class.  Ms. Deborah is a talented artist and very good teacher.  Brooke learned a lot and had a really fun time.

Brooke loves to cook!  She is making banana bread.  We took it to Ms. Grace's house to eat lunch with her.  It was a great reading and math lesson for school.  Joshua and I are really proud of her.  She can make it with very little help.

               Celebrating Easter where Kendall is pastoring at Midway Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas.

Luke on Easter Sunday.  He is 2 years and 1 month old.  He talks a lot, we're just not sure about what he's saying.  We are amazed at how much he understands.

                                                      Luke and Aunt Jill on Easter Sunday.

Seth is drawing Mat Man for the first time.  He is learning to write using the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum.  I hope it's true to it's name. 

                                        Luke liked the bunnies that were at the Easter Egg Hunt.

                                              The Easter Egg Hunt at Southwestern Seminary. 

Two boys in camo eating a snack.  Seth has asked several times lately if he and Luke could match. 
                                             I think that's one really sweet big brother.

                                                   This is a lap full!  What blessings!

                     Luke went to get Brooke out of bed.  She was reading a story to him.  Most of the time we find Brooke reading.  She really, really likes to read!  Joshua and I are praying God uses her love for reading to do great things for His Kingdom.

                                        Josh and the boys.  They were wrestling and doing karate. 

Happy Birthday Seth!

We sent Seth on a hunt for all of his presents.  We gave him a piece of paper with a picture and the name of the place where the present was and he went and found them.  He was having a fun time!  He had a present in the dryer, the car, under our bed, in Brooke's armoire, in the bathtub and on the porch.

Opening a birthday present while talking to Grandma Earnie and PaPa John.  He got a new Bible cover.  He was VERY proud when he carried it to church today.

Driving to Chuck E. Cheese's to celebrate Seth's birthday.  We printed out a Tooth Fairy Award from the Chuck E. Cheese website so Brooke was able to get 10 free tokens for losing a tooth.

Seth's birthday morning started with Strawberry Pop-Tarts for breakfast that he got to pick out at Wal-Mart and then learning to read.  He's doing really well.  He sometimes gets frustrated because he wants to be done with the process and just know how to read.  Oh, how much we are all like that!  Let's be done with the process.  :)

Celebrating Seth's 5th birthday at Candleridge Park.  He wanted to celebrate his birthday with friends and go to Chuck E. Cheese's so on Friday we went to the park and had cupcakes with friends.

Last Fall Seth said he didn't have any friends.  He's made five new friends since then.

It was really windy so I lit one candle at a time and he blew it out and then we would do another one.

Opening presents.

He chose Star Wars cupcakes.  He's licking the icing off of the Star Wars ring that was on his cupcake.

Luke had a fun time playing.

Brooke wasn't sure what she was going to do since there were going to be all of those boys.

Seth in action!
