School and Such

Both boys brought home excellent report cards yesterday. Jake has mastered everything but his address, which he knows for me but forgets it at school for some reason. Nothing to sweat over, he'll get it. His teacher says he's coming out of his shell, hope he doesn't come out too much-lol! We signed him up for his first year of pitching machine. He is a little nervous about it but I know he will do great. His daddy has taken him to Two Bit Bandit to practice on the machines and he did just fine. We are so happy that he got a great coach for his first year of pitching machine. He's on his buddy Cooper Aigner's team, I was so happy that Coach Jordan picked him! We will have a great summer at the ball park! Although it is baseball season, we cannot seem to get the basketball out of Jake's hands. That is all the little guy wants to play. He will play for two hours non-stop. He was so happy to be able to get his new scooter (that he got for Christmas ) out this week. He has played outside (both boys have) so much this week and has gone non-stop from the time his feet hit the floor in the morning! My little guy loves getting outside and dirty, he's definitely all boy!!! He is practicing for our Kid's Church Easter program. He loves going to church and I know the Word is getting into his heart. There is not a night that goes by that the boys don't remind us to do devotions.

Jordan brought home all A's and B's and made honor roll again! We are so proud of him and everything he has accomplished. He loves school and his teacher. I am so thankful that he has gotten great teachers every year! He struggles a little in English but we found him a tutor and he loves Mrs. Bruner too! She tutors him two days a week and he is doing so much better. He is a math and science guy and I am so proud of that! There are times when he has to be pushed but his confidence is blossoming more and more every day. He is on his second full week of Acceleration Training in Evansville. The trainers have him running on treadmills, running short distances, box jumping and tons of other things. He loves it and we are so proud of the effort he is putting into it. We were leery at first to sign him up because we thought it would be too much. We talked it over with him and he wanted to train, so we went for it. He is also playing baseball this spring/summer and got a great coach and is on the team with his friend Cody. We attended his first ever school play last night. He was apart of the theater gang and did a great job! He is also practicing for the Easter program at church. He loves going to church as well and I know God has something in store for him. He has a tender heart and loves God and is great with the little kids at church. The boys also love hanging out with their friends at church, they are a great group of kids!

We have exciting things planned for spring break and are currently planning our summer vacation. I am so thankful for everything the Lord has given me. Sports and grades are great but knowing that my kids have Jesus in their hearts, that will get them farther than anything this world has to offer them and I couldn't be more proud!
