So, once again, I have been absent from the blogging world. It always seems to get put on the back burner and this past year of school was the busiest we have very been. I am sure its going to be the same this year. So I will touch on a few things that have gone on in our family since my last post......
Cooper making straight A's for the whole year-first grade
(not making straight A's in the behavior department)
John William making A/B honor roll for the year-fourth grade
(He did however make straight A's in the behavior department)
Luci had a great school year too-only she is dying to be able to read-she doesn't understand why at four she can't read like her brothers
Cooper's baseball team was runner up in their league and he loved every minute of it. Soccer was great for him and will be better this year-he has decided he wants to play on a tournament team and go to tournaments that have hotels with swimming pools like John William
John William's soccer team won a soccer tournament in Tupelo in March-in the FREEZING, COLD, MUD!!! It was unlike anything I have ever seen and I completely gave my heart to soccer at this tournament! So yes, My name is Laura Dow and I am a soccer mom!
On April 2 ( almost April's Fools) my grandmother celebrated her 98th birthday! Its amazing how well she is doing for 98!
Luci had her first dance recital and I think she stole the show! She loved,loved, loved dance and her teacher and I am pretty sure they love her too! We gave her a bouquet of flowers with a ballerina barbie in them and you would have thought she got a diamond!
John William decided after 3 years of not playing, that this year he wanted to play baseball. Well, after the first game when he stood in the outfield for a while and struck out a few times, he said "this is kinda boring..." To which I replied-"this is baseball, it's not soccer where you are all over the field-be patient" And patient he was! It was quite a humbling experience for him-he's never NOT been good at something. He worked at it all season and finally hit the ball-let me re-phrase that -He got a home run! It was amazing-bless his heart!
We barely made it through the month of May. We had the end of soccer, baseball and dance all at once. We literally had 2 places to be every afternoon for almost the whole month. It was exhausting!
We spent the fourth of July with our friends Lesli and Mark and their kids on the beach! It was a great trip!
Cooper and John William went to Warner Tully camp this summer for a week. When we dropped them off, Luci cried all the way home. She woke up the next day and said "Can we go get my brothers?". She pretty much asked me that everyday until they came home.
Jay decided to keep the boys this summer instead of getting a babysitter for them. He can pretty much load them up and take them ot with him when he's going to see a farmer or going to a Sanders' location. His mom and my mom have been pretty helpful when he's had an actual meeting. He did say the other day, that he was really looking forward to them all going back to school...hmm, wonder why that is?
I am looking forward to TRYING to blog more regularly. I love reading peoples blogs and seeing their pictures and trying the recipes. I am going to try to do better.....I think I can, I think I can!!!
