Dropping the ball

I used to be so fabulous at updating my blog all the time, but I have totally dropped the ball this month.  We have been so busy working on the house (we should be done in less than a month!), Connor has had baseball, we had a tournament in St. George last weekend and another one next weekend, Kadence has had Cheer and Gymnastics and Kinlee has had gymnastics.  Needless to say it's been crazy.

Connor has been playing baseball 3-4 times a week and had a tourney in St. George (or around St. George) last weekend.  We only won one game, but it was a good experience and the boys learned a lot.  Connor didn't really pitch much, but he played the outfield and made some great plays.  Last night he competed in his last Pinewood Derby and took 1st!!  He was so excited!  All he wanted was to beat his really good friend Gavin (who has won every year) so when he won he ran up to me and said, "Dreams really do come true!"  it was so great and a memory we won't soon forget.

Kadee has continued to do gymnastics 2 times a week and has delivered all her girl scout cookies.  She got to walk in the St. Patrick's day parade with her scout group then stayed at the Peace Gardens and sold cookies.  She has been begging me to let her do cheer so I put her in Helper Flare for the last six weeks.  She has caught on so quickly and comes home from school and practices all night long.  I'm super proud of her and so glad she has finally found her groove.

Kinlee has grown so much this last little bit.  I can't believe she only has about 6 weeks left of preschool.  Tomorrow they are going on a field trip to the dinosaur museum and Friday she has Kindergarten round up.  She still does gymnastics and loves it, she is a busy little bee and practices her head stand constantly, the other day I couldn't get around her in the hall because she was practicing and wouldn't let her legs down.  Last week Brittnee and I took Kinlee and Kaydree to the CHS Drill Team Princess Tea Party.  The girls loved it and were so excited to meet all the princesses (especially Belle).  While waiting for the fairy godmother they enjoyed cupcakes and danced to the Disney music playing in the background.  It is such a fun tradition, I will be sad when she is too old for it.  

Matthew is starting to talk so well!  I can tell speech and preschool are really helping him.  We also do ABC Mouse and I make him practice his words.  He is so excited about his baseball room, but I'm not sure how he feels about the new house.  Every time we go down there to work he says, "me go home now."
