So here is a recap of February
- Our Friend Shelby Celebrated her 6th Birthday. Lauren got to go to Chuck E Cheese for that
- Scarlett came to visit, while Grandma and Grandpa went to the Daytona 500, I have a feeling the boys will be taking a trip together there next year.
- Being homeroom Mom, I had to plan the Valentine's Party for Lauren's class. Since, this was a busy week at work, it was a very low key party. We did make all of our Valentines, but they weren't as creative as in years past.
- Our Valentines, I had to work, and both Brad and I bought new jackets. I found a great purple Columbia at Kohls. And Brad needed a nice wool coat. It hasn't been super cold or snowy, and I haven't even used my coat yet.
- Lauren's teacher has started to let Lauren stay at school all day, one day a week. So, I have been working on those days all day. And when she gets home, as soon as she hits the couch, she's fast asleep. Going to school all day wears her out.... But she has begun to break out of her shyness mode. She has even started to say "Hi" to kids in the school parking lot as we walk up to school. One day, she let go of my hand, and walked with a friend up to class!!
- Brad, Austin, and Lauren had a weekend trip up to Winter Park. They had a lot of fun, skiing, and sledding, and playing with Gary.... Dave and Em got a new goat, named Gary. Lauren loves Gary. Grandma and Grandpa also went up for the weekend. Colton and I would of loved to of joined them.... But we had baseball tryouts.
- So this same weekend, I had to work, so my Dad came up to help watch Colton, and take him to baseball tryouts. There were 4 tryout sessions, 2 Saturday, and 2 Sunday. The first one got cancelled, due to the field being wet. (Once baseball season starts, you can be assured that winter is finally making an appearance.) So Colton went to one tryout on Saturday, and this was to make the Majors. So his competion is 10-13 year olds . Now, as many of you know, Colton won't be 10, until April 20th, so he is one of the younger kids. I didn't know how all of these tryouts worked. But on Sunday, we went to the last afternoon tryout. And he wasn't looking good. After a few times to the bathroom, he yaked on the field in front of everyone, and didn't finish tryouts. So, we kinda knew he wouldn't make the Majors this year.
- Well, Colton had another assesment for his AAA baseball team. We tried to get him on a team with some other kids that he knew, but this baseball league is kinda political. And even at tryouts, I saw all the guys / coaches on the field working out who wants what kids. I just hope he has a good year.
- Austin was asked to play a small part in the Spring Play at school. It was for an old movie, called, Sorry Wrong Number. So we are looking forward to it, and glad that Austin was asked to help out his teacher.
- Brad had a trip to Florida, can you imagine why???? He had a lot of fun hanging out with his grandparents. And got in a few rounds of golf in the mean time. He really was hoping to catch a shuttle launch, but it didn't happen while he was there.....
- So have any of you ever heard of TWITTER??? Well, Brad is receiving tweets, from NASA. It really is funny. He will get updates, for every little thing that has to do with any Space Missions. He thought it was a good idea, incase there was a launch while he was in FL. But now, he has to turn off his phone at night, so he doesn't keep getting tweets.
