Gymnastics!

Well, we started back to gymnastics for Anniston. For about 6 months Anniston did a tap, ballet, and tumble class. The tap and ballet just weren't fast paced enough for her. She did very well in them, followed directions well, and learned alot. But for now, it's not her thing. That's ok with me.

Anniston told me she'd rather just do gymnastics. So we had her going for a few weeks, and then we decided to start Treyson. When I woke the kids up this morning, the first thing Treyson said to me was, "Bubby do nastics?" (yes, he does talk in the third person) He was so excited! Anniston is in the 9:30 class, and then Treyson goes right after her at 10:15.

Here are pics of Anniston from today. She's getting really good at her cartwheel. Now Ms. Katie is working with her on her landing. Her left bobo keeps hitting the floor before her feet!Doing her bridge:Then it was T's turn. (I was by myself so Anniston sat to the side and did sticker books and read her "Fancy Nancy" books) At first they do a circle time and do a little warm up song. Treyson just smiled and watched everybody. I had to move his arms for him. Then he got warmed up and began to participate. He was very good about standing in line, and waiting his turn. A couple of times he started to run off, but it was after another little girl who was WILD! This class should definitely be good lessons on listening to directions even when other's don't!! (and her poor Momma is due in 6 weeks and had to chase her so very big and pregnant!)

At the end, the kids get to jump into a ball pit, and of course my kiddos walk to the "back side" and climb up onto these really tall blocks and jump off (we're probably talking 6 feet high). The other kiddos looked at my two daredevils like they were crazy.....the mom's probably did think I was crazy letting my children do that, but they had fun (and they were falling into FOAM BLOCKS people!!)

Here's T right before class! (couldn't sneak the camera in today. I thought I should really work with him on learning the rotation and following directions today--maybe next time!)

Wooooo Pig Sooie!

My little stinker....

It's a big deal at our house to make "Happy Plates". You cannot ask to be excused until a "happy plate" is accomplished. . .

. . . so this was Treyson this morning. He was being a SLOW eater, and felt like he was missing out on the action, so he sped up the "happy plate" process!!

Have a great day! We're celebrating the kids' birthdays today with a family party. I'll have pictures to post tomorrow!!

Great Lake Weekend!

We headed to Lake Ouachita last weekend to enjoy one of the last few times of boating for the summer. There were hardly any boats out, and we felt like we pretty much had the lake to ourselves!

The kiddos got ALOT of tubing time in due to the very low traffic on the water. Uncle Todd took Anniston and Michael out first. That was the only time he took both. I think it wore his upper body out trying to keep up with 2 kiddos! Typical routine....climbing up the ladder, piggies to the edge, READY, SET, GO!

.....Just like sissy!

Too cool for words!

Mommy and Treyson took the "sitting up" approach to tubing. Treyson seemed to enjoy it more this way...alot less bounce!

Thank you MaMa and PaPa for another GREAT weekend on the lake!

Our babies!

My parent's wanted to get a picture of all of their grandkids this weekend while we were at the lake. I snapped this pic of our kids while we waited on our cousins to get their Razorback shirts on. Just putting the kiddos in Razorback gear gives me such a warm and fuzzy feeling about football being less than 2 weeks away!! WOOOOOO PIG SOOOIE!!!

Pudding Clapping

Pudding + Clapping.....2 things that don't mix. Treyson tried to mix them tonight while eating his dessert. Mommy was outside working in the yard, so Dadoo handled this one. Treyson got a triple time out (3 minutes---not recommended by Super Nanny, but Dadoo felt that this naughtiness was not a 1 minute-worthy time out)

After his time-out, Treyson got a wet rag and had to scrub the pudding off the floor and wall (well, as high as he could reach...Mommy and Dadoo scrubbed the pudding that got too high). You can even see the brown spots on his shirt!

He was very good about scrubbing though. When he was finished, Mommy took the rag and started to get the high spot. It was so nice to have Treyson point and show me all of the brown spots on the wall that I needed to scrub.....HA, HA!

Silly Treyson

Jerry took Treyson to the potty on Monday night, and walked off afterwards telling him to pull up his own underwear and shorts. I watched Treyson as he tried so hard to get them up. It was so precious to see how proud he was of himself. . . he just left a little too much still hanging out!!

I still don't think he knew why we were laughing so hard and taking pictures of his cute little bo-bo!!
