Snow?

SNOW! Yes, we do have snow in Texas! Not much, but we did have some! The boys played out in it today before having to go to school. Jake was so excited he was trying to eat it as it was falling from the sky last night (first timer for snow). Austin has started ball practice - 3 days a week! Not sure yet what position he will play, but his coach asked him to bring his catching gear next practice. He has the dredded TAKS test tomorrow for reading. Which is the Texas standardized assessment that all students have to take. If you don't pass the TAKS, you don't move onto 6th grade so he is not so excited about it. On another note, we added another animal to our house, a pet rabbit. We had her for about 2 weeks but returned her to her previous owner since no one wanted to clean out her cage and I kept having to do all of it. Her name is Radar since she has big ears and likes to raise them up whenever she hears a noise. But, she was too much with all I have to do and not getting much help from Austin. He liked her, but didn't want to clean up after her and rabbits poop a lot and he didn't realize it was going to be a chore to clean out the cage! Plus, Jake kept looking at her like she was his next snack, so we decided to wait on the rabbit for a while. We are coming to Arkansas March 16 to stay a few days so hopefully we will get to see everyone!

About Me

Austin is my oldest son. He loves most sports with a ball (especially baseball and football), used to take taekwondo, used to play the piano (when forced to practice), now plays the trombone,and is a very good chess player. I could go on and on here, but needless to say, I'm pretty proud of all his accomplishments. If this is what he does now, I can't wait to see what his future holds! My younger son is Cameron. He's 4 going on 30. His life is full of admiring his older brother, trying to be just like him, but also pestering him just as Austin pesters him. Cameron loves to eat and never misses a meal. He is into trains, trucks, just about any vehicle that he can "drive" or push as fast as he can go, likes to watch Little Einsteins, Barney, Spiderman, Stuart Little, and has now joined the Harry Potter club. He is also trying to see how far he can push my buttons. I think that is a normal 4 year old thing, maybe???
