Gosh Im a slacker

Its my promise to stay on top of this thing. So dang hard, life is such a rush lately. School is keeping me on my toes. I really didn't think it would be this hard and this much work. BOY was I wrong!! I love it, dont get me wrong, and have no intentions of stopping before Im done. Its just hard. I give credit to all those school mamas out there.
Things for the girls have been great. Alexis is still keeping strong at gym. She has accomplished quite a bit in training the past month. She is now able to do a full pull over unassisted on the bars and swing herself back around and up (cant think of the name for this). She can do a diving front roll on the high beam unassistant and a roundoff dismount. She has also 100% mastered cartwheels and gets her 1 hand 95% of the time. She can do back walkovers off the wedge unassistant and flat on the floor with one arm support. This is huge for her, especially only being 4, and her coaches and I are so extremely proud of her. She just adores gym and likes to practice everyday. We got word that next near her hours up to 6hrs/week (either 2 3hr sessions or 3 2hr sessions) and they may up it as of the summer, depending on parents schedual. Luckily, they are very understanding about summer time off because we are going away a few times this summer.
School is still going good. We had a meeting with the teacher regarding her reading (she was becoming frustrated at home with her bag-a-books) and we all agreed it was a good idea to up her to a level 6 because if she does not find challenge, she gets very upset. Level 6 is the cut off for senior kindergardens entering grade 1, so she is officially reading at an entery grade 1 level. We will see where the rest of the year brings us in that aspect. Everything else is school is dandy, she adores math (crazy kid)and science, and thinks that she needs to be doing work during snack. Her teacher laughs because she is suprised at the strong cliques that have already formed at such an early stage. These kids grow up too fast but luckily, she is close with a very good group of little girls (and 1 boy...gotta have that token boy!)
Speaking of summer, we are headed to Ocean City in July for a week, which I am totally looking forward to. We are also possibly heading back to either PA for idlewild early summer, or a trip to NYC. I love summer, we have so much planned and it can not possibly come soon enough.
On to baby Brooke. So not a baby any more. That child suprises me each and everyday. She is her sister mentally through and through. Her speech is doing wonderfully and she is nothing but a compelete clown. Always wants to make you laugh and will come out with some very random things in order to acheive that. She loves to color lately, especially on things she is not supposed to. Oh geesh! Keeps us on our toes that is forsure. This summer her and Alexis will be in swim lessons and as of September, off to gymnastics she goes. She is already egging to go, so I am sure she is going to be utterly in love with it just like her big sister. Now for the fun part, some pics!









Enjoy :)
