Sports

In January Caleb had his very first tennis lesson.  I remember they all lined up to hit the tennis ball and when the coach bounced the ball to Caleb he wound up to crush it.  He wound up so hard that the coach ducked in fear and after said "Caleb not so hard, just a nice soft swing".  I knew that would happen because Caleb does everything full force.  He had 7 lessons and did very well.  Below is a picture of Caleb (the cool guy in the black shirt and shorts) perfecting his game.

Caleb thoroughly enjoyed his first basketball camp and was one of the most enthusiastic kids in the class.  He was eager to answer any questions the coach asked...no surprise there.  The coach asked "When you're not on offense, you're on..." and Caleb yelled "DEFENSE".  I think it's safe to say Dave has passed on his love for basketball to little Mr. Caleb.  Below is a picture of him before leaving for camp.

Zoe wanted to be included in on the photo shoot so she grabbed a volleyball.  Good choice girl.

Ok back to Caleb going to camp.  Below the coach is showing Caleb how to hold the basketball when shooting.

And then this is the stance when on defense.  At this point Caleb is now pretty much at the head of the class by the coach instead of by the kids.  Haha!  Natural born leader???

Caleb's first soccer game was cancelled yesterday because it's so cold and tomorrow's game is cancelled as well.  Come on MN, it's time to warm up!!!  It's snowing outside as I write this and it's April 8th.  So his first game will be next Saturday and it's indoors.  They still had their pictures taken yesterday and Caleb is on the Yellow Bison team.  Oliver in our neighborhood is on his team along with Avery who he goes to pre-school with.

Our Little Readers

Two more videos and both of these are two of my all time favorites.  First Zoe "reading" a bedtime story to me and the other Caleb actually learning to read.  He's not even in Kindergarten yet and he just amazes me with his intelligence.  I absolutely love how much they love books.  We have read to them almost every night since they were born so it's no surprise they love books.  Enjoy these videos.

All kinds of adorable

Whenever we go into check on the kids, we never know what to expect.  Sometimes they are asleep in their beds but many times they are on the floor.  Not sure why that's such a desire, the floor is so incredibly hard.  One night we came into Zoe sleeping in the corner of her room like this.

Other times we come into her room and she's teaching her stuffed animals Spanish.

But my absolute favorite is when she's singing to her dolls.  If this video doesn't warm your heart, I don't know what will.  I just love this little honey so much.

Snow, snow, so much snow!

We've had a lot of snow this winter, which is pretty fun and about a month ago we had the most magical snowfall.  We've made snowmen, snow angels, gone tubing but I think it's safe to say that we are now officially ready for Spring and Summer!  Caleb keeps asking when it's going to get warm out and the other day he said "Mom wouldn't it be cool if it was summer all year long"?  Yeah I start to think that same exact thing come late Feb/early Mar.  Anyway, here is a look back on some of the snow fun we had this winter.  Oh and as I type this on April 2nd we are expected to get 6-8 inches of snow tonight.  Oiyy!

Check out these two videos too.  Nothing like a little t-ball in the middle of winter.
