What a weekend

I hope everyone else had as nice and relaxing a weekend as we did. We really got a lot accomplished! Jase's last day of 1st Grade was Friday. Bittersweet for us because, although he had a great year and learned sooooo much, our baby is growing up so fast! It seems like just yesterday that he was chasing us around our apartment in Stephenville as a toddler...now it's payback time, because Landry chases him around like he chased us!

Speaking of Landry, he put together his first sentence on Saturday morning and it was soooooooo....well....Landry...haha. I put him in his playpen and, of course, as soon as his feet hit the bottom of the playpen he acted as if they were on fire. He also proceeded to give me the "sad eyes" and the most pitiful cry ever. So, of course, like any good momma, I picked him up and said, "Look at the sad baby." I fussed over him for a while and he dried it up as quickly as he started it, just as we were walking into the bedroom where Josh was laying on the bed. I started laughing and told him "You're not sad baby, you're fakey sad baby." He looked at me with the most pitiful face and said "Yes sad baby!" Josh and I just cracked up. Crazy kid!

Saturday was the Jeremy and Bridgette Memorial Softball Tournament, and it looked to be a big success. Josh spent all day at the TSTC softball fields serving up hamburgers, hot dogs, and barbecue. Jase got hit in the face with a (plastic) bat early on and after seeing blood come out of his nose he decided that he was done for the day, so I came and picked him up and took him to Granny and Paw's. (Not seeing a future in the medical field for that one. ;) ). However, I was super proud of him on Sunday when he got over his fear of the "deep" water. (4 foot is deep when you're only 4 foot 1!) Landry was much less worried about the depth than he was about the COLD...but he LOVED every minute of being in the pool. He floated in his little baby ring like a champ! He's gonna be our little tadpole. I'm actually kind of glad that Jase is so cautious, because it seems that his little brother is going to need a voice of reason because he is fearless and crazy!

Today, in the Memorial Day spirit, I have conquered the battle of the laundry and am ready to tackle my last week at W.I.S.D. Josh only has a few more days to go at La Vega as well and then we're out for the summer! We're hoping that Summer 2010 holds lots of fun, memorable times in store for our family...can't wait to sit back and enjoy the ride. :) :)
