The new addition...

Betcha thought I was talking about babies, huh? ummmmm...no, the Hollingsworth's will not be reproducing again anytime soon.

However we have made a new addition to our family in the last month. We bought a camper! Super excited about this, because, as you may know, I'm not an outdoorsy kind of gal. People often have the misconception that, since I grew up in the country, I like to go traipsing through the woods on nature hikes and so forth. Quite the contrary, my friends. I like sitting in a lawn chair with a cold drink in my hand, and that's about as outdoorsy as we get folks. I'm a fan of modern conveniences and air conditioning, so camping with a camper is as "one with nature" as I get. We're very excited about taking our boys to the lake this summer and getting out and doing more without having to book a hotel room to do so. :)

Landry's birthday was Saturday, and Jase's is in less than two weeks, so we've got the big birthday party extravaganza coming up this Friday. We're doing it on a bit smaller scale than last year, which was a zoo! (A fun zoo, but a zoo, nonetheless). After inviting the entire first grade, every friend and family member we could think of, and Jase's t-ball team, our house and yard were trashed to say the least, and Josh and I just couldn't get pumped for that again. However, we could get pumped for a party at the Jump-N-Place, where they set everything up, take everything down, and provide EVERYTHING except for the cake. Sounds good to me!

Soccer season has just about wrapped up for Jase, he's got two games left, and has really progressed this spring! He switched leagues and is now playing HOT and has an awesome coach who is teaching him a lot more about the game and how to play a position instead of just chasing the ball around the field. It's been really fun to watch him grow as a player.

Landry is now in mockingbird mode and will repeat ANYTHING that you say, so you've gotta watch that guy. I still think that he was genetically engineered for espionage...he gets in spy mode sometimes and pretends to be talking on his phone in his baby jabber, he also talks in his sleep, which totally cracks us up. Overall, the kids are crazy and life is fabulous. :)
