Whew!!

I figured it out. Yep, all I had to do was remove the old background. Ok so it's been awhile. Life has been, well.....it's been. That's all I'm going to say about it. Carter and Trent were busy with basketball, which ended a couple weeks ago. Now baseball has started. Carter has practice every Sunday evening for his All-Star team and just had try-outs for regular season b-ball. I anticipate practices for both Carter and Evan starting sometime in the next few weeks. Until then, we take full advantage of our nights at home. I looked at the calendar for the summer and between June 1st and the Sept. 1st, we have NO Saturday's free....it's either a baseball tournament, vacation or me working! Wow. Should be quite the summer.

So what else is new...

* Aleah has started potty training. On days she cares, she does great, otherwise....I'm going to hit up the store soon to buy little incentives for her. The skittles just aren't working anymore.

* Evan has become a fabulous reader. Right now he is reading at a 3rd grade level! It's been a blast to watch his reading abilities flourish this year.

* Carter made the honor roll at school both 1st and 2nd quarters this year. We're in the middle of 3rd quarter, so we'll see if he can make it 3/3!

* Aleah is our little princess. (in every sense of the word!) She is ALL girl....loves to have her nails painted, wear dresses - especially princess dresses, loves singing and dancing, plays with her babies, etc...We're considering putting her in a dance class this summer. It's fitting that the name of the class is "the Dazzling Princess Class" ! Talk about a new world for us....all we've ever known is baseball, basketball, cars, etc...

* Like I said above, Carter and Evan will be starting baseball soon. They are both excited and hoping that our neighbor is their coach. That would be wonderful! Our neighbor Chris, was the one who agreed to be Trent's assistant coach for basketball, so we're anticipating that Trent will once again find himself in the world of coaching!
