Boy Update

Three of my four favorite kids have recently had birthdays and I want to document their last year.  First off, EVAN.

Evan came along way this year.  He was on honor roll 2 of the 3 trimesters at school and started a program for reading and in just a few months his reading level went up by one whole year!  He played soccer last fall and found he is really good at goalie.  He was also in a 4th-5th grade show choir where they preformed "Lion King."  He and 3 other boys sand a song "He Lives in Me" and did sooo good.  He is changing from little boy, to a little guy.  It is fun, I can have real conversations with him, and he is becoming quick witted like his dad. His favorite thing he did this was was going to Disneyland. Here is a run down of his other favorites:

Song-Big Time

When he grows up, he wants to be an inventor or an army man


PAXTON

Paxton is my kid that is most homesick for Boise now.  He constantly tells me that we need to move back because he misses all or our family there :(  He does really good in school and absolutely LOVES it!  He had a wonderful teacher this year and is reading pretty good. He played soccer last fall and really liked it, and in Nov. 2010 he lost his first tooth.  He still loves anything outdoors-riding bikes, swimming, jumping on the tramp, basketball....

COOPER

Cooper has calmed down a little, but is still our craziest.  He would sit and read books with you all day, he talks a lot, loves to sing, and best of all he still takes a 3 HOUR nap! (Oh loveliness for mom!) He would rather be outside than do anything inside and more than anything he loves to play with his sister, they are so cute together and have such a sweet closeness.  He is now saying everyone's names right, but up until just a month before his birthday he called Rilynn "Yah Yah," Paxton "Paxy," Evan "Da da" (Jeff was Daddy), and called himself "Booper."
