Noah hit the 50 mile club!

Every week at school the kids have mileage club. The kids get a card punched for every lap they run around the field at school. They add up the laps into miles and Noah hit the 50 mile club this last week. If you can make it to the 50 mile club you earn a t-shirt. He earned one last year as well and is very proud of his running. We're pretty proud too. I wish I could bottle his energy!! :)

JJ's 4th Birthday

Four years ago today we were blessed by Josiah James being born into our family!

JJ was excited to open his present from Grandma and Grandpa Burgess this morning. He's caught his first glimpse of the character on the gift and is VERY happy about it! Big grins!

Proudly showing his pillowcase off!!

Carissa ran and got his pillow. Once it was in he hugged it and said, "YEAH!". He then laid with it for the next hour while watching cartoons!

JJ is an ice cream lover. He doesn't do cake, brownies, pie, or even cookies that much. He just wanted ice cream with sprinkles. Okay by me. Makes it EASY for the Momma!! :) He's in a cheesy smiling mode. Evidently today is a NO teeth day. HA HA.

Spring time..... tulips and soccer

Noah has really enjoyed soccer this year. His skills and his confidence has really picked up and it's neat to see him excel with the other boys. Two games ago he scored the last 3 goals. Today he scored the first goal of the game! The Grizzlies (his team name) have won all their games except ONE, which was a TIE game!!! So, I think they're undefeated... :) But, I'm a partial momma. :)

My tulips came up this year. Here's a pic of one of them.

She's packin' heat!

Eric and I had date night yesterday. We decided to head to the hills and do a little target practice. I haven't shot a gun since 7th grade when I think I shot a little handgun twice at some friend's house (my brother was there so no freaking out Mom and Dad... lol). Anyway, I had no clue how I'd do. It was fun and I wasn't so bad. Check it out and see :)

Concentration at it's finest!

So, this was my target paper. This was at about 25 yards out. :)

Here I am with the 9mm. It took me by surprise the first time with the little kick it had. Eric laughed!! My first couple missed the target sheet but then I got the feel of it.

Here I am with my 9mm target sheet. FUN!!! :)
