Happy Mother's Day

We had a good Mother's Day here. We went out to eat on Sat night since it wouldn't be as crowded and we don't get home from church until almost 1 on Sundays. So this morning, Robert made French toast and Gabby (with Daddy's help) fixed up a treasure hunt for my present. She did a great job writing up the clues and it was fun!

Gabby also got her first line in church today. She did part of a poem about moms and then the whole children's church sang "Every Move I Make". She got right up to the lectern and said her lines wonderfully in the microphone without being scared. She was so small, you couldn't see her over the lectern but that was ok.

Parent/Teacher Conference

So I went to my first Parent/Teacher Conference on Friday for Gabby. I expected most of what she had to say. Gabby's pretty good and doing well writing and learning words. She is able to sit and listen when asked to, which I was a little curious over - LOL! Her teacher did mention that she talks about God a lot. That was great coming from a teacher not at a Christian school!

T-ball

Here's Gabby hitting the ball and running the bases at T-ball last week. She was the last batter on this turn (everyone gets to bat each inning and they rotate the order) so they were chanting her name and they let her run all the bases.

She's had about three practices and two games so far and is having fun. She did not like it the one time they got her out but that's part of the game. Plus, she has a cool pink glove. Kids today have everything!

More on teeth...

By the way, Sam finally got one of his canines in on Thursday. We have tooth activity going on everywhere! He now has seven, five on top and just two on the bottom. The other canine is getting close, too.

Gabby's tooth

Gabby lost her first tooth last Wednesday at her T-ball game. It had been loose for about two weeks, with the permanent tooth already coming up behind it. Mid-way through her game she came running over saying "I have to tell my daddy something! My tooth came out!" So she got a big cheer from all the parents sitting there. Of course we put it under her pillow for the Tooth Fairy who kindly left her some quarters.

A Trip to the Speedway

The Kansas Speedway had a free afternoon a few weeks ago so we went to check it out. It was the first race for all four of us and we had a lot of fun. We saw the Craftsman Trucks practicing and then an ARCA 150. We also walked out to the infield on the Fan Walk and got to see Indy cars getting weighed and checked over. They raced a few days later. We didn't stay for the whole race since it had gotten cold that afternoon and it was way louder than we expected. But it was fun to get a taste of racing to see if we liked it or not and to see the Speedway up-close.
