Just hanging out...

We are so proud of Cade...he was named "camper of the week" last week at soccer camp! I'm not sure what the coach based his choice on, but Cade was in a group of 18 competive players, so he must have played hard and well!

Jake has been playing with several neighborhood friends this week. We are so blessed to be in an area where the boys have so many friends their age to play with. His best buddy lives right across the street from us. His name is Philip and he has a lot in common with Jake. He is in Jake's challenge class at school, and he was Jake's partner for the talent show where they recited/acted out "Who's on First?" It was hysterical! This summer they love to play harry potter (a game they made up since reading the series) and they sync their DS games up and play each other.

Crew has started to say a few new words this week. "Bop" is usually bottle, but can also mean passy or lovey. He says, "out", "up", "ball", "hi", "mom", "da", "ja" (jake) "yeah", and "yes". It's so fun to watch him play and figure things out. He loves to put small items into larger containers. He loves to dance to any and all music; and he definitely had a favorite TV show...the Backyardigans!

Our rock garden is coming along...today my brother picked up the rocks that I picked out and brought them to the house and "installed" them for me. Next we hope to find a few cool things to plant around the area.

Gabe is gearing up for our big indoor soccer game tomorrow night - we play the Lil' Giants. Hopefully we'll "crush" them! Afterwards, we are having a team dinner and then watching fire works together. Friday morning, we'll go the 4th of July parade here in Coppell, then stroll down 35 to visit Janice and Wendell in San Antonio.

Happy 4th of July everyone!!
