Bragging Rights

Trey continues to impress us with his abilities :)
2 Fridays ago he competed in the Hershey's Chocolate Track and Field meet. It was very well done, just a lot of events and kids. They started with opening ceremonies and then we had to wait a few hours because he was racing in the last events. He raced 200m and 400m and came in second both times in his heat. He was competing against 10 other cities in the valley and against 9-10 year olds. His final placement was 8th in the 200 and 5th in the 400. Best of all he enjoyed it!
He has also been amazing in football. Saturday he had 3 touchdowns, a 2 point conversion and 2 interceptions! As I said before, don't know where he gets it from :)
The best part is that he gets to use his energy in productive ways and meet new friends...and no it does not tire him out, we have yet to find an activity that does! Maybe cleaning the house??? Ha ha
He is looking forward to summer break but will keep up on his reading and sports.
He loves playing with friends and scouts. His last den meeting he got to participate in the retiring of a US flag and then eat donuts. This past week they were working on a food/cooking badge so they had a BBQ at his leaders house.
Coby loves going to practice and the games. This Saturday as I was filming he was taking self portraits...see below.
Nothing else new going on, enjoying a lot of family time. I am also loving our new cleaning schedule...each day of the week all of us together thoroughly clean one room.
Disclaimer on the video...you might need some anti-nausea medicine before watching and no, I am not the one yelling go, go, go :)
Mark is working on editing the video, so for right now jump to about 55 seconds.
Okay, so now just try going to this link since the video was taking over my blog :)

Easter

Last night we decorated some eggs. The boys love seeing the vibrant colors when the eggs come out! They put sticker faces on them after.
They were so excited to find their goodies and candy this morning. Coby kept talking about getting jelly beans out of the eggs...guess the Easter bunny better stick with jelly beans. He also had to hide the goodies up high so Layla did not get a midnight snack.
After we relaxed a little and then went for a hike. With all the rain and Spring season the mountain is covered with wildflowers. The boys loved pointing out the colors.
We are just spending the day together, tonight we will cook a ham and sides. Does it get an better??
Mark and I grew up very different when it comes to holidays. My family never went anywhere and rarely spent holidays with extended family/friends. Mark's family has large gatherings every holiday. If you know my personality, large groups are not my thing :)
Trey had his first football game yesterday. So exciting, I love having boys! He was the quarterback the first half and then got 2 touchdowns and Mark is the coach! He must have taught him something right. Although Trey has always been very athletic and competitive. He doesn't get it from me :)
