Another Month – Another Post

The first weekend of May Dave took Gavin and Spencer to the Las Vegas Supercross , where Gavin got to meet his Motocross Idol – Kenny “The Cowboy” Bartram- they had so much fun.  They went down with Dave’s Brother Justin, his wife Lara, and their baby Ella.  My boys adore Ella and were so excited to spend so much time with her – Spencer even bragged to me that he got to change her clothes.  While they were in Vegas, Cooper and I stayed home.  We went to the What Women Want Expo and Chuck E Cheese – it brought back memories of how easy it was to only have one child, but I was so excited to see the other two when they got home.

The next weekend all of the boys raced in Spanish Fork.  Gavin raced his KX65, Spencer on his KTM50 and Cooper raced his Power Wheels Jeep.  Cooper was going to race his Four Wheeler but two days prior, he fell off of his scooter at the park and wound up at the ER with a concussion, so he was taking it easy on the day of the race.  All boys did really well at the race and didn’t mind when they didn’t come in first place – and they all got trophies!!

Last weekend Dave went to Moab with his bros – and I stayed home with all three boys this time.  We all had a lot of fun and enjoyed each other’s company.  Friday ,Gavin and Spencer had a Piano Recital.  Gavin played the Snake Dance and Spencer played The Train Song.  Gavin used the book (he didn’t need to, he has the song memorized) and Spencer did not, he played from memory.  They have been taking lessons now for two years.  We started with Grandma Julie teaching them and about a year ago they started getting a little mouthy with Grandma so we switched to a teacher here in our neighborhood.  They have taken it really slow, learning a song a week and it has paid off – they both were amazing!!  A few people asked us how old Spence is because he did so well for being such a little boy.

Spencer Graduated Kindergarten today – he is getting so old – he sang all the words to the songs and knew all the actions – I’m so proud of him, he works so hard.

Cooper will graduate Preschool tomorrow and he is very, very excited.  He has grown up so much in the last year going to preschool.  He is even spelling, and writing his own name. 

We found out a couple of weeks ago that we are going to be adding to our family.  I’m pregnant and due January 14th.  All the boys are DYING for a little sister – even after I’ve assured them that we don’t know how to make them – and are going to be very upset if we bring home a baby brother.  At this point, I’ve been trying to talk Dave into a baby for two years, so I will take whatever I can get.  I think a girl would be fun, but at the same time, I know how to do the boy thing – and – Dave is one of four boys and I think it would be fun to carry that on into our family.
