Making Improvements =)

Caiden has been going to ASI gymnastics for 6 weeks now and is making SO much progress. He is still the youngest in the class but so he's not as advanced as some of the almost 3 year olds! But, he's learned how to jump with both feet, hang on the bars, and do his front and back rolls! He is getting better at transitions, but still have a hard time leaving the trampolines and putting the sticks away!

Some Things Do Change...

Last night we went to my 10 year high school reunion at Celebrations in Highland Village. It was so strange to see so many people I hadn't seen since the days at Marcus High School. I was reunited with several good friends (the Pantino's gang, Megan who I beat Mario 3 with, Josh who came to SFA for several years, Mandi Kubicek-one part of the Mandi/Mandy story, the Goff twins-yes, I'm still in trouble for giving away an autographed picture of Steve Young, and many more!) and we spent a lot of the night hanging out with part of the old neighborhood gang (Courtney, Brian and I wanted to go play Ghost Ghost in the Graveyard or go roll someone's house but we figured we'd get shot!)

I was pleasantly surprised that people really had changed and although people seemed to still hang out with the same crowd, most everyone was very social and made their rounds to say hi. Ten years really does make a difference!

We missed having Julie with us but we stopped by to see their newest addition to the family before we went to the reunion. So cute and she's doing GREAT for having a newborn and a 2 year old! We also stopped by Bill and Leslie's, the family I used to babysit for. The kids are in 6th and 9th grade now!!!

So glad we went...the night was a lot more fun than I expected and it was great getting to talk to old friends and relive a lot of the memories from 1998!

Ice Cream Social

Tonight was an ice cream social up at school and since two of my team members have kids around Caiden's age, we all decided to go so the kids could play! Caiden was being very social =)

Just relaxing...

It's so nice to make it to the weekends and finally get to spend time together. Saturday morning while the temperature was still in the lower 70's, we decided to talk our normal walk to the playground and let Caiden play a little. We didn't get the house completely cleaned like we said we were going to do on Sat. mornings but the time outside was well worth a dirty house!

I think he was really excited!

Caiden's new fascination is shoes. Doesn't matter whose they are, he wants them on! And, he's learned how to put them on all by himself!
