Sheldon

This is Sheldon's favorite place, Preston Idaho. I asked him if he would rather go to Disney World or Preston...he said Preston.
Sheldon went to the Portland Zoo yesterday, with his 1st grade class and his 6th grade buddy. He just has a few more days of first grade left, which is sad for me. I am not ready for him to grow up so fast. He on the other hand has been counting down the days for some time, and seems a little too excited for summer.

Sheldon is really into basketball right now. His main passion is the NBA playoffs...lately he has been cheering against the LA Laker's because they knocked out his Jazz. He spends every recess at school and every spare minute at home playing basketball.
Right now is baseball season and Sheldon is on a coach pitch team called the bats. He is really competitive and serious out there... and loves every second of it.


This is a picture of Sheldon reading his favorite book, 'The River' by Gary Paulsen. Sheldon told me that he likes to read...once he starts reading...but he doesn't always like to start.

Taylor

Taylor and her dance teacher at class.

She was so excited to put her soccer uniform on. She wanted to do soccer instead of t-ball. After her first soccer practice she told me that she didn't know that girls played sports....somehow I have messed up somewhere.

She is official... she has a soccer card. She asked me if we could change her name to "Soccer Star".
After we got home from church I found her here.
In order to get this picture you have to read the children's book "Owen" by Kevin Henkes. She loves to stuff her blanket in her pajama's. And in case your wondering I would never threaten to take away her blanket...I don't believe in blanket fairies.
