barrett: 131 months old

                                            

If you saw Britton's post, you know why I'm so late here!  It's felt like the busiest month in forever.  Barrett had his spring choir concert this month and the choir gets to perform the national anthem at a Rice baseball game in a week.  He's happy that early morning practices are over!  We are gearing up for Barrett's 11th birthday next month, and he's decided on a "gamer" theme because we got a video game truck.  This thing is so cool!  They bring a trailer to your house and the kids play video games on a ton of screens.  Barrett has had pool parties the last few years, so it was time to mix it up!  This weekend Barrett started soccer.  He would probably like soccer more if it wasn't so hot out, but that's Texas for you.  He really wants to do football, and I found a fun football camp this summer for him to learn the ins and outs.  Plus, both he and Britton are going to a sea sleep away camp where they get to learn all about marine biology and other fun sea-related topics!  This will be his first time at sleep away camp, so I'm glad Britton will be there to keep an eye out for him.

Soccer action shots!

Yep, I know I'm a bit late here, and honestly, if Memaw hadn't reminded me I might have forgotten April altogether!  It's been a busy month, let me tell you.  Britton is still in her softball season, which is wrapping up April 19th.  Cue my sad face!  Because I have found myself really enjoying her games and getting to know her teammates better.  They are such a fun group of girls!  Britton is ready for school to be over (not me!) and for the summer to start, but neither of my kids are self-starters when they don't have school so I like that school forces them to get up and get going.
