We are all trying to play tennis through our colds. Mark had two tennis tournaments that he had to suffer through with congestion.Cough....Cough.... but he did pretty well. (Just don't ask him, he won't agree)
Ben and Hannah's Tennis teams are doing great and having fun. We have had to sit through traffic on a Friday night a few times to get to these other tennis clubs, but it is worth it to see them out there trying their best. I am trying to help captain Ben's team. I am glad they are all kids that know how the Jr. tennis teams work. It has been pretty easy. Mark helps coach both of their teams when he can. He certainly seems to love coaching all those kids. I know they like having him out there helping. He has so much patience!
Ashton had some time out on the tennis courts with his daddy yesterday. He has his tiny little racket in hand, and looked adorable. His attention span doesn't last long, but I am glad he like to pick up all those balls afterwards. Get some of his energy out! Now my tennis is another story. I wish I could get out there more. I think 1-2 times a month is my average. I keep telling myself that my time will come! I hope it comes soon!
Now soccer is still on our agenda. I thought it would be over once December hit, but they both wanted to do more! (Boy do these kids keep us busy!) Ben and Hannah play on an indoor soccer team on Sundays. I guess we should be lucky that there is no practice during the week. I wouldn't know how to fit that into the schedule even if there was. With Tennis practice every day after school and Ben's extra tennis class on Saturdays; I think we pretty much filled up every day of the week. I keep trying to take a photo of the kids soccer, but my camera isn't cool enough to capture their quickness! So sorry Ben and Hannah....Ash get's most of the photos here. ;) Ashton only sport related scheduled activity is Little Gym. Somewhat of a little gymnastics class for the small ones. It is fun. He really enjoys it. I think his favorite thing is hanging on the bars when he gets there.
We are super excited about our new find! We happen to go into Sports Authority looking for some things for Ben, and walked out with a Lefty baseball glove!! Some of you may not know that our little Ashton is following in his daddy's footsteps. He is our Left handed boy. We are discouraging baseball in the house (although nerf football, nerf soccer, and nerf basketball are okay) He seemed to catch onto the concept of the mitt in hand and ball in the other. Of course that didn't last too long either. That darn 2 year old attention span! ;)
Ashton is still attending the Mill Creek CO-OP preschool. He likes it there. I am thankful that they have all the messy stuff that I refuse to have in the house. Like glue, sparkles and VOLCANOES! ***See video!** That lovely combination of baking soda and Vinegar. Not really sure if I am up for all that at the house. ;)
