All About Tanor

The last couple months we have been running like crazy between Tanor's karate and Sophi's dance class. A little more demanding of a schedule then we wanted for a "fun" activity but we all stuck through it and in the long run now its is paying off! Tanor is really enjoying karate now and seems to be trying his hardest to achieve green belt. Along with karate Tanor will be doing baseball this summer, he is so so so excited for this...seems to be all the boy is talking about lately!

Today, May 5th while riding in the car I was talking to Tyler about all Tanor has been learning in school and how well he is doing...example....while talking to Tyler I said, "we should go eat at Mexican today since its Cinco De Mayo." Tanor then jumped right in and was telling us all about it and what took place etc. Wow, was this mommy proud!!

This year in school Tanor has grown so much and learned so much! He is the youngest kid in his class and seemed to be falling behind alittle throughout the year but it seemed to be just a little "act" he was putting on because he scored the highest in his class on the Iowa basic test!! Seriously, I opened the results and it took my breath away! Wow...we have a smarty on our hands! He is a sponge soaking up all the new information! With the approval of his teacher Tanor is going on to first grade next year! We couldn't be happier with the news!

Tanor also is such a rewarding little boy, he is so generous and kind to everyone. We could not be more proud of who he is and is becoming! What 5 year old boy do you know that will wave 3 and 4 times along with blow us a kiss every morning before school? That's right mine does...and I'm going to Cherish this for as long as I can!! We have been told alot lately how polite our kids are what a wonderful compliment that is for a parent.

All about Sophi

Since I have missed so much blogging about certain things I decided to do a post about both kids!

Sophi has been a busy little girl lately! She is learning her letters and we are trying to work on her money skills as well! Sophi is enjoying lots of things at the moment but BUG'S seem to be her favorite...dead or alive she is always with one...which is really gross to mommy but I am glad to see she isn't scared of them!

I am proud to say both of my kids have the desire to help others as much if not more then I do! On May day 2012, the kids and I enjoyed a little gifting of flowers. When I was a kid we used to deliver flowers to houses and ring the door bell and then run away without getting caught! So this year I taught my kids the gift of giving for May day. This is one of my favorite holidays! What did you do for May day?

Even at a young age Sophi is one of the most polite people I know, hopefully it stays that way! She is as sassy as ever! Look at the picture and you will understand what I am talking about!

Here is Sophi in her dance recital outfit.

Sophi is so excited about her very first dance recital this weekend...May 5th and 6th! Wow, I really dont think i have ever seen her enjoy something so much. She is loving dance and getting to show off her moves to everyone is an extra benefit for her!

Miss Sophi is growing like a weed, one day she is going to grow into a beautiful independent women.  Her father and I could not be anymore proud of her!

Summer time "itches"!

Summer time itches is what I have! I know you love the wording dont you? 

We are on the count down til school is out! 14 days!! WOOT HOOT! I feel like a kid again...no more getting up and getting dressed at the butt crack of dawn, no more yelling and fighting  with the kids to eat breakfast, no more driving to and from school everyday to get Tanor! I am thrilled! I think Tanor might be just as excited as well!

This summer is filled with fun, fun, fun!! Jealous? Yes, its all a secret! Dont you wish you knew?!

Sorry for the lack of post lately, I have really really busy with business lately!
