April updates

Letters and words....that is all the rage around our house when it comes to Keaton these days. The month of April has been an amazing month for the boys developmentally. I just am amazed each day by them. Keaton has learned how to write all his letters from A to Z in capitals and now he has mastered most of the lower case letters. Now that he knows how to write the letters he wants to spell words so he loves to sit with his Doodle and write letters and words. He is fascinated by spelling and it's so fun to watch this all happen and work out in his amazing mind. He graduates from his preschool class on May 20th so pics will come soon after. May will be a busy month as preschool as lots of end of the year events planned so we are really looking forward to all the fun. Hard to believe his first year of preschool is over.

Ryan too is growing leaps and bounds this month also. He is really trying to master talking and is adding new words or should I say sentences to is vocabulary each day. He is into puzzles, cars, trains and of course dinosaurs. He loves drawing and coloring on anything he can so I have to keep an eye on him just in case he finds a lone crayon as the wall can be his canvas without a thought!!! He is a fast runner and loves being outside and digging in the sand. Ryan is my doll baby as I just cant believe he is growing so fast these days. My baby is almost two !!!! Time is just going by to fast lately.

Spring has finally arrived at least I think so in Colorado. It's hard to tell around here as the weather has been very hard to figure out. One day it's 75 degrees and the next its 34 degrees. Thank goodness things have taken a turn for the better and we have been steady in the 60's and 70's for the last 2 weeks. Thank god as I am sooooooo done with winter and soooooo ready for summer. My grass is finally turning green (at least I think so), my trees(the few I have) are getting leaves and I am getting ready to plant flowers this weekend. I am sure my planting will bring on a Spring snow event!!! We are in the process of getting estimates on our second story deck so hopefully this summer we will get our deck built! I hope all friends and family will visit soon!!!

Ben is working alot as my dads company is merging with a Denver based company and my dear husband has taken on a new role which I guess it's called a promotion. With this comes more working hours and lots more responsibilities however he is gaining so much experience his head could spin off at any moment but he loves it. I love it as the pay raise makes him not so grumpy about money and finances!!!

As for me I am still a work in progress. I am continuing to work out 4 to 5 days a week and feel pretty good about my progress. I fit into a size 8 again for the first time since Keaton was born. I have lost a few inches around the waist but the most important things is I feel really good. I will never be bone skinny as that's not my body type or shape but I just want to be toned , feel good about myself and have energy to keep up with my kids and that is the most rewarding things of all!!!

Overall April has been a great month with once again lots of changes!
