Skating Progress

Cutler is starting to progress as a skater…well at least as much as a 3 year old can after just two practices.  Below is a video of Cutler’s first solo skate (I wish I could edit out the overbearing parent yelling at his kid to get up seconds after he fell).

And naturally, not long after he experienced his first solo fall.

Hard to believe, that just a couple of years ago this fancy skating Mason was going through the same thing (I also wish I could edit out me asking Mason to skate backwards only to have him ignore me, must have been too loud in there).

Happy Belated Easter

The boys prefer the "funny" face over the smile

I apologize for this being late, but better late than never…right?

I hope everyone had as blessed of an Easter as we did.  We woke up early and hunted for eggs, ate too much candy for breakfast and some donuts, had a great dinner with the local family, and then while lying around getting ready for bed Mason became the spiritual leader in the house.  He looked at us and said that he wanted to give a gift to Jesus and we explained that the gift Jesus would like most is to lead his life the way Jesus has shown and so he then decided that we should all pray together as a family out loud.  So we joined hands and bowed our heads and listened to Mason say “God thank you for my awesome life and this great house and my family” and before Mason could finish Cutler was moved to throw in “And thank you for God”.  It was the best Easter gift I could ever receive to see our boys realize how good we have and who we have to thank.
