I don't have any real good reasons to blog, but I know some of you are waiting for my next one...so bare with me as I scrap some things together that will hopefully entertain you for hours on end.
Genevieve is doing really well in her second year of preschool and she loves going! I got to teach a lesson on Oral Hygiene this week and all 18 of the 4 year olds sat very quietly and paid very close attention to my presentation. And I know she was paying attention because after her nap that same day, she had some fruit snacks and then told me that we needed to go brush her teeth since she ate a sticky sugary snack. Momma's so proud!
It's super crazy for us to think about, but she will be starting Kindergarten next year! That will most likely be a day that I shed some tears! :(
Jocelyn is enjoying her first year of preschool. Notice how I used the word "enjoying" and not "loving?" That's because she is not a huge fan of it. She goes, and she doesn't throw a fit about it, and shes happy when I pick her up, but she would rather not go if she had the choice. Unfortunately for her...she doesn't have a choice.
Both girls do gymnastics every week and have also been skiing a handful of times this winter season. It is pretty amazing how quickly little ones can pick up a sport! They are anxious for good weather so that they can start riding their bikes more often.
The teachers at Mt. Olive talked and feel as though "The McCoys" should have more kids. What can I say, my girls are cute and 99% of the time respectful and obedient in class. Unfortunately, that does not constitute adding another McCoy child to the family. But we appreciate the compliment! :) In fact, the teachers have obviously not heard "I am never playing with you again!" That is a new sentence that is being highly over-used in our household these days.
Speaking of Mt. Olive...the girls have learned a lot of good Christian habits and ideas from preschool. Jenna informed us yesterday that "God is important. Like milk."
Sam and I just celebrated our 9th year of marriage! We are very blessed to have each other, our children, our friends and family, our church and our jobs. What more could we ask for?
We have both become more into fitness and exercise lately. We are both registered for Bloomsday, a 7.5 mile run in May which is held in Spokane. 3 weeks after that, Sam is participating in "Reach the Beach" where he will be riding his bike from Newburg, Or to Pacific City, Or. This is an 80 mile ride. The girls and I are thinking about going down to greet him at the finish line! ***Anyone interested in making a donation in his name to the American Lung Association, visit: http://tinyurl.com/4bcf62e
AND THEN...Sam and I are going to take part in our first Marathon together in October in Portland, Oregon. Are we crazy? Yes, we are, and we understand that, but we are also okay with that! We are both already training for it by doing really small runs 3 times a week just to build up our stamina without injuring ourselves. We will start to increase our mileage pretty soon in hopes that the May 1st Bloomsday run will be a piece of cake. (Or at least just not "unbearable!")
Starting in June is when the training really picks up with 3 moderate runs during the week and one long run every weekend. Since we are both going to be training, we are going to try and do our runs at separate times so that we don't have to leave the girls home alone. They wouldn't like that. Neither would CPS. So, if anyone gets bored during the summer months and is looking for 2 kids to play with...hit us up! We will donate ours! :)
