A few more baseball pictures. They are kind of blurry, but good ones of Colton batting and Colton going after a grounder!

A Few More Pictures
We went on a family walk to the park the other night and noticed Colton studying this sign. He then turned around and said "how do you know that the fish is twelve years old when you catch it?" Way funny! We all cracked up!

Lately...
The school year is coming to a close and the kids are getting so big! While we have been busy running all different directions, here are some pics of what has been going on in the meantime.
Alex and his school class at Learning Dynamics had a really cute Mother's Day program. The little girl in the purple next to him is his best friend.
While I was at one of Colton's baseball games, daddy held down the fort at home. I should have known something was going down when McKaleigh called and asked where the googly eyes and craft supplies were. While we were gone they made sock puppets - Brett is way talented - they were much better then some creatives i've concocted with the kids!
Alex at his soccer match. He had alot of littles on his team who would rather play at the nearby park than play soccer!
His whole team together for a group shot. We only have one game left and this was the first game that some of them even wanted to participate in!

Just A Post
No pics, as one of our computers is down, (but they will be coming) just a post.
As the Cushing household moves into Spring our live feel pretty hectic - and it becomes very apparent that we need Summer to hurry up and get here! Today I am just going to jot down the going's on here at the homestead with each of us. (an update for our blog books).
Dad is REALLY busy with work - he has some trips coming up, and when he is not heading into work at 5 a.m., then he is coming home late. He is such a trooper though - even after a full day at work, he is still available for consults with me about stuff going on here, baseball or soccer or walks to the park, fort building downstairs with the boys or general gameplaying. I don't know where he finds the energy (and patience), but he does and he is so good at it! I really got lucky in the husband department! He is such a source of calm, love and optimism.
McKaleigh is keeping herself busy with texting and on Facebook or just doing whatever on her Nook Tablet (the best Christmas gift ever). She is no longer in karate and is trying out some new things (Classes at the rec, long walks, videos). She is hoping to take tennis lessons this Summer, but I am not sure where we will fit that in. June is a Girls Camp and Youth Conference and her birthday trip to see Phantom of the Opera in Las Vegas, July is another girls camp, and in August we are going to Oregon. She is also trying to decide if she wants to take a summer school class to graduate early or make room for "fun" classes in her HS schedule. I can't believe that she is at that point, already getting ready for High School!
Colton is such an easy kid. Everyday he just does what needs to be done and then plays basketball or rides his ripstick outside. Baseball season and scouting activities keep him pretty busy though. He was offered entry into a special advanced program at another school, but declined in favor of staying at his current school with neighborhood friends, (he has a really great group of friends). I know he is NOT waiting for Summer, because he would rather just go to school - he loves it - the learning and doing and having some structure.
Alex really keeps us on out toes - this year he has attended a preschool that is REALLY far from home. For those two days a week I have been trying to get my homework in at the local library while he is at school. He makes friends really easily and LOVES the girls. Everywhere we go, the park, school, church - he always comes away with a crush on some little girl he can't wait to see again. He loves learning and is always asking me what this or that means or how it works (I can answer truthfully about half of the time - the rest of the time I tell him we will have to ask dad or look it up). He is currently in swimming and soccer and we will be heading into tee ball season with some of his neighborhood friends soon.
Me, well, life is just as it sounds - you know how it goes...but I am getting along just fine. I have been knocking down my BYU classes, and am doing pretty well. Watching kids here and there, running errands, cleaning, cooking, the usual. I just feel so lucky to have such a great support system of friends and family around to help me get through it all. I am truly blessed!
