Late Night

This is what happens when you stay up way too late on a school night. McKade came home from school today and crashed. We were up way past anyone's bedtime last night. I thought for sure he was sick and would wake up with Strep Throat the next morning but he was just fine and very well rested. Love you Bubba!

Jr. Jazz

Thanks to the Jr. Jazz program we were all able to go to a Jazz game tonight. Since Brett coached Trevin's team we had enough tickets for all of us-except for Harlee to go to the game and the best part was that we all got a free hot dog and drink as well. The Jazz played the New York Knicks and it was a close game but the Jazz pulled out a win at the end. I don't have any pictures because I left my camera in the car. Bryn got a pink Deron Williams jersey and she looked super cute in it. We bought it a little big so it would fit for a while. I will have to remember to take a picture of her when she wears it again. It was a fun night and sure nice to get away for the evening.

Brynlee

Brynlee has been taking a tumbling class for competitive dance and she is constantly cartwheeling around the house. She has been working on her back bends and as of yesterday she can do a back bend into a back walk-over all by herself. She has been doing a one handed cart wheel for a while and hopefully soon they will start working on back handsprings too. I was trying to get some pictures of her cartwheels but it didn't work out too well.

She Finally Did It!!!

After months of pleading and trying and failing, Harlee finally decided it was time to be a big girl and go potty all by herself. I kept telling her she could start taking dance as soon as she decided she was going to be a big girl. I think this time it finally paid off. She has been going strong since Friday and has only had 4 accidents in 4 days. Not too bad!!!! She is so excited to be able to start taking dance and start going to pre-school-my baby is growing up!!! Good Job Harlee Bug!!!

Crazy Harlee

Harlee is wild and crazy and pretty much has free reign over the house on Tuesday nights while I am working. Trevin was at Scouts, Brynlee at dance and Brett and McKade had gone up to the baseball field to help out with the uniform exchanges. We are still working on getting her potty trained and she put these tights on all by herself. Oh yeah, and for some reason she absolutely loves the slippers that are 3 sizes too big. I sure love that girl!!!

Pack Meeting

Tonight was Pack Meeting and McKade received his Wolf Badge. He actually had this finished last month but we had something else going on and we weren't able to make it to Pack Meeting. Since Pack Meeting falls on a Tuesday night Brett got to go and be "mom" while McKade was receiving his badge. McKade loves Scouts and is now working on his Bear. Good Job Bubba!!!

Play Ball

Baseball has begun again at the Ruoti house. It's that crazy time of year where we are all running in different directions. This year has proven to be no different. Not only is Brett coaching Trevin's team but he is also serving on the board for the Rookie/T-Ball division as their VP. However, we were lucky enough and it worked out that the boys will practice on the same nights at the same place. This took a huge load off of my shoulders. Trevin is playing for the Major Red Sox and McKade is playing in the competitive division for the Minor Mariners. Before I typed up this post I went back to read my posts from last year and we weren't sure that McKade would ever go back to playing baseball again. He told me last night that he is having fun. I think that year of growing up helped him gain a little more confidence. Hopefully Mother Nature will be kind this year and send us some warm weather so we can actually enjoy baseball season.
