Picky Eaters

Brad has always been a good eater. He will try almost everything and tends to make correct decisions when it comes to food choices. Lyndsey, on the other hand, not such a good eater. She loves carbs, and candy and junk food. She will go through spurts of only eating chicken nuggets...but not fried chicken or chicken tenders, because, you know, those are different. One day she will like something, the other she won't. I once tried to bribe her to TRY Froot Loops with a Popsicle! She turned it down! She will not eat peanut butter, but when told that we have non peanut butter peanut butter cookies, she will eat them and like them. She will also eat Reese's sticks, but not Reese's cups. she won't eat American cheese slices, or cubed cheddar cheese, but give her "alive" cheese she eats it all. (for those of you who don't know what "alive cheese is...it is Lyndsey for shredded, non melted cheese) If you put that "alive cheese" in a tortilla and heat it up to make a quesadilla, you have killed it and she will no longer eat it! This is a picture of a momentous occasion in our house. Lyndsey actually ate a Nutella sandwich! Who know if she will eat it tomorrow, but her and Brad ate it today!

Soccer Boy

This is Brad's first year playing soccer. I convinced Danny to be his coach. He is doing great and loves it, but so far we haven't found a sport he doesn't love! He has even scored a goal 2 games in a row!

Dance Class

This is Lyndsey's second year of dance. She attends Straub Dance once a week for 30 minutes from August to May learning dance and preparing for the big recital at the end of the year. This year she is dancing to "My Favorite Things" from the Sound of music. This years recital is Memorial day weekend. She has one class left to learn all of her dance steps. She has been practicing for 9 months for a 2 minute piece. Does she know the whole piece? Stay turned for exclusive video from the recital.
