Happy Mother's Day!


I can't believe that it has already been a week since our last post. We had a pretty typical week. Jaxson had dance on Monday which is coming to an end. They have their recital in two weeks--that will be pretty interesting/entertaining -I am sure. We are gearing up for soccer which starts the first Monday in June. Jaxson missed the age cut off for ECFE sports so Presten and I decided to start our own class. We have about eight 2-4 years olds who have signed up from our neighborhood and we are going to hold it at the park. Presten and I have never played soccer so it is going to be pretty interesting! We are hoping that we are not in over our heads-however, it is parent child participation so that should help.

Presten is getting a little practice with teaching because he is working with a long term sub from the Rogers Elementary School doing what is called Jr. Achievers with a second grade class. He talks with them about the community and jobs and how they work together. He is really enjoying it and he said that he is very impressed about how smart they are.

We spent many hours at the park this week. I think that Jaxson would live there if he could! He also spent a lot of time playing with Dianna (our little neighbor girl who is in kindergarten). On Thursday they played house outside for an hour. They were on a boat and Dianna was the dad and Jaxson was the son. It was pretty entertaining. This is also when Jaxson apparently thought that he was having too much fun or he was really taking the "pretend house" thing too seriously because he decided to pee outside in the grass. He thought he was pretty funny! I said "next time please come inside and go in the bathroom!:)"

Saturday night Jaxson went with Presten and then TJ, Kylie, Briac and Trenton to the Twins game. Presten said that Jaxson had so much fun watching the game and being goofy with his cousins.

Today we went over to Presten's parents to celebrate Mother's Day. Jim and Ella came home this week. To give an update on them-Ella was continually tested for the infection and everything now came back negative and she went home on Friday with a clean bill of health! Praise God! Jim-had a little more excitement than he probably would of liked. They still were not able to inflate his lung. There were two holes in it so his right lung so it was completely flat. On Monday they did surgery and took out the top piece of his right lung. He came home from the hospital on Wednesday, but he is still pretty sore. They came over to Vickie and Steve's today so it was really good to see him. Ella was wide awake and alert and is as cute as ever!

Vada is on the MOVE! She actually just started crawling forward today! When she wants something she goes after it. She is just getting the hang of it -but it won't be long before she is all over the place!

We are getting ready to get in the garden! This week looks like it should be an okay week weather wise. We hope everyone has a great week! The Bean's

Here is a little video of Vada she is laughing all the time--we hope it makes you smile!
