life.

i need to update our life.  it's crazy.  but whose ins't?  i don't like to be super busy, i am not the type of person that's prides myself on how many activities my kids are in.  i like to keep things simple.  i want to enjoy this time right now.  i don't know how some people do it that have more kids and more activities!  even with what we have, i feel like we are busier than we should be.

andi has grown so much this year.  she is still pretty shy but has really blossomed.  her teacher this year is amazing.  she loves teaching and always has an animal in the room, which makes ansi so happy.  every friday they have math olympics.  the first three students to finish, and get 100%, get a medal.  ansi has won the bronze medal 6 times.  she gets so excited any time she wins.  she is still taking piano (which is a constant battle and last month we almost quit, but we are still trying).  she and cohen take tennis once a week and love it.  i love watching them.  i tried downloading a video of ansi doing her forehand.  she was on fire one night, but i can't get it uploaded.  she also really wanted to start ballet and tap.  we tried this several years ago and it was a battle so i gave.  this time we are just doing a class at the community center so it is very low key.  but, she is doing it with her best friend and loves it.  she is such a good little girl and is really growing up!(oh, and she takes about 50 selfies a day on my phone)

cohen is still my little peacemaker.  he is seriously the sweetest and most kind little boy.  he has turned into my little sports stud.  he is really into all sports right now.  he just finished basketball and his team was undefeated and won the championship!  he was so excited to get that trophy!  i just started soccer.  i have him in one league that just has a practice on saturday and then the game right after.  then last week my good friend called and asked if cohen wanted to be on her sons team in a different league.  we went ahead and did it cause this coach is a little more serious and this is a team he can stick with next year.  he still does tennis too with ansi once a week and is really fun to watch.  he is also really into his hair right now.  it can drive me crazy sometimes!  he has literally cried on the way to the bus stop because he didn't have enough gel.  i just love this sweet little boy and hope he always stays that way!

neal.  i just can't get enough of this kid.  he has so much spunk and attitude.  he can be very difficult at times, but then he can be the sweetest little boy ever.  he loves to help me cook.  he is obsessed with baby jane.  one day i heard him talking to her saying," jane do you know how much i love you?  like so much.  really jane like so so much.  i just love you."  i almost started crying it was so tender.  he has been enjoying preschool, playgroup and sports class.  he is also my climber.  he literally climbs on everything!  he loves to climb every tree and on the way to the bus stop he has to climb over then fence instead of walking through the gate.  he even climbs on top of my car.  it gives everyone a heart attack anytime they see him do it.  we call him our little monkey.  i just love him to pieces.

jane jane is still the sweetest baby ever.  she is crawling around a lot and pulls her self up to cruise along the furniture.  she loves to be outside.  everyone absolutely adores her!
