Pictures from the soccer field

Spencer on the move.... Spencer kicking it in.....
Spencer down......
Uh, Spencer, you're supposed to walk too.
This was Spencer's second game and again he did awesome. He may just be the next Beckham if he keeps it up. He seems to really enjoy it and there is a smile on his face the entire time he's in the game. He's always in the mix and trying to get the ball. The boy won't talk to the other kids because he's so shy but he doesn't shy away from playing the game so that's good.

And here's Brenden being bored at soccer

And Cassidy saying cheese

Cassidy is always good at the games. She's been going to sports for Brenden since she was born. This is Brenden's first time being the spectator and not the player so he's a little bored. He's such a busy body anyway and doesn't like to sit still.

Crazy Busy!

I've been crazy busy the last 4 days. Mom moved to town on Thursday and I spent all morning on Friday at her place unpacking her and then home for lunch and kids naps and then mom came over for dinner. Saturday was Spencer's first soccer game....his team won and he's gonna be a great soccer player. For his first game ever, HE ROCKED! Then after the game I had to go immediately to a cousin's bridal shower 1hr 20mins away and didn't get home til 5:30 and I was beat! Sunday had to go back to mom's and do more unpacking and moving furniture. But her place looks great. Now today is Monday and I'm finally catching up on my own house chores. Spencer and I are practicing writing to get him ready for kindergarten in the fall. He's ready he says, until the day comes and he realizes he's not in Brenden's class! I'm however not ready!

Funny thing to tell my Urbana friends....I met a girl at my cousin's bridal shower who is part of the Michael's family from Michael's Farms. Small world huh? She's 22 so I don't know her and she doesn't have siblings our age but isn't it weird how the "6 degrees of separation" works sometimes. Like how I met Richard and his roomate was dating Emily Compton's sister. (They're now married too. Kristy was one of my bridesmaids if you remember) Just was strange how two guys from Columbus meet and are dating at the same time girls from Urbana.

Anywho, I'm getting anxious for vacation at Outer Banks again. We leave right after school is out for the summer. This weather makes me ready for it. Mom is Bob and Jones sitting for us. Jones is now an indoor/outdoor cat. After years of sneaking out the back door every chance he can get, we decided to get him a flea collar and let him go out too. He can't fit through the slots in the fence so he won't take off. He still can't get used to the fact that he's actually allowed to go out now. He flies to the door when we ask him if he wants to go out, like are you kidding me?? Of course I want to go out. That's it for now....

random thoughts

Pictures of Cassidy, her 2 yr old pictures. The first one is sweet, the second is ornery. That's Cassidy. A mix of both.


Spencer started soccer last week. He loves it. He smiles the entire practice and looks at us after doing everything for the smiles and thumbs up from us. Yesterday he was looking at us when he ran by and ran right into the goal post and down he went. I busted out in laughter. Where's the camcorder when you need it. His first game is this Saturday. He made two goals last night at practice. He got $1 for them. He'll get $1 for each goal he makes in the games too. We've always done that with Brenden and now the tradition continues with Spencer. Spencer has lost 2 bottom teeth in the last month (3/15 and then 4/8). He turns 5 on May 1st. OMG! Where has the time gone????

Brenden is in his off season of sports so that Spencer can get his turn to start sports and we don't have to divide our time between the boys in two different sports on the same day.

My mom is moving to Lancaser tomorrow. Looking forward to having her nearby and for the kids being able to see her more often. 7 weeks til vacation. I'm losing weight and I'm down 1 size so far. Jillian Michaels, a trainer from Biggest Loser, is kicking my butt daily but it's worth it. I'm also starting jogging. Exercising isn't so bad afterall. Also been playing soccer in the backyard with Spencer.

TTFN!
