YUMMERS!

A little cold

+ a bit of teething = 's (Just in case you can't see it well enough) YUMMY!

Family Friendly Soccer

We found this awesome program in our area called Family Friendly Soccer. A mother and father started it because they had two children in soccer and another child that wanted to play. They weren't sure how they would fit in 6 practices a week and 3 games on Saturday...let alone the $$$ to do it all. This way the kids get enough experience and are ready to play competitively when they get to middle school/high school. AND...it's $8 per child PER YEAR. That's right! $8 A YEAR!

It's every Saturday at 9:30. Because of their age our boys only have 30-40 minutes of "practice" and another 20-30 minute scrimmage. One hour....ding dang DONE!

It's amazing and a definite answer to a prayer.

We had Gabe in an area soccer league. It was really competitive and WAY too intense for him. Two practices a week...one hour game...etc. He hated it. We wouldn't let him quit. It was a huge mess. We prayed for an alternative...to EASE the tension in our home....along came FFS. Plus...we could afford for Cael to do it too.

Cael LOVE IT!

He's so cute. Whenever he does something good and/or scores a goal I cheer for him. He gets this little grin on his face then ducks his head all embarrassed like. I LOVE IT!

I didn't get any pictures of Gabe this time. He was being a little less than co-operative that day. But...he's liking it now and we are MUCH happier.

The Lord DOES answer prayers. That I know.

Mega-exhausted

Driving home from Spokane late tonight Gabe pipes up from the back and says,

"I'm about to get WAY more than exhausted."


Super funny!


Later I questioned him about the name for "way more than exhausted."

"Mega-exhausted," was his reply.

A look into the lives......

Sneak Peaks:

School Started

Gabe is in 2nd grade now and, as you can see, always
SUPER enthusiastic about having his picture taken.

I found Cael walking back and forth on the retaining wall, mumbling to himself, dressed for war.

Kian has discovered his feet and enjoys sucking on his toes whenever
the opportunity presents itself.

Uncle Andrew came to visit. We all enjoyed playing a bit of Rock Band
together (especially after the kids were in bed. :)

Kian is 5 1/2 months

and has started eating solids (so he will go back to sleeping 10 hours at night)

I cant get enough of his big brown (bugged out) eyes!

Also, Gabe started soccer.

It has been a bit of an adventure.

While practice has been a bit rough, he did enjoy his first game.

"Man...I'm pooped"

Where are the pictures of Isaac you ask?

Who knows?

Such is the middle child syndrome.
