Our Week in Review

I have started making Caroline work for her food! She can vacuum and mop pretty good..













I was able to help make John's dream come true this week. He celebrated his birthday this Thursday at Back Yard Burger. Thomas helped me plan it. We actually had soccer practice and then we all usually go eat. I just brought cookie cake and ice cream for the kids. Here he is with all his friends!!!





















Our 1st soccer game. Everyone looked really cute! We have some things to work on in soccer. Number 1.... The rules of the game. Thomas was very upset because he wanted the ball all by himself. He then tackled and pushed his own team members when they tried to get the ball. So.....we have some work to do. But, it is a little confusing because they are all trying to get the ball. Kind of like a swarm of bees.





Caroline ready to run.


















Both teams lining up ready to play. The cute girl in the pigtails was good! ( I know her mom!) She turned the ball all the way around at our teams' goal and kicked it all the way down to her goal to score!! (Remember they are 3 and 4 yrs old)









The girls cheering for their brothers....aren't the cute!!! I think they could have played too.












Thomas getting ready.

GO STATE!!

We had a great day in Starkville! Caroline loved all the game day excited. She LOVES dogs and loved seeing dogs everywhere.


















Thomas and his cowbell. Funny story...We were going into the game. John was holding Thomas with his cowbell. The nice lady said sir, you need to hide that. So I hid it in my bag. The whole way in and up to our seats, Thomas kept asking why we had to hid the cowbell and why he couldn't have it. So, he kept asking the "event" people in matching shirts why he had to hide his cowbell. We couldn't get him to be quiet. Finally, John said that this is the only time we can make an exception to following the rules.



Caroline loved this little cutie. She followed her around.... a lot!












Don't you wish you could eat cookies all day.

1st soccer practice. Doesn't he look cute. I know his shirt says "Bimbo"....John got this real soccer jersey and short set when he was in Mexico a year ago. The shirt is a little tight and the shorts were even tighter so we couldn't wear them. Get ready for 4 on 4 blastball!!! I didn't get too many pictures because I was trying to chase Caroline. She was out in the middle of the field trying to practice as well or in the goal.











































Caroline LOVES shoes. She has to put them on first thing in the morning and cries when I take them off of her. If I don't keep the door closed to the mud room, this is what she would do all day.










We took a little vacation....without the children. It was the best ever!!













I am not a very good picture taker. This was our view off our balcony....so beautiful! I highly encourage taking a trip without the children and the place we went :) Good times
