Soccer

Being a soccer mom is pretty fun. I love seeing the kids in their cute uniforms and the looks on their faces as they play, "am I doing what I should be doing?". Reid has made new friends and gained an idea of team work and disciplines. In the beginning of the season, he had trouble playing after he would fall...pride. :)
But he got over it and joined his team after about two games. I only wish I had video of when he ran to us crying from embarrassment in the middle of the game, or when he would just decide to leave the field while the game was on.
Mark and I are so proud of him. We look forward to next season and hopefully Vara will play, too.

Here are some of the team with Coach Cindy. It was really cold outside.



GO DRAGONFLIES!!!

New Post

This is a bit long, but dont worry, its mostly just pictures. I cant remeber too much of the past couple months..my brain seems to have left me. The pics are of course out of order, but you'll get the idea. Life is busy and wonderful! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
(TAG post below)

At the Pumpkin Patch





At the Botanical Gardens




Mark got his hair cut! Most people didnt recognize him at first.


We've been enjoying our fire pit outback..homemade by Mark! Beck would hang in the swing to keep away from the smoke. And, Im not sure why Reid and Var are dancing, but I thought it was pretty funny..




Pumpkin Carving and Halloween.
We went to a friends birthday and trick-or-treated with them after. I loved Austin's costume. Reid was a Knight--God's Might Warrror! or something. Var wanted to be a "cowboy-girl", but she ended up looking more like a pioneer woman.
Carving pumpkins was fun. The kids help clean them and then they drew their design before going to bed. Reid had a huge spider. Vara drew lines on Beck's and I did an owl on a branch for Vara's.







We spent every saturday morning at the soccer field. It was a blast. I think I have more pictures and footage I can post another time.



We were given a drumset! (Im actually happy about this) And, no, its not in our living room. We made the downstairs room into a music room. The kids enjoy it often.

Tag!
