ORANGE TIGERS SPRING 2009Soccer season is upon us again. Bailey's team stayed together from last fall. Her coaches have really invested some time in effort in this team. It has payed off this year too. They have been playing really well and have won most of their games. It has been fun to watch them really start to learn the game. Bailey really enjoys it.
For Bailey's reading time last week, I agreed to let her read to Ellie. Ellie had gotten a new book about going to Kindergarten when she went to registration. It was so one of those moments that made me pause and just be so happy I was their mom. They weren't fighting, they were just snuggling together after bath time reading together. It also killed two birds with one stone, Ellie needed to read some stories to earn a pizza coupon at school and Bailey has to read every night. Hopefully I can get them to do it again and it will go just as smoothly.
We moved some bushes in our yard last week. Logan was wanting to help pretty bad. He LOVED the dirt and of course the water. He got caught in the sprinkles a few times, hence is wet shirt on the drive way behind him, he ate A LOT of dirt, hence the dirt all over him, and he cried and cried when he had to go inside. I think I know where we will be spending a lot of time this summer. I am happy to have the bushes moved I have been wanting to do it for a while. We did break a sprinkler while doing it, but everything turned out fine. Of course a huge thank you is needed to all of our neighbors for letting us use all of their stuff and helping with the sprinkler and watching Logan while we worked. Its so nice to have such great people always so willing to help you out. What a blessing.
Logan has really started turning meal time into mess fest. But it is pretty funny to watch him. He did put that cheese on his head by himself. He also loved smearing the oatmeal all over his face. Maybe it will help out his skin issues. Gotta love those blue eyes~
I can't believe he is almost a year old. He is 11 months in these pictures. Where did the time go? He loves eating those baby Cheetos, which Ellie informs me every time that they are not as good as real Cheetos. I tell her to quit eating them off his tray then. Maybe she will start listening.
Ryan went fishing last weekend at his grandparents cabin. He had a good time. It had been quite a while since he had been. They caught a few nothing he good keep but it was still fun. I am sure he will be going back again. My sisters came up to hang out. It was nice to not be hear alone and the kids always love having their cousins come. Logan and Jackson hung out watching Baby Einstein. The girls and Drew loved riding bikes and playing outside. The girls also love to get Drew into some of their dress ups and have a show. He is a good sport and always looks very handsome in the dance outfits :) I would post a photo but I think Dean would hurt me, so leave it to your imagination. Ryan is going out of town again this weekend, anyone want to come have a girls weekend?
