GOAL!

It's SOCCER time!!!!!  GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!

It is soccer season!  We now have THREE little ones old enough for soccer and since we don't get to choose the practice night, we are at the field EVERY DAY except Sunday.  Not one practice overlapped with each other.  SOO, we are getting VERY acquainted with the soccer fields.  Luckily, there is a park there to let the other kids play.  

I LOVE watching my kids play soccer.  I get a bit (a lot) crazy.  They are all having fun and enjoying their time which is great!  

Here are a few pictures that I have taken.  I'm sure there will be more to come.  :) 

First day of SCHOOL!

SCHOOL has begun!! :)  I had 2 very excited (only slightly nervous) kids this morning!! :)  J is going into 4th and Log is hittin' 2nd grade!  They both came home happy and excited about all the new things. I think it will be a great year!!! :)

New Family pics! :)

Here's a look at our family in 2012!!  Aren't we lookin' good! 

 I would like to say that I didn't have to crop any screaming heads out of this picture this time.  This is very momentous for us!! :)  Our little family is growing up.  It's been so fun to be able to take everyone places and have everyone be able to participate and enjoy without one of us feeding a baby or chasing a toddler.  I feel that we are starting to enter another phase in life.  I think it might take us another couple of years to REALLY be apart of that next phase, but I feel the entering coming.  :)  It's sort of a weird feeling.  I've had a baby for so long in my life and now everyone is potty trained, eats real food, drinks from a real cup, and can talk (if they choose) to explain what they need or what hurts.  :)  I've enjoyed my little ones although super hard.  But I'm really looking forward to this next stage of life! :)

Random, Random, Random

These were cupcakes that I made the kids on their last day of school!!!  :)  They thought they were pretty fun!

 Logan always finds some unconventional way of playing! :)  He's kind of like his dad in that regard! :)

 Z gives the BEST faces!! LOL

 Playin' at the park!!!

 Our awesome neighbors gave us a gift certificate to graters.  :)  YUMMY summer treat! 

 We have REALLY loved feeding the ducks this summer!

 Camping with cousins!!!  Yee-ha

 Kids Bowl Free!!  Too bad we've only been once!! LOL

 We spent SOOO much time at the pool this summer.  We got a little creative in entertaining ourselves while we waited for siblings to finish swimming!! :)

Z and Meg are taking swim lessons now!!  They are doing sooo GREAT!  Z is in level 3 already and Meg is in level 2!!  Woot, woot! :)

posing?????  Getting ready for swim to start!

Getting ready to ride the Vortex at KI with Shi! :)

 I refinished my kitchen table.... I only had to sand it down twice!! LOL

 Meg has been a BUSY girl lately!  She has been getting into a lot of things!!

She found the hairspray and PLASTERED her hair one day!! Nice look, eh?

 This was the worst.  She drew all over the walls, carpet, bedding, clothing, herself, the blinds.  Nice naptime work! :)  Arrg.  :)  I asked her who they were on the wall and she said, herself, Lo, Z, 

 AND this was J.... Flying down the hallway! :)

 Everyone loves a good stick on our walks through the park!

 Especially when the stick is 4 times your body length! :)

Well, that about sums up our random pictures for the summer! :)  I can't believe school starts next week!  I think the kids are ready, but I do enjoy having them home with me! :)   :)  Now it's all the fun back to school things--meeting teachers, touring new schools, school supply shopping, etc.  I just love new crayons and pencils in the fall!  Weird, huh?

Palmer Olympics!!!!

We don't just watch the olypmics, we ARE the olympics!!! LOL  We had a fun day today.  We raced in the pool (I totally got my hiney handed to me!!)  We triple jumped, long jumped, sprinted, ETC!!  Yep we have some great little olympians!  :)

Meg showing me her muscles!!

This is right before Log cut D off.  That's his trick to win!  LOL

Sometimes being an olympian is sooooo hard!

LOOOONG jump!

LOOOOOOOONG Jump!!

Long jump??  or jump over the stick! :)
