The Boat

Brian has wanted a boat forever. His dream of owning a boat came from his father and he has always said he would own a boat one day. Well...we are now owners of a bass boat! It is not his dream boat by any means but it is a good start! He has taken it out a couple of times and really likes it. The kids and I haven't gone on it yet but we do hope to get a trip in soon!

Soccer!

 

 The kids are playing soccer this season. Ty played three seasons of flag football and while he liked it okay he wasn't too excited to play it again. So, I decided to see if they liked soccer any better. So far they have enjoyed it and it is so fun to watch. I played since I was a little kid through high school and now I know why Brian had a hard time during flag football, you just want to go in and help them so much!

 Tyler's team is the Gators. Tyler has never played soccer before so I was a bit nervous when the coach put him in as goalie! However, Tyler did great and really enjoyed it. The coach told me after the game that Ty volunteered to play goalie! Wow!!! The Team does not practice goalie (especially with the huge goals they use in games) so we are going to have to buy some goals to work on if Ty wants to be goalie again.

 Keira's team is the Sharks. This is the first season Keira has played a team sport. I have always put her in dance but she really wanted to play soccer and we knew it was good for her. She is still learning the game and when she gets tired she wants to come out and sit but the coach is wonderful works with the kids keeping in mind they are four. Keira almost scored a goal at the end of the game. She was so bummed she didn't make the point. Brian and I think Keira is going to be our competitive one!

Ty is Star of the Week

Tyler is Star of the Week this week at school. He had to fill out this poster and bring it in with some favorite pictures (of Sea World and Dinosaur Museum) and one favorite toy (a thorny devil lizard).

The questions are:

My favorite color is orange
My favorite animal is a cheetah
My favorite food is pizza
He added a picture of himself and of the family
My favorite place to visit San Diego
I want to be a biologist when I grow up
My favorite thing to do is play
If I had one wish I would wish for a pet shark

Labor Day Camping

Labor Day weekend we headed up North for a 2 day camping trip! We really wanted to get out of the heat and since we didn't have a chance to camp during the summer we decided to use the last weekend of summer to get out of town. 

 

 Making wishing with dandelions.

 

 

 Hiking Kinder Crossing Trail which was a good hike! The kids found a baby horned lizard and lots of birds.

At the bottom of the trail there was a river the kids had to play in.

 

 

 

The kids are playing soccer this season. They are both very excited about it. We got a lot of practice in which was fun!





 Of course we had to have S'mores to end every night! Very Yummy!!!
