Soccer Mom

Adam started soccer and he loves it! I didn't ever think I would be a mom of a soccer player, but since Adam loves to run and there's a ball involved, this is just the sport for him. And in addition to that, Ryan played soccer in his younger years and is now Adam's team assistant coach. It is so fun to see these five and six-year-old's play soccer, most of them for the first time. They get so excited if they kick the ball and you can image the pure joy it brings them when they score a goal...even if it is the other teams goal.

In being a mom of a soccer player, I thought I would try to make home made, wheat bread by myself. I was very proud that I had done it and that the bread got eaten up! Hooray for me...this is huge for me since I don't really know how to cook!!

Happy Birthday

Ryan celebrated another birthday! :)
The kids were thrilled to have a birthday for Ryan. Adam wanted to do a surprise party, so we put balloons in our bedroom and Adam made Dinosaur tracks that led up to the room. When Ryan got home from work, he followed the tracks and when he opened the bedroom door we all jumped out and yelled, "Happy Birthday Dad, Surprise!" (All Adam's idea and he was very specific on how he wanted to do it.) Sometimes you get a little help on blowing out the candles, whether you want the help or not. :)
Happy Birthday, babe! I love you!
