Soccer Mom

Soccer is in full swing and Codey has pleaded with me to NOT turn into a soccer mom but it seems that I may not have much control over that. We have always been a baseball family up until now but the littles are living and loving the world-wide game of futball!  

They have all had their first games and they are loving it!

After Brogan's first tournament we went to Jump Sky High and the kiddos had a blast!  They didn't win but she played her heart out and had some awesome plays!

Christian and Rylen had their first games and both of them won. They were super excited and both scored multiple times!

The season is just now getting underway and we are living and loving life on the road!  (All except my gas bill!)

Science is fun

Everyone had a blast doing science experiments today!!!  I'll let you guess what they are experimenting :)

Barbarian lunch

This year in History we are studying the Middle Ages. We have been learning about the Roman Empire and how Barbarians tried to take over. Today our lunch was a Barbarian lunch and we even ate with our hands!

A New Year of AHG

This is Brogan's last year as an Explorer in American Heritage Girls. For the first meeting she volunteered to do the flag ceremony in the opening of the meeting. She loves this group!

Awana time

This little guy is not so little anymore (it seems like I keep saying that). He is now a Sparkie and he earned his 1st book and his Awana vest tonight!

He is so proud!!!

Back to school

We had our first official full day of school and it went pretty well. Everyone joyfully started their subjects and got somewhat back into the routine of it all. 

This year we are participating in a few fun Club activities with a local group. Rylen chose Lego club, Brogan is doing needle crafts, and Christian is doing Chess club. 

The kids are also trying out golf this year, everyone except Codey that is. They loved it today and did a pretty good job!

I think we are headed for a great school year :)

Astros Game

Jeremy requested an Astros game when he got home from work this time. They were playing the Rangers and he wanted to see them play. So, like a good little wifey, I made that happen :D and the battle was on...

With a family of 7 we usually get the cheap seats way up high but this time I splurged and got seats right at the bullpen. And when I say right at...

It was really neat and the kids loved watching them. All game Brogan, Christian and Rylen wanted to ask them for a ball but no one could work up the courage to ask. In the 8th inning the bullpen catcher was looking into the stands and Ry shouted "Can I have a ball?" And he couldn't hear and asked "What baby?" And Ry asked again. He threw Ry a ball!!

Rylen was do excited! And the others couldn't believe he asked all by himself. At the end of the game we threw it back down to him and he signed it. Ry was so excited! And Brogan and Christian thought he was cool, too!

It was fireworks night so of course the kids wanted to stay and we did. I think the older boys enjoyed it more than anyone else...

(By the way, Codey's mouth was wide open in amazement until he saw me wanting to take a picture!)

It was a fun family night, even if the Astros didn't win.
