Soccer Game!

Christopher had his second soccer game this morning. They did pretty good, but lost 4 to 1. Christopher's team made their one goal right at the end of the game. It was too bad they lost, but they played a good game. Christopher really enjoys playing soccer. Every year he is getting better at playing and fighting for the ball. Good job in the game Christopher.

Taylor in Cheer Uniform!

The First Game!

So I am hoping that everyone knows what happened to Taylor the day before school. If not, here is the short version. She was invited onto the High School Cheer Team. It has been very busy since that most important phone call. She has been learning and practicing about 65 cheers so that she could cheer at the first game. Taylor had 2 weeks to learn those cheers. Last night was the High Schools first home game. Taylor's first game to cheer at. I went to the game with my dad. It was fun to watch Taylor cheer and to watch how excited she was to be there. It is a proud moment to see one of you children, who has worked so hard to achieve, to actually achieve that goal. And watch her to work just as hard and with the same momentum that she did when she was trying to reach the goal. She did a fantastic job at the game. I never thought that we would have a cheerleader in the home.

We also had Christopher's first soccer game. His dad went to that game. Christopher loves to play soccer and football. We missed the football sign ups, but made th soccer ones this year. He has really improved in his soccer skills. His dad said that he really did a good job. He also has a very good coach this year. He teaches those kids to play in their positions and to stay in those positions and not be all over the field. I think that is a plus. They are being taught the right way. Needless to say we only have one camera, and video player wasn't charge, so we didn't get pictures of Christopher's soccer game. By the way, he won. The score was 4 to 1.

Catch up on our lives!!!

Well as everyone knows school has started. What a busy time of year. I took my kid out school shopping about three days before school started. Yeah we are usually done by then, but I we have been very busy this summer.

After we got done with the shopping, we have our traditional fashion show. The kids get to try on their school clothes, and make up different outfits with them. Then decide which outfit they would like to wear to school. My son always says that he doesn't want to do the fashion show, but he seems to enjoy doing it.

Then there was school. I had to work grave, so I missed them going to school, and my husband forgot to take those wonderful first day of school pictures. I am sorry that I missed there first day of school. But there will be plenty more to come. So these pictures are of the fashion show.
