new frontiers...=]

Hey there! It's been a while. I update myspace then this one gets neglected...lol. Here's a new post Kristi...heehee. Life is good. Even better now that soccer is over. It's always fun to go to the games, but after a while and 3 players later you go insane with all the running around. Saturday was the 5 hour tournament and each boy had 2 games. Thankfully Paul and Michael were on the same team. Benjamin's were three blocks away so Grandpa got to sit in at his for the cheering section when games overlapped.

The other day the boys were playing soccer in the enclosed porch and Ben kicked a goal right through a window. Pretty funny. Thankfully it was only $35 to replace. He's working it off. Poor guy came running in to me with a completely freaked out face and told me he broke the window. There are days I really loathe disciplining my kids, but then I also think I'd better do something or they'll think it's okay behavior....i swear. I told him I really appreciated him telling me right away and being honest....a quality on the verge of extinction these days...lol.

Let's see....what else is new for us. Oh, I'm the new Primary singing leader at church. Yesterday was my first time and I felt it was extremely unorganized and we ran out of time. I swear.....I can't even imagine the day that it's easy to get up there and not be freaked out. Imagine I have to teach these kids the songs when I don't even know them. HAHAHAHAHA! At one point I was leading them in the second verse of some song and halfway through I reverted us to the ending of the first verse. It was a little humorous. A couple of the teachers in back were having quite a chuckle. =] One day..... lol

Michael's 8th birthday was yesterday. He's sure growing up. We came home from church and he was sort of bummed saying he really wanted a cake and I played along that there wasn't time to bake one since church was at 9am. Then after lunch I lit the candles on the cake I'd baked the night before and had hiding in the microwave so then when we started singing he was still bummed it was over ice-cream and his little face lit up like Christmas at seeing the cake. It was way cool. His expression was better than when he opened his presents. lol. Theron was always about the cake growing up too. Forget the presents, he always looked forward to mom baking a cake just for him. The slide show below has a few pics to go with everything we've had going on so far.
