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.

soccer season

Having 3 boys playing soccer is always crazy. It would be tooooooo easy to have them all on the same team. Yesterday we went to Benjamin's soccer game over in Burlington and found out he was 20 minutes late for it. So he jumped into the game then Paul and Michael (who are thankfully on the same team) were on the opposite end of the field warming up for their game that was getting ready to start. It was a little crazy since I ended up watching both games from the playground with Madelynne somewhere near the middle of the field....lol. It was fun though. Theron was home to come with us and cheer them on. Benjamin's game got over in the middle of Paul and Michael's so he volunteered to sub-in for another team that was short players....holy hannah.....three hours later and we finally headed for home. Benjamin is HUGELY into soccer. He asked me the other day if he could play in high school or the olympics. I say the sky's the limit....go for it. lol. I finally got batteries for my camera and took a bunch at the games yesterday then this morning I couldn't find the cable to download them to the computer....sigh. It'll turn up. I'm sure if I follow Jacob and see where he stashes the goods after he's crawled off with them then I'll hit the jackpot. lol. so till then.....hasta =]
