soccer fun



Yesterday we had our first big day of soccer. Samantha and Trey had their first games of the season. It was a beautiful morning, nice and cool to start with a nice breeze. Sam did a great job, she worked hard to keep up with the older girls and this was her first time playing on a full field. We were so proud of course, she had an assist and I really think she was proving herself to her new team :)
Then Trey's game came upon us right in the middle of the day, pretty hot, and we were not to sure what would happen. Then our shy boy rocked the soccer field with 5 goals and some pretty intense falls. It was awesome. We know that this season will be chalk full of funny and proud moments, but there is nothing like that first Saturday. The anticipation from the kids and from us...Plus the extra bonus of moving here and have BOTH sets of grandparents along for the ride. Here's to an adventurous season!!!!

The weekend and more...


This weekend Jim and I along with his brother and wife and mom and dad went to Colorado Springs for a good friends wedding. We had a great time with a couple of hang ups here and there (missing our flight!). Since the bros were in the wedding, my sis-in-law and I basically had a date weekend. So fun!
Now school has started and we are off and running, activities, driving like crazy, but also some free time and a feeling that we have settled a bit and the kids are enjoying their new school. I am so thankful and proud.
