Wye Mountain

Luke and I took the kids Sunday afternoon after church to Wye Mountain.  We knew we would not have time this week or the next to get Easter pictures.  We had the kids change in the car- Robert didn't get his black pants on, so we settled for jeans.  We got there just in time for the rain to stop, took some pictures and had a snack, then the rain started again!  It was a fun little photo shoot though. 

Robert's 1st Soccer Game

Robert had his first soccer game this past Saturday.  It was like old times being back on a soccer field.  It's amazing to be a parent on the soccer field now.  Robert did great playing.  He even got to play keeper- a position a really hated!  Coach Michael has done a great job teaching the boys how to pass and look around the field.  We're looking forward to more Saturday's on the field!  Go U9 Warriors!

ISI Recognition

Dad recently moved the office to a new location.  The guys wanted to surprise Dad with a party and plaques to honor this move.  I thought it was nice of the team to do.  We had Shotgun Dan's Pizza and a Salad to celebrate plus an amazing cake!  Congrats ISI  on the new office space! 

The Cat in the Hat Field Trip

Asia's 1st grade class went to see the Cat in the Hat at the Children's Theatre.  They had a picnic at Mills Park.  It was FREEZING outside that day.  Asia didn't seem a bit thrilled that I came along for the field trip.  She ignored me the entire time they were at the park.  I ended up sitting on a picnic table off to the side.  I was watching the other Mom's interact with their kids.  I ended up praying most of the park time.  The Lord did a cool thing though.  While I was on the verge of tears, he sent two Mom's to come and sit with me.  One declared herself an "older" Mom, and the other one was a Grandmother.  Both of them stayed with me until it was time to have lunch.  We had a fun time visiting. 

The Cat in the Hat play was good.  Asia seemed to enjoy it.  I enjoyed looking at the set and props.  After the show, the kids were able to ask questions about the play.  They learned what  trap door was and how magnets helped hold some of the props together.  It was a fun afternoon.  Asia did seem glad I came, although she didn't talk to me the whole day.  It was a let down and hard day for me!

Do you want to build a Snowman?

The kids really wanted to build a snowman this time.  The snow was a "dry" snow and made it difficult.  However, we decided to build a snowman lying down.  He's complete with a cone hat and carrot nose.  We have yet to name him, but after all the "Do you want to build a snowman?" I think we sang Frozen most of the day. It was a fun family day. 

Roberts 1st Soccer Practice

Robert had his first soccer practice on Saturday.  It was FREEZING outside, but he had a blast.  I had to show him how to put on all of his gear- brought back a ton of memories for me.  He has no clue how the game works, but he's pretty good with touching the ball.  I think he'll get the hang of it before too long.  Being out on the field after so many years sure brought back memories for me.  I hope Robert enjoys the game as much as our family did and still does.  We're looking forward to a good season with the Warrior team!
