Shawn's Birthday BBQ #1

We had a fun BBQ with cousins for Shawn and Uncle Ryan's Birthdays (Round 1)

Thomas, Marin, Ellee, Sophia, Parker & Jackson

The oldest is 4 and the youngest is 12 months-Oh what fun!

What is it about kids and Birthdays? They get so excited no matter whose it is. Why don't we as adults keep that same enthusiasm? Seriously, I made their day with a cupcake!

Happy Birthday Daddy-O!

OH....WOW!

Happy 31st Birthday Shawn!

Abbie and Ed's Wedding

Our friends, Abbie and Ed got married this weekend! Abbie told us we couldn't come if we didn't bring our kids....is she crazy!?

So we brought our dear little ones.

During the ceremony, Jackson kept saying, "Where is Abbie? I want to see Abbie." As well as, "Stop talking Mom, shhh!" (I wasn't the one talking, well only to tell him shhh!)

Abbie and Ellee

Our Family!

This was right before Ellee grabbed my wine and spilled it all over herself and me. Thank goodness it wasn't red!

1st Soccer Game

The Fire Dragons first game. Jackson is #6

I guess you would have thought by this picture that Jackson played a good game...he did, all the 2 total minutes he played out of 45!

The rest were spent.....

.....Yep....at the drinking fountain!

He must have been REALLY thirsty!

Jackson's Lingo

Right after Shawn put Jackson down for bed tonight Jackson got up and yelled down the stairs to me, "Mommy, where's my Woody and Buzz?" Did they really have to be named that? Of course I giggled all the way up the stairs to find them though! Good thing I know what he's talking about.

He likes sleeping with them this week.

1st Soccer Practice

I think I am officially a "Soccer Mom" now! (no mini-van though)

This was Jackson's first and only practice before his games begin. He had alot of fun. He had to stand in a line and wait for his turn to try to kick the ball in the goal. He finally got the hang of waiting in line and waiting his turn towards the end. He kept going to the front of the line for more turns. I was on the side yelling, "whose kid is that anyways?"

While practicing, anytime he kicked the ball he would run over to me and say, "I did it, I kicked the ball way, way high!" I would then have to remind him to go get back in line to practice. The games are going to be interesting!

Good form!

Waiting his turn!

Jackson's Coach

Scrimmage (AKA: Chase the ball)

He even got to be the goalie for awhile. Shawn and I worked with him and told him you can't use your hands in soccer....oops! He was a quick learner and even had a couple saves!

The Firedragons

Ellee's 4 Teeth

My friend Lindsey told me I had to blog about this...It is pretty funny. Ellee has 4 teeth now.

Yah!!!!

I bet you won't be able to guess which ones.

If you can't tell by the picture she is MISSING her two front middle teeth! Cute Ellee!
