Orange Tigers

This little peanut is so funny. She was the only one to score out of my kids this year. She was so happy! Her little face was priceless I wish I had been able to take a picture of it. She was on the same team as her cousin Whitney and she thought that was really fun. They were the orange tigers. She really liked soccer except for towards the end she had gotten another UTI so her tummy was hurting really bad. Poor kiddo!

The Sharks

This was the 1rst year I could tell my older 2 kiddos didn't enjoy soccer like they had in the past. Rodney got hit in the nose with the ball and had a bloody nose. Matt and I were running around like chickens with our heads cut off. 2 different fields and 3 schedules was pretty stressful. I was at a game with the boys and Matt was with the girls he came to get Mason and I had the bright idea to lift him over a fence instead of having to leave Rodney. So as I almost had Mason over the fence his boot swung back and hit me in the face. I cried so bad. It was so embarrassing  Anyway, Rodney did good at soccer he just wants to do Basketball and thats it!

The Lady Bugs

This was the first year that Karlee was on an all girls team. They were the Lady Bugs. They lost every game! She was really sad. Then there last game got changed to a much sooner date and she had gotten fake nails on and wanted to be the goalie. They scored on her 3 times. I asked her why she wanted to be the goalie when she had her fake nails on and so it would be hard for her to stop the ball. She said that she hadn't gotten to be it this year and since this was the last game she wanted to. She said she was terrible and cried. :(  There were a bunch of girls that were sad they hadn't won 1 game and I told them well you guys may not be super athletic but you are really cute and they said, "Ya we are!" It was so funny!

I had a talk with K when we got home. I explained to her that she is already so good at acting, modeling, art,  public speaking, being a great sister, getting good grades, and dance. It wouldn't be fair for her to be good at everything. She laughed and said the sweetest thing to me. She said, "Mom thank you for taking the time to talk to me and explain it, it really means a lot to me." and she told me she loved me and wanted this to be her last year doing soccer and get back into dance. :)

My baby brother!

I haven't seen my baby brother in 5 years! 5 years!!! That is a long time. He has been in the air force and has been in England. While he was there he met Charlotte and they got married and had baby Gabe. This was also the first time we got to meet Gabe. He is such a wonderful happy little baby. It was so fun to hang out with them over the weekend. My kids loved meeting there cousin too. I told Joel and Char that Gabe was going to be so lonely after getting mauled this weekend. :)

Funny kids

I loved looking out my window and seeing my boys sitting on the rocks talking to each other. Mason is really growing up and its fun to see the boys hanging out more and more. 

Well Mason got his shoes on and said he was ready to go outside. Hahahaha buddy your missing something!

Masons bangs are getting so long I put a pony in his hair so he could see to eat his food. This is the look I got.

But then he realized he could see :)

Mason is so fun! He is growing up so so fast. It breaks my heart. I feel like he was a baby the shortest. He wants so bad to be doing what the bigger kids are doing. I love that silly crazy boy. He sure makes me laugh.

My girls get there nails done

Em's hand

Karlee's hand

I love that my girls are so girlie. They both wanted to get fake nails at Walmart for church. They were $6 so they were pretty excited to buy them with there own money. Plus this was there first time having long nails. Karlee still has hers on but Ems nails are so small or she is too busy that hers all fell off after 2 days. :)

Rodney is 7!

My sweet boy wanted to have a pirate ship cake. When he told me what cake he wanted I said, "A what?" Worried I may not be able to pull this one off. He said, "Mom you are cake boss, you can do it." I love that he has so much faith in me. We however almost had a ship wreck. I wanted the ship to be big but didn't think about transporting it to the other cake. It was breaking in half so the frosting is not perfect but luckily I was able to save it and I was happy with how it turned out.

Rodney is such an Amazing boy. He is so kind and sweet. I love him so much. He has the best heart. He is a wonderful son. I am so lucky to be his mother. He had really wanted a razor scooter since Karlee had gotten one for her birthday so that is what he got. :) Happy Birthday Rodney. We love you so much!

My little peanut is growing up!

Lulu just lost another tooth! My baby girl is growing up so fast! I love that when it came out she said, "Daddy is going to freak out." I love her so much. I cant believe she is starting school this year!
