Soccer










Soccer has begun. Which makes me realize that I never posted pictures of Baseball season. I'll have to back track.
This year Peyton is on the Dragons. He loves his uniform, he has the highest number (9) and is the tallest on the team. Its safe to say he thinks he's a big shot. He scored the first goal of the game and got player of the week. Although he has some tiny kids on his team they have some pretty fancy footwork and are great little soccer players. Peyton's also the only kid that doesn't speak Spanish and since the coach doesn't speak English its pretty interesting watching them communicate. Mark has also been able to come watch the games. We feel so lucky that he has a job that is 3 minutes from the soccer field and his boss lets him leave to come watch the games. He also texts Mark during the game to see how Peyton is doing. This job feels like a big family and has made our lives so normal again. It's a good feeling. I think it's going to be a great season.

Drew B-day Continued....




We also celebrated Drew's birthday at school with her classmates. The teacher makes her a crown, the kids bring gifts, they sing to her and once it's all done she sings a thank you song back. Very cute. I had lunch with her and handed out cupcakes and goody bags. A pretty easy party if you ask me.

Drew Turns 4


Drew is 4! I can't believe it. I have no idea where the last 4 years have gone. I realize I say that each time one of the kids have a birthday but, wow, time really does fly when you have kids. We spent her actual birthday at Disneyland. She was so excited by her birthday button, all the happy birthday wishes she was receiving, her special dessert at lunch and most of all, the fact that she is tall enough to ride all but 2 rides. She was fearless on Splash Mountain and loved Big Thunder Mountain. Her favorite is still Pirates of the Caribbean and the Carousol. She's for sure a brave little girl.
She wore her glow in the dark ears and got to meet Jafar from Aladdin, the witch from Snow White, Goofy and of course Mickey. Uncle Jesse even popped in for a few hours to say hi. It was such a perfect day with very short lines, good weather and 2 excited kids that were so eager to see everything that there weren't any meltdowns.
