Soccer Game!

Summer played soccer this fall. She loved it! She did really well and both her and Connor want to play this spring. Here are some pics...
This was our first time playing with "Upward". I so impressed! They had memory verses and devotions during half time...rules for the parents and the plan of salvation laid out every single game though a reward system for the kids. It was very well done!

We would bring along a ball for Connor and Chloe

She loves these glasses...I am not sure why

Looks like they had to be separated... :)

Warming up before the game

Next year, buddy!

Something must have been really interesting on the other side of the fence

Devotions and prayer during half-time

Look at her go!!

Pumpkin Patch!

Birthday at the Rain Forest

Summer's pick for a "birthday party" this year was the Rain Forest Cafe. We met family there on her 4th birthday and she had this yummy chocolate dessert that has had her talking about it ever since. So we arranged to meet family there again to celebrate...

The moving animals inside left my brave kids wide eyed...

Two of Summer's favorite people...The beloved cake...

After our very long lunch, we had some fun around Downtown Disney...After Downtown Disney, we made an evening trip to Sea World. I was way too exhausted to get any good pics, but it was a great end to a big day.

Changing Mr. Potato Head

Our "Littlest Mommy" has been caught diapering many things: baby dolls, stuffed pigs, herself. However, I think this holds the record for the funniest...

Big Little Brother

Over the summer, I would often wake up to this sight in the morning...

I finally asked Connor why they both were always on the same couch, he replied, "Summer gets scared and comes and gets me to hold her hand."

ME: "And you do it?"

CONNOR: "Yes. Don't worry, she goes back to sleep fast."

Such a big, little brother. :)

Messy

Or as Chloe put it when she saw these pictures, "Ewwww!"

I thought that was bad enough...then I pulled her away from the table...

Tired

Birthday Lunch at Grandma's

FYI: Grandpa really wasn't sleeping...

Birthday ride in the golf cart...

As they were pulling away I hear Summer say, "Grandpa, do you know golf carts are sometimes used for golfing? If you listen carefully you can hear 'golf' in the word 'GOLF cart'." :)

We made birthday cupcakes...

I love Connor's face in this one... :)

Our big 6 year old!

Off to Josh's house...

We left Grandma and Grandpa's house in time for a birthday dinner at Moe's (Summer's pick). Then we headed to Target to buy school supplies for TWO kids! It was a big day! But the celebrating wasn't over yet...
