Middle School Soccer

Earlier this week, Taylor's middle school team had a jamboree, where the three teams each played a twenty minute game against each other. Mc Knight won both games, and it wasn't even close in comparison of talent! Should be a good year!

This is right after Taylor scored a goal!

And So It Begins...

Our gorgeous son is already a handful, I am so not ready for girls!

Last week at the highschool football game, Bryant's good friend K was all huggy! They know each other from church, for three years now, and they are also at the same school for kindergarten. She is in another class and they meet up at recess to play!
Look at how Bryant is trying to hide in his shirt! Too funny! Sorry buddy, you are way to cute and the girls won't be able to resist you! haha!

Finally... braces!

Two and a half years after we started with the expander... the beginnings of a $6,000 mouth!
The reason it has taken so long... not wearing her headgear consistently! And with braces, she still has to wear them! If she doesn't, I get to listen to her Zune that day!

Director's Choice

Our lovely friend, Lomney, gave us tickets to the ballet! So last night my friend A. and her daughter picked Sydney and I up and we headed into the city! Pacific Northwest Ballet was doing a dress rehearsal, Director's Choice last night. We had so much fun and liked some acts better than others, but we had good company, many water breaks, gummy bears and skittles! After the second act we headed out for better seats. The photo below is in our first seats, not to bad, they were toward the back of the second tier before we moved...

and found these great seats! We had a box all to ourselves and we were all giggly about it! Finally we could see the facial expressions of the dancers!

At the end of the show the dancers all came out for their critiques and a bow. The dancers in sweats had covered themselves as they had super thin skin like outfits on which left nothing to the imagination!

PAPA

Last week our dear Papa turned 75 years old! Nana gave him a huge party with all of his friends and family, over 100 guests. She tried to have a garden party, but it rained all day long! So we stuffed 100+ people into their tiny rambler. Some people didn't even know there was food being served! What can I say about Papa... he is so kind, genuine, great conversationalist, generous, loving, interesting, a story teller, should be a winner on Jeopardy, and is our Papa! We love you Papa! This is what they looked like after the party was over and the guests had all left, they had gone down to their bedroom sitting room and we found them like this!

What if you didn't have...

Bryant and I were walking home from school today and he started playing a game called what if. It began with what if you didn't have fingers and went on to hands, penis, head and finally what if you didn't have a belly button? I said, "Hmmmmm, I don't know." He replied; "You wouldn't know when to stop the water in the tub!" Very clever, Bry! The "button" is the measurement in our home as to when he turns the bath water off.

Soccer Time

Soccer has officially started in our family once again! Taylor starts tomorrow and cuts will be on Friday... I will keep you posted on that one. Anyways, Bry had a huge soccer jamboree yesterday and they played two games in a row. He had so much fun, wearing a huge grin the whole time!
He will learn fundamentals soon, hopefully. Like keeping a foot on the ground when you throw the ball in bounds... The coaches are on the field right with the players the whole game teaching them as they play.

Half time smile!
