Sunday Funday

As I mentioned Friday, Samantha is playing soccer. Both boys are playing fall baseball. All of their games are on Sunday. At three different locations. Often at overlapping times. Goodness gracious! Last Sunday these three were ready to play…

This time I didn’t get to see Maxwell’s game and Robert didn’t get to see Spencer’s game but, with the help of GJ, we made it work!

All worth it for these three to get to do what they love!

When we got to the field we got our jerseys – red. She was really wanting to be purple but, oh well!

The boys finally got a taste of what it’s like to be the sibling spectator!! ha!

Samantha was knocking it out during the warmup and practice!

I can’t say she was knocking it out during the game. All the kids were a little gun shy when it came to kicking the ball during the game! ha! But, she made it through with NO tears! woohoo! Of course, everyone’s just in it for the snacks afterward…

Proud of our little soccer star!

Birthday!

Wishing the happiest of happy birthdays to the best around today. She’s the one that always figures out how to get things done, she’s always there for the important – and not so important – events, and she puts up with a LOT from all of us but still loves us no matter what. We are the luckiest to have her…especially these 3…

Happy as a pig in mud

Apparently it’s not only pigs that are happy in mud! We’ve been doing a big backyard project and one weekend there was a huge pile of dirt in the backyard. The kids wanted to play on it and I knew things were going to get dirty!

Yep. I told the kids they had to hose themselves off before going inside. Rookie mistake. They hosed themselves off alright – and hosed the dirt pile too!!

The dirt pile quickly became a mud slide and they thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Maxwell quickly bailed – he doesn’t like to get that dirty! But Spencer and Samantha were rolling around in it! They were having too much fun for me to care. It was hilarious!!

I have to admit – it looked pretty fun. I kinda wanted to hop in there too! ha! Nothing more fun than getting dirty!!
