Lightning Bolts

April 13, 2016

The Lightning Bolts – that might be the new name of Spencer’s soccer team. He and I still vote for the Mighty Lions but we’ll see what the winner is next week! It was a good Sunday at the soccer field. Spencer loved the warmup part of soccer most – especially getting to play red light, green light!

Look at his face! He’s having a ball!

The yellow team had plenty of sibling helpers around…

Spencer was showing off his skills during practice…

and having fun with his new teammates.

It was then time for the game and he had some great moves out on the field. He hustled after the ball and played hard!

He then got bumped on the head and ultimately decided he’d rather play off to the side with Maxwell and the other siblings. We’re working on understanding that you can’t just bail in the middle of your game to go do something else!  🙂 As Coach Robert said, “he did better than last game and that’s all we can ask!” Exactly. This game was an improvement over the last one and I’m proud of him for getting out there!

What made this game even more special? We had the best cheerleader on the sidelines!

We love soccer even more when GJ gets to come! yay!

Go Mighty Lion Lightning Bolts!

BBQ

April 12, 2016

Robert’s company participated in a BBQ competition on Saturday of last week. He was out there all day serving bbq but thankfully didn’t have to spend the night out there Friday night cooking it! I took the troops up there for a bit during the day to check it all out. Much to the boys delight, they still had some doughnuts left from that morning!

I think they had a lot of fun. Baby was entertaining everyone by dancing to the music! ha!

Maxwell even ate some pulled pork and liked it! #miracle.

The event was in the parking lot of Cahaba Brewing and we wandered inside for a bit to play a quick game of skee-ball. That takes me back to the old Showbiz days! ha!

A pretty Saturday with some good BBQ. Can’t beat it!

T-ball

April 11, 2016

We had a T-ball game on a beautiful, sunny, and slightly chilly Saturday morning.

This one was baseball ready…

This one loved playing in – and getting lost it! – the trees…

This one sat still for the one second it took to take this picture…

Around here

April 8, 2016

Unfortunately, the bug my parents had last week spread into our house a bit too. Robert and Spencer were hit hardest.

Samantha had a brief (yet gross!) bit of it.

I never really got sick but didn’t feel really great either. Maxwell is the only one that seemed to escape unscathed…knock on wood!

I’m hoping we all stay healthy this weekend! We’ve got t-ball, soccer, and a party at school on Monday! no time to be sick!

T-ball practice on Monday was just about perfect. Blue skies, puffy clouds, sun shining.
