Soccer and Sleepovers

More catching up from fall, which brought Grant’s first season of soccer.  Although he was adamantly opposed to the idea prior to the first practice, he actually grew to like it fairly quickly.  He played almost exclusively on the more aggressive side of the 3 v 3 field and if I remember right, scored in every game.  Almost as much as he liked to score, he liked to push, so we have a few things to work on, but overall we are so pleased to see him in the sport I have grown to love.  Kyle liked helping out before the game when he could and although it took some adjustment his role as a spectator and not the star of the show.  He continued to play with his team from previous season, making this I think his 7th with many of the same boys.  Ryan tagged along as usual and was very proud to attend his first sleepover with the boys and Pipa Smith and Grandma Deb’s house.  He was so excited (as shown in the pic) to pack his bag and climb up into the big SUV.  As we packed, we would ask if he wanted something and he would say “Yes, put it in the bag”.  So vocal, it makes me wonder what the other two were thinking about at his age but just not saying.

Back To School Pics

I think I covered back to school in my previous post about of all things Christmas cards (which I actually did because I Shutterfly was giving away 50 free cards if you blogged about their cards, but after I did it, I decided the rest of the hoops weren’t worth jumping through), at least it got me back to blogging, which I really miss, again this sounds so clichĂ©, but it seems like time is slipping away from me as the boys get bigger.  Case in point the green back pack.  This almost broke my heart, we were at Target at probably late July and they were putting out backpacks and I told Kyle, “Oh, let’s go pick one out so you have all of them to pick from and you can get one you really like.  He was game, but came back not with Spiderman or Star Wars, but this plain green one, apparently to big for a character back pack.  Speaking of heart break, is the pic of Ryan waving goodbye to the school bus not the most precious thing ever?
