SOCCER TIME

C started soccer practice last week and had her 2nd practice tonight and she is doing AWESOME!!! I am so proud of her. This is her first organized sport and really....first any sport. She has such a sweet spirit and I love that about her, but that is not the competitive edge her daddy tells me she needs to have on the field. Dax is very competitive and I "play to have fun"...therefore Dax always offers me up to the other team when we go out bowling. HA!

Tonight C scored a goal and all while a team mate, a tall one I might add,was neck and neck with her. She got right in there and wasn't afraid of the ball or getting kicked....all while keeping her sweet spirit and great sportsmanship... I think this is my prayer for her life. I want her face this life with no fear and experience it with a smile and with the Godly spirit and compassion he has rooted in her. I think we are going to like soccer :)

C's Field trip to Nasa

Last Tuesday C's class when on a field trip to NASA. They are studying space right now and we are in the process of creating an asteroid belt (3D) for C's project due this Monday. I followed behind the bus to Houston for the field trip and the kids were awesome. It was a great day and I am so happy that I am able to experience these field trips with C. Plus she loves having me along and I although I hope that never changes.....I will take every moment right now.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Today is one of my fav "little" holidays. I am very Irish and my favorite color is green....well there you go :)

So that means.....dressing the girls in their green {{Camden just gets a hair bow, but hey...no pinching going on here}} and anywhere else I can fit in some green.

I threw together these cute little goodies for the girls teachers. I saw this on another blog....can't recall which one.....but how cute? Fast and easy.

They read~ YOU'RE MY POT O' GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW.....Some rainbow twizzlers and gold coins in a bag and a cute print out for the top....LOVE IT!

And for the girls lunches..... I picked up these cute tins..tied some "green" ribbon....okay, pink too, but just because I love green and pink together and to keep it girly.....


And then filled it with all things green....


There are bologna sandwiches with "green" mayo and cut into the shape of a clover...cucumbers slices to be dipped in the "green" ranch dressing, green grapes, green skittles and a Capri Sun with some green felt around it.

And....because we love a good laugh around here...I hid some jokes through out the lunch that were St. Patrick's Day related.

LOVE these....I also love Laffy taffy jokes..so bare with me:)

Here are the answers....

The girls are doing wonderful and already are in love with their brother. They pray for him each night at bedtime and never miss a chance to hug and kiss on my belly. I love how much a part of our family he already is.

Dax brought home some wild flowers he picked on the side of the road the other night. They made me giddy! They were absolutely beautiful and it reminded me of what an awesome man I married. (Check out the water bottle vase...love him)

I LOVE THESE THREE!

Ballet for B

B's First Day of Preschool

Today B started Pre K 3. She is still at Wesley (where her MDO was last year), but now she is down the "big girl" hallway. She has been so excited for this day since sissy started 3 weeks ago and she has been hanging with momma all by herself. She picked out her outfit for today and of course had to have her new "twinkle toes" to wear as well.
When we arrived @ school Be headed right back into her routine. She found her cubby, and put her Dora back pack up. Then she was off to find her seat "The one with a B" She sat right down and started into her play dough. Then I got a big smile and "Love you Momma, be careful".

It is so nice to have a place where she feels comfortable and safe and has no problem with you leaving her. And yet it is so sad too! So easily she says See ya later Momma. I pray that she has a fabulous day and enjoys her time with her friends.

What's for dinner Wednesday?

Well, we are taking it easy tonight. Grilled cheese and some "ketchup" soup. My girls always lick their bowl clean. In our house I can get the girls to eat just about anything with some ketchup on it :) I make it with milk instead of water. Makes it that much creamier and healthy too!

{Can be found in any local grocery store with the label "Tomato" soup, but Ketchup sounds so much more fun!}

Week One down.....

Camden started 2nd grade on Wednesday the 18th, but this last week was her first full week in school. One thing that I love about Camden's small private school is that the first day of school isn't that scary these days. It's like a mini reunion. It's great. She loves her new teacher, Mrs. Rowe. I'm pretty sure she stole her heart when they had a test and it was on Amelia Bedelia. Camden thought that was just AWESOME and thought it was even neater when she found out that Mrs. Rowe read these books when she was in 2nd grade! GET OUT! Needless to say, Camden is loving 2nd grade. Camden's favorite subject is math and she LOVES to read.


Berkleigh does not start school (MDO) for another week and it is killing her...no seriously, I am quoting Berkleigh...it's killing her! We have her Open house this Tuesday night and she is stoked!
Week Two..Here we come!
