I'm a Soccer Mom!


All of my life I have dreamed of the moment my children hit the field of dreams...a soccer field was not really what I expected. I have to say though, that soccer has been so much fun this year! Molly Kate is having a blast and has actually gotten pretty good if a mom can say so herself! I am relieved to see some promise of athletic ability pouring forth even if she does require PINK cleats and pink soccer balls! We are part of Trussville United Soccer Club and her team, dubbed Red Thunder by MK herself, has done really well! They enjoy the games themselves, but the "snack mom" and the "tunnel," made by all of the fans holding their hands in the air for the teams to run through after the game is over, seem to be the most fun. Here are a few pics for you to enjoy while I catch up on the next chapter of Soccer for Dummies.

She's TWO!




Anna turned 2 on March 28th and we had a Sesame Street "Cake Party!" As much as I wanted to get a Cookie Monster cookie cake to go with the theme, Anna kept talking about her "Cake Party" so I gave in and ordered a cake instead. Eric, Molly Kate and I had fun coloring Sesame Street pictures for decorations and the Sesame Street signs that I made were a big hit! The family came over to our backyard for the bash and Anna had a ball! She loved every minute of it and was a very gracious (hence the meaning of her name) little birthday girl. I think she made us all feel loved and I know that she knows we all love her dearly as well.
