Our Little Artist

 Someone has discovered Crayons!  He LOVES his crayons!  He was "coloring" before and after his nap.

Love It!

Cross Country Meet

 This race was only between two of the 5 elementary schools....  The kids raced by grade.  Boys and girls together.  

 She did great!  She came in 5th at this meet

Stretch!!!

Happy Camper

Just another Saturday

We started out in the morning with Brandon's game

 By afternoon, we had made it across town to Cassidy's game.  

Busy, Busy, Busy!

You may have noticed that the blog keeps getting further and further behind.  I have been working on it nightly when I can find a few minutes to sit down and go through pictures and I am hoping to get it caught up by next week.  :)  Right now the kids' schedules are keeping me hopping!  We have soccer 5 days a week, 4 practices and double games on Saturdays.  Cassidy is doing cross country twice a week and also taking a Hip Hop Dance class once a week.  Mornings are filled with appointments, grocery shopping, errands, and sometimes Ethan even gets to take a nap in his crib while I try to tackle the endless household chores.  Our afternoons/evenings are dedicated to going, going, going.  We do manage to squeeze dinner in there somewhere and someday I will have to dedicate myself to all the down and dirty deep cleaning around the house that I have managed to avoid for far too long!  As for now, we are going and doing and having a good time despite our hectic schedule!

Go Cassidy, Go!

Ethan is a cute little soccer fan

Look Who Finally Decided to Walk!

 Yes, he clapped and cheered for himself every couple of steps and expected us to do the same.

Spokane Fair 2011

Cassidy's very first stop, the face painting booth, of course!

Then it was on to pick up honey sticks

This girl is a flipping fool!

Seriously considering investing in one of these for the pool!

Thinking these would also be handy additions to the house!

Hedgehog!

Rides, Rides and more Rides!

of course, someone couldn't quite make it

Pend Oreille Cup 2011 Day 2

 Game 3 - Thunder vs Castlegar

 Started off a rough with a lot of bad calls

 the boys lost their focus 

this game was a loss for them 0-4

Pend Oreille Cup 2011

Game 1 - Thunder vs Strikers

 They played a great game and won over Sandpoint 5-3

 We had a couple hours between games, so the kids and I hit the beach for a little lunch and fun in the sand.  

 Game 2- Thunder vs Sting

One of the nicest things about the team is that 6 of the 9 boys have younger siblings, all of whom are 6 to 7 yrs old.  There is always someone for Cassidy to play with!

Brandon and Gavin, ready for the game

This was an awesome game!  The boys played HARD and it was an intense game 'til the very end. 

Final score 2 - 3
