Samantha's last soccer game of 2011

Alex's birthday party

Happy Birthday Alex!

Alex opened all of his presents this morning from mom and dad and grandma and grandpa. He was such a happy kid ALL morning long! He loved getting phone calls from Grammy and Grampy and Aunts and cousins and we put together some of his Legos. He played and sang and was the happiest I've seen him for a LONG time. It was awesome! In fact, after I found the legs of one of his Lego dudes he started chanting, "Kristi Rocks, Kristi Rocks!". Smart kid! Tonight we are going to the Mayan for his birthday dinner and tomorrow afternoon is his friend party. It should be a lot of fun.
Alex, I think you are the cutest, smartest, sweetest, funniest little dude I've ever met! I'm so happy you were born 6 years ago and that you were ALL MINE from day 1! Love you man!

Samantha soccer 2011

Andy was asked to be a line-judge-flag-holder-dude for a game. As you can tell, it was fascinating.

Big smiles!

Intense goalie!

Cute girl, and silly boy falling off a chair in the back.

I think Samantha has enjoyed soccer this year. It's been fun to see them learn offense and defense and play like a sorta-kinda real team instead of just a huddle of kids. Samantha loves to be goalie and she's a fast little runner. I just wish her attention span lasted more than 5 minutes!
