The Happenings

It's been a while since my last post. We have had a lot going on but nothing so major that I felt I needed to write it down. Then I got to thinking that no matter how mundane and boring our life might be, some day I am going to want to be able to go back and read about all of the little things so here it is, this is what we have done the last two weeks or so.

Tyler's little brother Jordan was back in town for a few day's doing some more soccer scouting. He was able to spend quite a bit of time with us which is always fun. And of course my kids have a blast with him. It's always sad to have him leave.

The end of the school semester came and went. Both kids got an excellent review. They both received all 3's (3 being the highest) except Shay did get a 2 in listening and following instructions. She is a very social girl. She takes after her Dad. I can't be upset with that!

We are still going to soccer games every Saturday morning. Britton has become the highest scorer on the team. He gets anywhere between three and five goals a game. He is making a ton of money off of his Grandpa Turner. They have a deal where the first goal is 5 bucks and every goal after that is a dollar. I don't think that deal would have been made had Grandpa known how well he was going to do.

We usually try to do a movie night with the kids once a week. This week we decided to let the kids watch a scary movie. Tyler and I love scary movies so of course we have to break the kids in. We decided Goonies would be a good start. Apparently we both forgot how much swearing is in the movie, it was nothing my kids haven't heard before but I was kind of shocked anyway. I told the kids to just ignore it like they always do. Some parts of the movie kind of scared them but at the end they saw how un-scary it really is and they loved it. I couldn't believe they sat through the whole movie and never even moved. I love having movie nights with the kids. I am going to make sure we always do it....until they refuse to spend weekend nights with their parents that is.

SuPeR bOwL pArTy! My parents came over to watch the super bowl with us. They came over a couple of hours early so we could do Wii-lympics as we like to call it. We have competitions to see who is the best archer, bowler, ice skater and curler. Curling is my Dad's favorite, he and my Mom won Tyler and I so now we have to have a rematch.....I think they cheated.

My Grandma is always crocheting a blanket for someone. She does beautiful work and I love all the blankets that she has given to me and my kids over the years. The last time she was in town she taught my Mom how to crochet a blanket and when I saw that my Mom was successful I thought it might be fun for me to give it a try. So after some instruction from my Mom here is what I ended up with.

There are a ton of mistakes in it but I don't think its to bad for my first try and I loved that it kept me busy while sitting at Shayna's ballet lessons. I even made some new friends. While sitting at ballet working on my blanket some women started talking to me about it and we started our own little knitting/crocheting club....I must be getting old. I guess I better decide what I want to do next so I won't be left out sitting at ballet next Friday.

And last but not least my 9 year anniversary is coming up. Time sure fly's when your having fun!
