Elmo, Football and Friends.........


Well, we have been so busy, I forgotten about keeping up with my blog, sorry. We are about half way through soccer season, McKenna improves each game and tries really hard. As for Chance he has a major obsession with Elmo, it is all he talks about, all he wants to watch and play with. McKenna liked Elmo, but we don't remember it being quite like this. Football season is in high gear and now that some college games are on Wednesday, we have football on from Wednesday through Monday, I get a bit of reprieve on Mondays and Tuesdays.

This past weekend I ventured into a whole new world. We went to Pete's Piano Bar for Crystal's 30th. For those of you that have never been it is quite an adventure to say the least. The people watching alone is SO worth the trip. From "brides to be" to birthday celebrations, you will see it all. I remember at one time during the night thinking to myself, "where in the world did these people come from?". You see it all at Pete's. It was fun, loud and smoky all at the same time....I always enjoy time with friends! We are looking forward to our Vegas trip next week.

Our Soccer Girl!!!


Well, we have ventured in to the world of soccer. Let me start off by saying we were pleasantly surprised. The team has only had 3 practices prior to our first game.....We won today 3 to 1. For those of you who have never watched a bunch of kindergarten girls run after a ball, it is quite a sight to see! McKenna tended to do a lot of "catching up" with the herd of girls running after the ball, however, she never stopped running. Some parents I will have to say take this very serious...Give me a break folks, they are 5!! It was a lot of fun and she was all smiles. Chance had fun during the game playing in a mountain of ice that a coach poured out right behind us. Who knew that ice could be so fun??? For the record he was stomping on it not eating it, for those of you thinking, "what kind of mother is she"? There are only 8 games this season and rumor has it we will then head into indoor soccer.....Am I really becoming a soccer mom???
