Soccer!!!!

Soccer games started last Saturday and this top picture was the only one I got of the first game. I was totally ready to take some great pics of Dawson's first sporting game and he only did the warm up and cried and complained the entire game. Most of the conversation between the two of us was negotiation of what I can give or take away from him to get him out on the field. Well he got a week of no XBOX.
Today went totally better! He play and cooperated the entire game. He got to play goally first and he did an excellent job - the other team tried but no goal for them!
They were at the other side of the field most of the time, so he had good time just hanging out!
He counted each and every time he kicked the ball. He would kick and then hold the amount on his fingers up in the air - he was very proud of himself and I was very proud of him. I really enjoyed watching him. (he is the #10 white jersey)
Here are the cheerleaders - even though they were off playing somewhere together. Almost all of Madison's friends play soccer, she never wanted to play and I am glad about that - she does a great job playing basketball!

Creativity!

This is a gingerbread man that Dawson made at school - he let me know that he did not want to eat it.



This was a birthday cake that Maddy made at her activity days - I am very proud of her and she also was very excited to show me her work.



I have been busy this month with getting used to the back to school schedule and my church calling. I was in charge of a "Super Friday" craft night on the 11th. A night filled with crafts and chatting with women. I would put pictures of the crafts but some of them are Christmas presents to family members! The night went well and I am very glad that it is over!

Rock Concert!

O.K. Jeremy was out of town and this picture was a bet. There were a lot of interesting folk at the Poison and Def Lepard concert. And yes it is a wig and Jeremy totally needs one!
My sister came up for the concert, she wouldn't miss a rock concert for anything. My big hair 80's Rock friends - Enochka and Marissa.
Me and the baby rocking out!
It was a great concert!

Jessi is 3! or 21 in dog years.

We had a little party for the joy in our lives - Jessi! (her birthday is September 1st) It was difficult getting a picture of her - she wasn't cooperating very well, I think she thought it was weird that we put her on the counter top and was feeding her human food.
She is eating her Birthday cookie here - the kids think she is smiling for the camera.
This was a different day. Everytime Jeremy goes out of town there is always a few things that happen to me while he is gone - Jackson got a 24 hour flu and well Jessi had a mud bath.
