Soccer 2013

Well I am back, for now. I have a REALLY hard time getting myself to sit down and blog.
I feel like my life is getting busier and busier I am literally becoming a "soccer mom"

Olivia played soccer last season but was not really that into it. It was more of a free for all, no structure, no goalie or other positions assigned and of course that one Hispanic kid who you know his family lives for the game so he was AMAZING. So naturally the coach was like sure hog the ball all 4 QUARTERS!
( Just so you don't think I am totally a beast, most of the moms on the team were as frustrated as me).
So hoping this year would be better I talked Olivia into trying it out one more year.

Well this was the year, an all girl team that had actual practices with drills and everything. Olivia soaked it in. She LOVED it! See Olivia is very much into structure and rules so when they apply she excels.
She is quite the little hustler and when she played forward she gave it her all chasing the ball back and forth until she was ready to drop. However her favorite positions were defender, when asked why her response, I get to rest when the ball is on the other side of the field. Haha (All Adam and I could do to hold a straight face)
And goalie she never gave a straight answer but I am almost positive it had to do with resting and she loves to dive to stop the ball.

Olivia is always amazing me at how well she picks up on things and seems to be good at whatever she does. She must take after Adam because this mama was never a athlete I was always the awkward string bean just trying to survive.

Olivia and her team 2013

I am so proud of my beautiful little monkey and am loving watching her grow and develop her talents.

10 months today and showing off

My baby is 10 months today! CRAZY!!

And to celebrate his 10 month mark he has decided to WALK!!

He has been playing around with walking for the last few weeks ,

taking one or two steps and then dropping and going back to crawling but this morning he decided to take it a few steps more and tonight this is what we got. (Sorry I know this video is sideways but I can't figure out how to flip the dang thing.) I think we owe this all to his cousin Evangeline in Georgia he saw a video of her walking and decided he could not be showed up by a girl ;)

pay no attention to the crazy girl at the end. I think she was just a little to excited.

That little boy of mine.

Teagan turned 3 in January and with it became a "true boy". When I say true boy I mean the boy who teases his siblings, loves trucks and trains more than anything, picks his nose and thinks farts are hilarious that kind of boy, all while being absolutely adorable. Lately Teagan has made it a point to tell us all when he farts "I farted...". Tonight we were sitting in the living room playing when I hear Teagan "pffffft" (with his mouth) and then very loudly "I farted...in my mouth" followed by insane giggling it was all Adam and I could do not to bust out laughing I love this little man so much! Not sure how to handle all this boy stuff after being used to my super girly girl Olivia. But the boys are kinda outnumbering the girls right now so bring on the oxygen masks! :)

Eveyone needs a laugh

My sister 1st introduced me to these videos they are so funny.

This one is my favorite right now. Check it out!

WARNING!!! YOU WILL LAUGH! Kids are so awesome.

4 months

My little man is 4 months. I can't believe how grown up he is already. He is so strong, he loves to sit up and is most happy in his bumbo or his little car.

stats: 13 pounds 27 percentile and 25 inches a 52 percentile so he is right on in length but kinda small in pounds.

Micah can roll from back to tummy and tummy to back I have a feeling he may be taking after his big brother and will be scooting around soon.

Sleeps 8-9 hours a night but demands to eat every 3 during the day.

Micah is seriously the happiest baby ever and really doesn't cry unless he needs something or Teagan is "loving" him a little to much. He gives the best smiles to anyone that looks his way and has mastered the cutest little giggle.

He brings the sweetest spirit to our home and we are so blessed to have our little man.

Sept 10th My little Apple Darling

Olivia was a Apple Darling and got to ride on the River Heights float. She was in absolute heaven and felt like a true princess. She was so funny during the parade waving and blowing kisses to everyone, lol she is such a ham.

That dang lump in my throat!!

Today Olivia started kindergarten. For weeks people have been asking if I thought I would cry. I immediately responded "HECK NO"!! Olivia was ready for kindergarten a year ago, we were beyond excited and ready. September 1st could not come fast enough for Olivia and me. Not because I wanted to get rid of her but because I knew she would love it.

Well this morning I got the knot in my stomach and a familiar lump in my throat, was I seriously about to cry? I had not even dropped her off yet. Oh crap I was doomed. I pushed it aside and continued to get Olivia ready. Then I took the picture above and about lost it again! She looked so grown up, in a flash the last 5 years flew through my head. When did my baby girl grow up into such a beautiful little lady? I tried to convince her to change her outfit into something..... I don't know more little girlish. No way!! She would not have it. So for the next few minutes I sat and watched her look in the mirror as she smoothed her skirt, adjusted her headband and smiled at her self. (she is very girly and going through a vain stage)
Then a quick picture of the 2 of us and it was off to school. She forced Teagan in a pic, he wasn't to thrilled hahaha

Outside her classroom, here I could see her getting a little nervous. And I was fighting like crazy to hold back that stupid lump in my throat that I knew would bring on the waterworks.

I quickly herded her into her classroom, her teacher was quick to give her a hug and welcome her. So I gave her a kiss told her I loved her and to have fun and got the heck out of there hoping I would not run into anyone I knew because I knew if I spoke the tears would flow. I managed to make it home without any tears. But I get close, even now thinking about how grown up she had gotten makes me want to bawl blah LAME!!! So now I realize moms don't cry because there kid is going to school they cry because there baby is all grown up DUH!! But I am so excited for her, she came home bursting with excitement telling me every detail. and as you can see Micah is really happy for her too.
