Happy Easter!

Soccer Season

Well, the season has begun. S and E had their first games last Saturday. And in case you can't tell from the pictures, they are both quite serious!! S was quite excited about the goal he scored. We didn't bother to tell him it was in his own goal. He informed us that we owe him a box of Legos for the goal. Neither D nor I remember making that deal! E played goalie and made some great saves. The last one cost her a knee in the side of the head. It left a nice bruise where her glasses were imbedded in her head! She got up and threw the ball back into play just before the game ended. Then she grabbed her head and cried. Poor thing! Her whole face was red on that side, but she's tough and finished the game before she ever reacted. Way to go, E!
K started volleyball practice this week (which I somehow got roped into helping coach), but won't have a game until after spring break. The high light of my week was getting my piano tuned this morning. The tuner said S should start taking lessons. I'm thinking I need to add one more activity to my life. I think my in-laws are going to have to move back in!

Birthday Boy

I can't believe my baby is 5! He would say that he is not a baby, but he will always be my baby! Happy Birthday, S!!!

All Together

Last Friday we went skiing at Winter Park. S has done so well with his skiing that he got to ski with the me and the girls. He was so excited and so very proud of himself!! His sisters were proud of him, too. D bought him a special harness with a handle on the back so I can yank him out of the snow when he falls. When we get on the lift, he does a big jump as the seat hits the back of his legs and hops right on. His main goal is still to see how fast he can get to the bottom. In fact, we accidentally took him on a blue run (twice) and he did great!! Yes, it was the same run, and, yes, we went the wrong way twice. I'm just glad there weren't any black runs over there! He loved the big hill at the bottom because D was sitting in the lodge and could see him come down. The best part of the whole day was the last time we came down that hill. The ski train was just pulling out and the whistle caught his attention. He went nuts and started yelling and asking if I saw it. Next thing I know he is flat on his back, sliding down the hill head first, and still looking at the train and yelling for me to look! He went half way down the hill like that because he wouldn't pay attention to me long enough to get up! He finally did get up, but kept on talking about the train all the way to the bottom! I guess we need to ride the ski train soon!!

Welcome to Our World!

We are enjoying all of the snow pics you guys are sending us. I don't care how much you hate snow, you can't tell me it's not beautiful (unless you are driving in it)!! My kids get excited every time it snows, and I myself will never tire of it. We would just like to know what, exactly, you Texans are shoveling all of this snow with? It's not like they sell a lot of snow shovels down there! Well, they probably will tomorrow! Have fun with it!!
