Soccer and Braces

Once again Soccer Saturday is upon us.  After a week off due to Labor Day weekend we were up and going this morning.  Three of the kids had games at 11, 12, and 12 and all three were in different cities.  The closest being about 5 minutes away the farthest being about 30 minutes away. Oh what joys! 

Brent and I paper, rock, scissored and then Henry told us who was going where.  So Brent took the boy's whose games were close by to their games and I took Sam.  Check out the below photo.  Sam's team was in black this week.  I much prefer this uniform over the bumble bee uniform but the girls complain about being hot. As they say, "WHATEVER!" Sam's is the middle with her hair pulled up.  AMAZING!  She made this awesome pass over to the girl on her wing.  It was a pretty fun game and the girls are starting to play amazing together.  They are an awesome team.  I'm not just saying that because as of today they are still undefeated.  Nope not me because I don't keep track of stuff like that, remember. 



Brent said the boys did good at their games.  He had to leave Henry and Alex at Henry's game in order to get Andrew to his game on time.  Alex says that Henry's team scored a bunch of goals and the other team only scored once.  She said it was sad to watch.  I'm sure there is a little Alex drama in that sentence but I wasn't there so I can't say for sure.  Andrew says there team tied. Since you all know how forth coming Andrew and Brent are with the details that is all your getting. 

In news totally unrelated to soccer and soccer Saturday.  Sam found out yesterday that in five weeks she gets to bid a fond farewell to her braces.  She was so excited that she danced around the orthodontist office.  All the while Andrew was being told that it would be ages before they would even discuss his braces coming off.  Poor Kid! It didn't help that they are still trying to make room in his mouth for his teeth coming in and it HURTS a lot. But they are looking good so that is something. 

Well we are off to a baptism for a friend of Alex's hope you are having an awesome Saturday and only 6 more weeks of Soccer Saturday left.

Hooray for braces coming off! Sam is a lucky, lucky girl.

How early did your little ones start seeing the orthodontist? Gordon's teeth are so crowded they look like a mosh pit at an Offspring concert... and those are his baby teeth. He has absolutely no room for adult teeth to come in.

Happy Monday. Did you stock up on bon bons and fun books?

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Fantasy Land

The writer of this blog is currently in fantasy land. Meaning there will be no post as she is to busy pretending that she is on the sunny, care free, warm beaches of Hawaii. Apparently she is also under the delusion she looks smoking hot in a bikini and can currently (in the world of fantasy) be found on the beaches of Oahu sporting a bikini top and a grass skirt. Further evidence of how deeply she has entered fantasy land includes some very cute natives making sure her umbrella drinks are full and sunblock applied. The only thing she would like to mention to those of you still dealing with the real world and the endless hours of kids and summer vacation. "The water here is perfect and the sunsets are to die for please feel free to join me."

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
