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?

Registered! What Have I done?

I'm just home from the gym. My legs are shaky, my shirt is sweaty, and my muscles are loose. Saturday, I biked almost 30 miles on a hill before getting off the hill and finishing up at 35 miles. This morning I went for a nice 70 minute jog. (Legs are not HAPPY!) Last night before going to bed I registered for "Little Red." Paid my non-refundable registration fee. Needless to say I'm what you would called, "FREAKED!" Holy Cow what have I gotten myself into, a 100 mile bike ride.  Do you know that this ride will actually take me out of one state into another and back. Does that sound insane? Who gets up and says hey lets ride our bikes to that state over there and back? I think I have officially lost my mind. How does one know for sure if they have lost there mind? Short of registering for a 100 mile bike ride. Do you know people do these all the time? They do them for fun! Maybe that is the definition of insane. Well what is done is done and I have 16 weeks...

Ask "the SwimMom" Holiday Edition

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...

Come and Gone

Christmas has come and gone the final hours of 2010 has began. I'm sure that I have a 2010 reflection post in me somewhere. But! Our 2010 is ending with family, friends and the baptism of my baby. It is so hard to type that sentence even harder to believe that we are baptizing our last little one. So the end of this year is going to come and go without a reflection post. I have chili to cook and family to visit and.... I did want to share with you a quick look at our Christmas We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma's house. At 80 years old she keeps the party rocking and we enjoy the time we get to visit with everyone. (A quick picture before we left. I try to get this picture every year on Christmas Eve.) Melting snowman was our little Christmas Eve joke since all of our Christmas snow had melted. (The stockings after Santa's Visit) This year we enjoyed a brown Christmas. The snowflakes all disappeared and the hopes of a White Christmas were in vain. ...
