Finally....an update

Thanks to my sister Carrie, I am back from the blogging deceased.
Here is a brief run down:
- Spring Soccer began again. Back to life of shuttling kids to practice twice a week. And games (in the cold) every Saturday. I thought this was supposed to be SPRING soccer. No thank you wind.
-We had a little MIRACLE yesterday. Kaden scored his first goal! There had been a few really close calls but it finally happened. We were elated. Kaden chose McDonald's as his Prize Winning Treat for such a feat. Later we found out that it was only so that he could get the "Littlest Pet Shop" toy which conveniently was a little kitty with a pacifier. He has had it with him ever since, regretably.

- The boys just finished a basketball clinic that was held every Saturday for a month or so. Starting from scratch was quite comical to watch but by the end, they both were occasionally (and probably accidentally) scoring a basket.

-Brandt was more concerned about winning the race when they were doing warm ups and drills. This often entailed crossing over into other people's "lanes" running right in front of them and giggling as he peered behind at them. So much for the actual skill development. But they liked it although it was a little lengthy.

- Kaden shows his skills. If you had seen him the first day, you would know that he truly did come a long way. Seems we need to step up the athletic training in our home.

-Mostly he liked to stand there shy and timid in an aggressive defensive stance - such as this below.

Enjoy the sideways 1 second video clip. I'm pretty much a professional videographer.

-Here is Kaden and Ashlee (my good friend Becky's little girl). Yep, she is a year younger and a foot taller. My poor son with Beus genes.

-Brad and Macey. Yes, that is Brad. Unfortunately, he has grown out his hair. This is pictured before he began making his trips to the Salons. Ya, he has graduated from me as his live-in barber to an expensive hair salon with complimentary drinks. All I can say is that it has finally grown on me. It actually looks good now that a professional has "shaped" and "styled" it. He'll love that I am sharing this with everyone. (Now, I am sure he will cut it once he finds out it no longer drives me crazy.) Whatever.

-Macey loves to walk around. She still demands most or all of our attention. She has started jabbering and sometimes will mimic the voice emodulations (that word brought back memories an old SNL clip -ha! Anyway...) of how we say "I love you." Basically a born genius - we're sure. I did discover that we need to take more pictures of her and she may be falling in to third child syndrome.

-I had a nasty sinus cold last week which has remained with me, thankfully. This brings about lots of nose blowing, a beautiful thing. Brad caught it days later. Needless to say, we did a lot of laying and moaning around here.

Here's to getting back in to blogging! We'll see....
