Soccer Star!!

Camden's soccer season was a HUGE success!!! I can't believe that this was the same child that would hide under out chairs last season at the mere thought of going out on the field to play in a soccer game. Practices didn't go so well, but put that boy out on the field in competition and WOW... he is a different person. I have to admit, I had tears in my eyes when I watched him play. I never thought I would see my kid excel in sports... team sport, I guess I should say:)

My # 1 Fans!!

With the season coming to an end and only two games left, Camden has still not scored any goals. That second to last game, he got his first taste of victory by scoring a goal in the first quarter. I guess that first taste of success went along way because he scored another goal before 1/2 time. Here is a picture of my proud boys at halftime showing me how many goals he had scored. He even scored a third in the 4th quarter!!!!

The last game of the season came around!! I wish I could say I was at the game, but it was raining and in the lower 60's and Katelyn was sick, so Mark took him to the game and i stayed home. One of Camden's major sensory issues is his head getting wet... Soccer Game---- Outside---Raining!!!! I kinda felt sorry for Mark trying to get Camden there, but his team was depending on him!! He had a really hard time at first, but as soon as he saw the trophies in the coaches bag, he played like a rock star. He ended up scoring 7 goals that game!!!! I am so proud of my little soccer player!!!!

Easter 2010

Grandma, Nonna, and Uncle Ryan came over to do Easter eggs with us on! We had a really good time together and made some beautiful eggs!!

Easter Morning was very fun in our house this year! Both Camden and Katelyn were very excited when they saw all the Easter eggs all over the house. Katelyn put about 5 eggs in her basket before she realized they had candy in it and it was all over for her!! She stopped collecting eggs and just focused on opening those eggs and getting out the candy! Since Katelyn bailed out, Camden's basket was overflowing and there was no convincing him that he should share the candy with his sis. He got the eggs, that means it was his candy!! Eventually, he did give in and share. It just took a lot of convincing!!

It wasn't long before they saw their presents over by the fireplace. The Easter Bunny, Grandma, Aunt Cathy and mom and dad were very good to them this year. They LOVED opening all the fun Easter stuff!

Next we headed outside to try to get some pictures of the kids all dressed up, however, Camden didn't agree with the decision! All he wanted to do was stay inside and do nothing!! We had a busy day ahead of us and decided it wasn't worth the fight. Here are some funny pictures of Katelyn outside with her not-so-full Easter basket:)

We went to Easter brunch with the family and then off to Grandma and Grandpa's house!! Of coarse, Elmo had to make the trip too!! I love this picture!!

Snuggling with Aunt Nonna

Macy even had a Easter egg of her own filled with doggy treats!! She guarded it like her life depended on it!

Elmo

My friend had a consignment sale last weekend. I had intended to price some things myself and take, but Katelyn getting hand, foot, mouth sure put a damper on that plan!! I couldn't put her down for several days. I took Katelyn to see if we could find any cute summer dresses. Over on the table in the corner Katelyn saw this Elmo. I knew there was no way we were going to leave without it. She loves her Elmo!!!

Swing Set Fun

When we moved into our house in August, we ordered our new swing set for the backyard. By the time we got moved into our house and settled, it was getting cold outside, so we decided we would keep it boxed up in the garage until the spring. Mark ser aside a weekend to build the swing set, but it started pooring. Didn't stop the boys however, they built the swingset piece-by-piece in the garage until the weather was nice enough to put together outside!!! The kids love it!!!!

Glasses

Camden is so funny in his perceptions of things. He has a very difficult time understanding why Mark and I wear glasses, but he doesn't. He begged us for over two weeks to get a pair of glasses. He kept stealing my glasses out of my bathroom, so in order to make sure my glasses stayed in tact, I decided it was time to get him some glasses. It is hard to find glasses with doesn't have a prescription in them for children. I finally found these sunglasses looking glasses for really cheap. I promised him that if he took care of these glasses for 1 month, I would buy him a new pair of glasses that he could wear to school!!!

The really funny part to this story is that once he got them, he has been reading like the glasses are magic!!!! He used to want me to read everything to him, even though he is very capable of reading just about anything. Now, the boy is reading EVERYTHING!!! He loves reading to his sister every night:)

My Good Luck Charms

Here are my little cuttie pies on St. Patricks Day!!! All decked out in their GREEN!!!!!!

Spring Snow

The first day of spring brought with it almost a foot of snow. It was the perfect snow though...wet, sticky, and perfect to play in. Not to mention the weather the day after was in the 40's, perfect for playing in all the white stuff!!! What a great time we had!!!!

Invasion of the ants!!!

Finally, out Internet is back!! AT&T came today to install a new wireless transmitter! You will never guess what happened to the old one!!! A colony of ants invaded it and made their home inside it!!! About two weeks ago, we started getting ants REALLY, REALLY bad!! With all the rain and warm weather, they are looking for higher ground. I started cleaning the entire kitchen and house with vinegar to help get rid of them which has seemed to work, but I didn't realize I that by blocking off their path to our main floor they headed straight for my basement. I didn't make the connection at the time that our Internet was going on and off and eventually shut down completely. The wireless transmitter gives off heat so the ants were attracted to it!!! The guy said when he took the thing down, that thousands of ants came crawling out... GROSS!!!! Guess who I am calling on Tuesday... bug control to spray around my house!! I guess the vinegar is just not cutting it:( In the meantime, I have a lot of catching up to do on my blog!! So many things have happened in the past few weeks. I have a million pictures on my camera just waiting to be downloaded!!
