Soccer time is here again!

Brandon and Emily are playing soccer this spring and they both had their first game last Saturday.  Emily's team totally got creamed but they had a lot of fun so they didn't really care.  Those U6 games are so fun to watch!  The cute little guys don't have a clue what they're doing.  Brandon's team did really well.  It's fun to see how much he has improved since he first started. 
They ended up having their practices land on different days so we are at the soccer fields 5 days a week, which can be kind of a pain in the backside!  Katie doesn't mind too much because she gets to play at the park every time since their fields are the closest ones to the park.  I am looking forward to the end of school so I'll have a little bit of time to get things done.   
Douglas ended up being the assistant coach for Brandon's team because the coach was going to be out of town for a whole week and nobody else would help out.  I think it's good for him, even if he does grumble and complain occasionally (but he's a Walpole man and they grumble and complain about EVERYTHING).
Anyways, here's some pics that I took of their first games!  YAY!

I don't think she was fully awake when the game started...

Go Emmy, Go!

Katie found a little seashell at the park that became her new treasure.

At least they got a good workout!

Brandon's game

I think this was when they took it all the way across the field and scored.

Still holding onto her seashell...

Why, yes, I believe he is doing ballet in the middle of a soccer game???

Team huddle with dad :)

Happy Anniversary to us!

It's hard to believe that Douglas and I got married 9 years ago today!  Where does all the time go?  I must admit that every day hasn't been bliss but we have found joy in this journey that we are on together.  It's nice to know that someone has your back everyday no matter what and no matter what happens they will ALWAYS love you forever and ever!  I love you Douglas! 

Having a little fun in the snow!

It was nice to see a little bit of snow this last week, especially because it didn't stick around for very long.  The girls had fun playing in the backyard while it was snowing.  I couldn't get them to stop eating the snow, but at least they were happy.  On Saturday morning we went out to the farm and pulled the kids behind the 4-wheeler on a sled.  (Of course mom regulates the speed so dad doesn't get carried away and go way too fast)
