My brother and his family came for the weekend so see the kids play soccer. It is a fun tradition they try to do every year! It was a beautiful day for soccer and a picnic. We always have lots of fun when our cousins come to visit!

Meanwhile...

Indoor Soccer

Maddox and Ava played indoor soccer this year. It was really fun. I can see why it is the busiest sport of the year! Don't worry, Ava never actually played with her flip-flops!

Anniversary Soccer

Today is Brent and my 12th wedding anniversary. Yup, 12 years. That's crazy! Brent made me breakfast in bed. This man has come a long way. I love his determination! We then headed to the kids' soccer game. Our anniversary celebration is coming soon! I can't wait.

This picture cracks me up. They look so tough! It's almost as if Ava is saying, "Bring it!" Funny kids.

Soccer

Uncle Joel and Aunt Kate came to visit so they could watch the kiddos play soccer. Of course Ava didn't feel well. She did end up playing in the second half. 

Soccer mom...and I LOVE it!

Yes, we are still alive. It has been crazy around here for, well, for as long as I can remember at this point. I am behind on a lot of stuff, especially blogging. One of these days I will get caught up on blogging our summer. I will. But for now, I am going to have to take it one day at a time. The kiddos had their first soccer games on Saturday. It was so much fun to watch them. Ava's team was hilariously clueless and Maddox's team was surprisingly improved. We shall see how the rest of the season unfolds.

my kid's first soccer game ever.

I never thought that watching a bunch of 5-6 year olds play socer would be so much fun. Today was Maddox's first soccer game. It was so much fun. He played goalie in the first half and forward in the second. He stopped lots of shots and even scored his team's first goal!

Volvo driving soccer mom

Okay, so I don't have a Volvo, but we did almost buy one when Maddox was born. Does that count? Now, we spend our money on diapers, clothes and soccer shoes, so we don't have the money for one! Oh, did I mention food, too. Yeah, that's a big one. I have two growing boys who eat A LOT!

I'm a proud momma of a soccer player. I love it. It is so much fun to watch him play and he loves it too.
