Have you missed me?

It's time to catch up on some of the awesome things we've been up to the past few months. I spent most of the summer super tired and lacking energy, so my blog just had to fall to the bottom of the list. Then I found out I've been anemic, which explains a lot. Iron pills and fortified cereals are helping a lot with that so I'm ready to tackle this monster. I have TONS of pictures to share. I hope I can find them all!

So travel back in time with me if you will.....to spring time.

Soccer time. 

Sydney does not enjoy soccer and had no desire to sign up this year. Fine by me.

 But Ethan was now old enough, and seemed eager to try it. So we signed him up. 

He HATED it.....

We tried coaxing and positive reinforcement and finally resorted to bribery. His last game was his best because I told him I'd buy him an Indiana Jones hat if he scored a goal. Cute little guy came SO CLOSE to scoring, that I ended up getting him the hat. 

But we didn't sign him up for Fall soccer.

Next we have the lemonade stand. Made a few bucks and then blew
 it all on slurpees and candy from Maverick.

Ethan wanted to sell something, too. Unfortunately nobody was interested in 

tortilla chips and chocolate milk powder. He sure was cute, though. 

Sydney tried her hand at tennis this summer and LOVED it. They had a free one hour clinic at the Sports Academy, and we also signed her up for lessons for a few weeks at the park across the street from our house.

For a couple of parents who never played sports, we sure have signed our kids up for a lot of stuff.
Too bad we can't give them any pointers.

So next we have t-ball and softball.

Sydney and Ethan both LOVED their t-ball and softball.
And they were both pretty good, too! Don't know where they get their skills from, tho.

And of course, we did swimming lessons.

That takes us through June, I think. Unless I find more pictures. For now it's time for bed.

More next time...
