Soccer game!

Here are a bunch of pictures of the boys' first soccer game of this season, also their only game so far..we have been rained out twice! They are so excited to play again tomorrow! Jared, #8, has possession of the ball, and scores during the first play of the game.

Brandon, #4, in defender position, protecting the goal.

Jared kicking the ball, keeping it in bounds.

Jared scores again!

Brandon's ball! Go Brandon!!!

Brandon, the powerhouse!

He shoots, he...almost scores!

Jared in goal, he didn't get the opportunity to block any shots at all.

Taking a moment to smile for mom!

Summer fun...oh wait, it's still WINTER!

Can you believe that it was warm enough one week after a snow day to actually play in the sprinklers? Blogger wouldn't let me post them earlier, but these were taken last Monday. The kids had a blast playing out in the water and I can't wait to play this summer! The water was freezing, but nobody seemed to care!

Jared and Brandon chasing each other...as usual!

Amazingly, all 3 stood still for a moment!

Cuties! Bran bolted before I got my camera back out!

Lauryn LOVES bubbles!!

Especially when big brother is blowing them for her!

YAY! Look how red her face is..it was SO HOT!

Silly Brandon!

Blowing bubbles!!

What is that???

What is that giant dark spot in my little boy's smile??? His first lost tooth!! Brandon has been anxiously awaiting this day for a very long time, and tonight, he asked his daddy to finish the job and pull it out.

You can even see the new tooth poking through! Shark boy! That tooth had been loose for a few weeks and now finally is out.

He is sooo proud!


His prized possession!

And, on another unrelated note, Lauryn has chosen today to be the day that she learned how to get out of her crib, all by herself, instead of napping. I put her down for her nap, heard her fussing, then she stopped...phew she's alseep...but wait, what's that... knocking at her door! UGH.

Lauryn's first haircut!

I did it...I gave Lauryn her first haircut! I only trimmed her bangs, so it wasn't all that bad, but poor thing could barely see through her little wispy strands. Greg and I distracted her by running the water in the bathroom sink and as she watched it, I snipped away! We were done in about 2 minutes and saved myself $20 by not taking her to that fancy kid place!

Isn't she sweet???

Snow and Sun!

Yikes, here are the pictures from our last snow! I've been trying to load these on blogger for a week, and I finally got them on, loading one at a time! Anyhow, here you see Lauryn and the boys outside in the snow in our yard. This is the first time for Lauryn!

Brandon is ready to play!

Jared in the snow, looking cute as ever!

Jared

Lauryn trying to figure out where the grass went!

What's this?

Snow angels for Jared!

Playing football in the snow, just like the pros do!

Now who would have guessed that literally 3 days later, we'd be out in short sleeved shirts, shorts/capris and all the snow is long gone....

Bran on his scooter!

Jared, not so interested in being photographed...

Always time for a goldfish snack!

Little Ms., sporting her new spring wardrobe!

Brandon giving Greg bunny ears!

Playing in the backyard....she can do the rock wall all by herself now (she's 20 mos old).

Swinging with brother Brandon

Loving the swing!!
