{Friends}

I just thought this picture was too precious not to share!  These three are so cute together!  They are in school two days a week together and they are all playing on the same soccer team.  They were born within two months of each other and all the parents have been friends forever!

Abbie, Hayes and Jae resting during their soccer game.

How precious are those three! 

{Score!}

Hayes has had a very successful soccer season.  We are already looking at some Academy's and special training programs for him this spring.  They say he might be able to try out for Classic soccer next year if he keeps up this success, the scouts are really positive and encouraging.


I kid, I kid. He has had some stellar goals the past few games one of which I caught on camera. Yay for me! I was actually using the thing which I lug around for the purpose in which it is intended! Brace yourself, picture overload...

Hayes has the ball...he has dribbled out in front of the pack of 3 year olds...

 He makes it down to the goal.  He SHOOTS....

 And SCORES! (and immediately turns to see the crowds reaction)

 Beaming from ear to ear as he hears the roar from the crowd, his friend Jae rushes to catch up with him to give him some props...

 "Sweet Goal," Jae says, "give me a high five"....

 Alright! Well Done!

 (wait for it, wait for it)....

YEAH!

 Let's go do that again!

I mean at least that's my interpretation.  How stinkin' cute are those two! I love those kids!

{Last Summer Swim with our Friends}

This post is long overdue, but I just uploaded my pictures from the end of August to today and these pics were just too sweet not to share!

We have been busy this past week and I know it is no excuse because I promised to update more frequently so here are a few posts of what we have been up to lately!

Our kids are so blessed to have the best friends and some of those sweet friends are kids of some of our oldest and best friends.  We got together with the Nimmos, Schuermanns, and Treases at the end of the summer for a swim night and the kids had the best time!  All of the Fathers have been friends for 20+ years and the Mommies have been friends for 15+ years too so it's such a blessing to see our kids together!

Parker, Abbie, Jae, Hayes, Ellie, Joel, and Cole 

(missing is Tucker who was sleeping in his carrier and Kaiya who will be here in a few short months and Caleb who was still in his mommy's tummy)

These are the sweetest friends!  We can't wait for Kaiya to get here and for Tucker and Caleb to be swimming around next summer!
