Fall Sports

Well, this past Saturday Zachary had his first soccer game. Unfortunately, due to the rain they had not even practiced, not once. How would he do at his first game? Well fortunately he had some of the kicking basics down, unfortunately his issues focusing came out. He did a great job running up and down the field with a big smile on his face (I think it was cute), unfortunately he was not always following the ball up and down the field. He did actually kick the ball a few times, of which he was very proud of himself and actually said "Mom I kicked the ball" right after he did it.

I'm not sure why the coach decided to do it, but every week practice is on a different night. If anyone knows my son he is very schedule oriented. We do things on certain days of the week. He is having a tough time getting it down that practice this week is on Tuesday when it was Thursday last week. I'm sure once practice comes around he will be ok.

It is cute to see Katie wanting to play soccer to. Boy does she look up to Zach. We got her her own Pink and Black ball that she likes to kick around. I'm sure that she will want to play once she turns 3. The other day when Zach was getting ready for his game, he put on his shin guards and pulled up his socks. Next thing I know Katie had her socks pulled up just like him:)

On Saturday night we did get to go to our last baseball game of the season. I was really looking forward to the Mercy Me concert. Well unfortunately we got there a little late but I knew I could catch the end of the concert. While we were walking up to the gates Mercy Me started playing "I Can Only Imagine" which has a special place in my heart. It is the song I would listen to at 3am in the morning when I was up feeding Zach after he was born. Unfortunately once we got inside the gates and Zachary realized we were changing course and not going to our baseball seats, the flood gates opened. He kept on crying throughout the rest of the concert. Oh well, at least I got to hear the song I really liked.

Labor Day Weekend

Well - we ended up having a great weekend. We got to go swimming at the pool with the slides - which is Zach's favorite. Plus we celebrated family Birthdays yesterday with a Luau at my sisters.

I think my favorite time of the weekend though was playing hide and seek with the kids. I can remember playing as a kid and always worrying that I wouldn't find anyone. Well with my kids that is not a problem. Not only do they tell you where they are going to hide they also make noise when you are a room away. Zachary really liked me hiding under the sheets on the bed and would tell me to go hide there when it was his turn to come find us. I did get an earful once though when Katie came to hide with me. It was cute to see her under the covers looking at me going "SHOOOSH". Then a few seconds later she would hear Zach coming and then pull the sheet off, sit up and scream. Zachary would then come and tickle us (he at least is getting gentler than he used to be) and the game would start over again. I will say that I did scare Zach once when I hid behind the door and jumped out and spooked him while he was looking for me. He ended up falling down, luckily not hurting himself:)
