Now that BOTH of JK's football teams and Molly's soccer team have played their last games for the season, we've finally got a little time to breath. Lillie is still participating in both hip-hop and ballet, but both practices are on Mondays so we can handle that without feeling like we're running around like chickens with our heads cut off.
Both JK's middle school and rec team had great seasons. His middle school team took 2nd place, loosing only once. And his rec team took 4th. Out of 17 teams, we were all pretty happy with that. He continues to grow stronger and learn more every season and still really truly loves the game. While he got a little bit of a chance to try out a few positions other then quarter back this season, it's definitely been determined by his coaches that, that will be his position. So it's off to a few camps during the off season to grow and learn just a little bit more.
(I wasn't very good about getting pictures of the kids in action this year. I think this sad collage is proof of that.)
Molly's team also had a great season. They played in a new league with a little more competition, but they still did great. I am always so impressed with the way our sweet little, quiet (well quiet around people that aren't family) girl can come alive out on a soccer field. She's quick, aggressive and smart. She's got great ball control and seems to have a good sense as to where the ball is going to be. She really has some star potential!
Lillie is love, love, loving kindergarten! While we're still not completely certain that our decision to enroll her this year was the right one, she seems to be. She's making lots of new friends and learning tons. She adores her teacher and begs for me to let her ride the kindergarten bus home from school, which I ocassionally do. She is sweet and sassy and growing up much faster then I'd like. Oh and if this isn't the cutest kindergarten picture ever taken...
I am so not a fan of school pictures and never buy them, so I didn't put much thought into the fact she was wearing the same outfit as she did on the first day of school when I sent her off to picture day. Then what do you know, they send a proof sheet home with this adorable little shot on it. As soon as Clint saw it, he insisted we buy a sheet. I mean seriously when did school pictures get so fancy?!
Well, we celebrated Halloween with our annual trip to Spooners pumpkin patch. The girls dressed up and had lots of fun trick or treating while Clint, JK and I followed along possibly snacking on some of their goodies.
Clint and JK had fun playing in our little family and friend annual turkey bowl while the girls and I visited and cheered the players on before enjoying a delicious Thanksgiving feast with family.
Molly and Lillie mailed their lists to Santa and talked dad into buying them a ginger bread house kit, which they happily made and snacked on.
Oh and this sweet boy of ours made the decision to be baptized. I am so extremely proud of the path he is choosing to walk out and I know God has great things in store for him.
Just seeing these photos and knowing that he chose this. He chose to be baptized and to make the statement that he chooses God for his life, in front of his friends and family makes my heart happy. I couldn't think of a better way to welcome in his teen years. I am so extremely proud of him!
