Soccer is over

Joshua has really grown in the last year.  He recently just shot up 4 more inches.  Crazy to think he will be in High School soon.

Aaron finished his first soccer season.  He had fun.  He loves his medal.

Evan's team did great.  Evan has good hustle.  

Aaron's team finished strong.

Evan had a good soccer year as well.  Leah's team did great.  I didn't get pics of her last game.  Michael is a great coach for their team.  It is so fun to see them grow so much.

 

A little of this and that

Soccer has been cancelled for three weeks so we have been playing volleyball.  The picture above is Joshua chasing the volleyball down to the creek.

We have played at the park between storms.

Evan and Leah are getting good and monkey bars.

Aaron has hung out at the arboretum.  

We have our flowers blooming.

Evan and Leah got first and second at Steamposium.  I am so proud of their work and this year was a great year for robotics.  

 

Busy week!

I failed to take Aaron for his shots in the fall, so he got them this week.  On the way into the doctor's office he tripped and skinned both knees and an elbow.  He was all bandaged up.  He made me carry him everywhere.

He also got a little sick from it all and it wore him out. Poor kid.

We had weird looking hail.  We don't get it often in our city, it usually hits the more rural areas.  The kids were fascinated with it.  

I ran a half marathon this weekend.  I got my fastest time ever!  I had to tie my shoes in the first mile so I know I can get more time off.  I am chasing down that under two hour mark one second at time.  ha ha :)

Leah scored a goal this weekend.  Thunderbolts played a good game.  Evan and Aaron both played well too.  They were both on defense and did a great job.

Evan looking handsome with his new tie at church.

We also had a barbecue at someone who just moved into our ward.  They had a good turn out.

Dallin and Joshua played UIL band.  They sounded pretty good.

Leah and Evan competed in State Robotics competition this weekend.  I was way more involved with robotics this year and really enjoyed helping coach them.  They had an awesome season!

 

Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter!

We went to the Cruz house to eat and egg hunt.

They all still enjoy egg hunting.

We celebrated my Mom's birthday.  Michael looks a little threatening in this picture but he's just excited to cut the cake.  

We dyed eggs.

The kids dug into their Easter baskets.

I forgot to get a picture of all of them.  

We played card games.  

We also enjoyed a wonderful weekend of inspired words from the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  It was a wonderful Easter weekend.

 

Birthday Soccer and Robotoics

Joshua's robotics team qualified for state.  He and his team did so great this year.  Leah and Evan are practicing for their State tournament as they have also qualified.  

Michael had Birthday.  He wanted broccoli cheddar casserole and chocolate lasagna cake.

The next day we had everyone over for a dinner.  The weather was perfect.  We ate and played corn hole, volleyball, and archery.

Michael got a BB Gun he had to try out.  

Evan scored a goal this weekend.  He has gotten so fast.  He is doing great.  The kids all did well.

 

Soccer

Soccer season has begun so every Saturday we will be at the field.  

Aaron had his first soccer game.  He skinned his knee and was a little out of sorts after that.

We have been playing a lot of corn hold during spring break as well.

Leah had a great game.  She did great at goalie for the first time.

 

Spring Break

We went to Surfside for a weekend.

It was so lovely to get away for a few days.

We had fun riding on the waves.  

The beach wasn't crowded while we were there.

We went on walks and soaked up the sun.

We checked out the aquarium while we were there too.

Early morning walks on the beach are the best.

Good times were had by all

We watched people surf and one guy even kite surfed.

There are several Texas historic statues.
