Soccer Playing Machine!

By -
We've had our first family sports experience this month. We signed Kimball up for Lindon soccer league. He's in the 4-5 year old division. It's so cute. There are six people on a team. They play three on three, no goalie.

Some of these kids (mostly the five year olds) are pretty good little soccer players. Luckily no scores are kept.

Kimball really enjoys playing soccer, but let's just say he's not the competitive type. He definitely takes after his father, which I've decided is a good thing.
In his first game, Kimball actually managed to get a few kicks in.
Kimball is more of an "explain how it's supposed to go" kind of person. You'd think after looking at this picture that the coach had quite a bit to tell Kimball, but it was just the opposite. Kimball had a lot to tell the coach.
Gotta love that kicking shot.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL! (Unfortunately, not made by Kimball.) Celebrating the point.
Look at that hot coach on the right. Clark got to coach the second game we had. He did a great job!
Go Bengals!!

How fun is that! Is that Kimball playing with his hair slicked back!?:) Looks like beautiful weather and are you loving the quick action mode on your camera? We are so excited for your visit and explored some marsh areas near by to take you all to to see some alligators!

That is too cute! Kimball must have been so proud to have his dad coach a game. Trevor's dream is to coach our kids soccer games. I'm also grateful he is not as competetive as me.
We are so excited your family will be at the reunion. Jonny and I will be there. (Trev has to stay and study for finals) Can't wait to see you!

Yup. He's one cute soccer player. So fun that he's gotten into organized sports. Here's to many, many, many years more. (Whether you like it or not!)

Hope all is well. I can't wait to see you this summer. A get together in your new backyard would be fabulous, but anywhere will do. It will be wonderful to catch up in person.

Hey Amanda,
This is Malia (Keck). After not looking at my blog for a long time, I saw your comment on there. I am glad you asked Carillisa if that was me. How are you doing? I checked out your blog and you have some really cute kids!! England, huh, I bet that was a great experience! Keith wants to move to Germany or France for a few years with work. Anyway, I hope to talk to you soon and see some more great posts.

Amanda, Apparantly I am a "blogstalker"... I found you through Michelle's blog. Anyways, some of my friends saw this blog http://sfhs2000.blogspot.com/
and thought someone should do that for the our class. I thought someone should do it too, just not me... Soooo, I am seeing if you wanted to head it up. You seem to be very blog savvy, or well enough connected to pass it on to someone else who might be interested. Let me know. Thanks.

Chuck E. Cheese & Hannah's Arm

First, my apologies for the not so great pictures at Chuck E. Cheese.  I'm still trying to figure out photography indoors without a great flash. Man, Chuck E. Cheese has been around forever.  I remember going there when I was a kid.  In fact, I just remembered that I have a picture of my sister's birthday party from there.  I think I was 10 or so at the time.  (I'm on the right, my friend Katie on the left.) I'm pretty sure that is the very same Chuck E. Cheese that my kids just went to last week.  How scary is that? Anyway, Clark's brother had a deal for food and what seemed like a million tokens at Chuck E. Cheese, so he wanted to take my kids.  Our nephew was in town as well, so it was a good time for my kids to spend time with him. Here are a few pics from that night: Sammy at the wheel.  My kiddos with Uncle Andy and cousin Zander.  Zander, Kimball, and Sammy  Addi Joy  Kimball's really into basketball lately.  He...

Catch Up, Part 2

These events aren't in chronological order. They're just in the order of the way the pictures uploaded to the post. House & Yard: After four years of living in this house, we've finally gotten around to finishing the yard. We built this house, so we had to start from scratch. We were doing a little at a time. Every year when we'd get our taxes back, we'd do something big on the yard. This year we decided to bite the bullet and just get the rest finished, and I am so glad we did. We had grass in the back, but that was it. No fence, no playground, no trampoline, no borders, no patio. Here's what the back of the house looked like before: We knew we always wanted a deck, so we finally had our neighbor build us one. When it was almost finished, our boys didn't like to go out on the deck because their feet got too hot (it's west facing). So we decided to have our neighbor add a roof to the deck. We are so glad we did. He did an awesome job and it looks gr...

The Best Train Track Ever

By -

Kimball was off playing with cousins today. So, while Addi took her nap, Sammy and I bonded creating the greatest train track we've ever built. It took quite a bit of time and a lot of patience on Sammy's part (which he had a lot of), but we conquered. Here is our masterpiece: We love these Fisher Price trains. We have four that use remotes (as you can see in the close-up of Sammy), and Sammy got the plane this year for Christmas. I'll tell you, I have as much fun if not more than the boys when playing with these trains. They have been worth every penny we've spent on them. I love this picture of Sammy. It shows his mild case of OCD. He has to have all the train remotes nicely lined up for easy access. So cute. By the time we finished creating the track, we didn't have much time left for playing. We had only enough time to learn that we need five people manning the trains and plane in order to keep them from crashing. Oh, but it sure was fun.
