On the bus to disney

Turkey Legs!

Lottie and Adam liked the turkey at thanksgiving. 

Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent thanksgiving in Galveston before heading to disney.  Here are some pictures of the weekend.

Miracle on 34th Street

Pictures from last night.

Fall Soccer

Adam and Lottie got to play on separate teams this season. Lottie played for the Red Birds. They had a half season - just about right for 3 and 4 year olds. The kids were great. They even went the right direction in all the games, and about half of them scored. Lottie scored in all the games and is a great dribbler, even though she is one of the youngest players.

Adam got to move back up to the 5 and 6 year old league. His team was the Yellow Dragons, although Adam wanted to be the Lava Sharks, then the Yellow Tigers. His team also did really well. It was amazing to see 5 and 6 year olds figure out teamwork and passing. Adam is a great soccer player. He had a lot of breakaways and a few goals, even though he is (like Lottie) one of the youngest kids. I had a great time coaching both teams!

New Pictures

There were a lot of soccer parties recently.  Adam and Lottie both had season end parties.  Very fun!

Bluebonnets

Annual bluebonnet pictures. I had to bribe them with a hike afterwards, but we got some good ones!

March Extras

Here are some pictures from March (yikes!) that fell through the cracks. I took the kids to an arts festival in Killeen. They enjoyed looking at the art. The best part was the artist who was painting faces. Lottie didn't want anything girlie - she picked a dog (although it ended up looking more cat-like to me).

Adam picked Spider Man.

They enjoyed the balloon sculpture. Of course, they tried to ride the motorcycle.

All dressed up for soccer practice.

Lottie and Mary got matching princess scooters. Of course, Lottie's ended up getting run over when she left it behind the car. She is still not repentant, so it hasn't been replaced. It was a fun two weeks, while it lasted.

Time with Grandmas

We spent the last part of our trip at my grandmother's house in Waialua (North Shore). We enjoyed being out in the country, aside from the constant crowing of the roosters next door. We took a drive out to the far northwest side of the island. It was a little windy!










If this looks a little familiar, it's an area where they filmed a lot of Lost (the TV show).

We also spent some time at the beach front playground near my grandmother's house.

Going for our nightly walk.
