Boston and His Soccer Goals - Videos

This little guy is doing pretty darn good at this soccer stuff. Makes us so proud. We weren't exactly sure how his first season of soccer would go but it's been surprisingly well. It's the funniest thing ever to watch these little 3/4 year olds run around kicking the ball. There are lots of missed kicks, tripping over the ball and standing around. Hilarious.

Bossy made 3 goals during his first game but had a dry spell on his second game then came back and scored 2 goals during his second game. And just today, he scored again!

These videos are for our memory book. :)

August Random Happenings

August has flown by. I can't even believe we are approaching September....and the fall season. However, it is a exciting since fall means baby. :) Here's a peek at a little of the things that we've been up to.

Pei Wei lunch after church. Most times we go to church on Saturday evenings which we love so much. By the time we get out of church its perfect timing for dinner. But this one weekend, life happened, so we ended up going on Sunday and had a family lunch with some yummy Asian food.

Our go-to snack is still yogurt and granola. It's Bossy's breakfast every-single-morning, too. But since I've been craving protein and dairy I've joined in on the action each day.

Sometime during the 27th week (in a $9 walmart dress).

During the 28th week.

Another one of my walmart dresses that I got a few weeks back for only $9! I bought them, tried them on and surprisingly they fit perfectly and so comfy. The perfect summer/pregnancy dress.

A weekend outing for dinner to Spring Creek Barbeque.

Soccer practice for B-man. He loves it....a lot.

Looking like such a big boy. Quit growing, please. Please!

First Soccer Season For The B-Man

That's right....little man is playing SOCCER!! What what!! We are thrilled...actually beyond thrilled for him. He's about to turn 4 in October so he's now eligible to get on a 3 and under team. This season is going to be so much fun. A few weeks ago we signed him up, paid our money and the next weekend, we headed out to the local sports store for all of his "gear." And, of course, we made it a big deal. It was definitely a family affair.

The soccer cleats and the shin guards were ah-dorable!! I couldn't get over how cute and little they were. His cleats were a size 12 and his shin guards were size xs small, you know, for 3-4 four year olds. Buuutt, the shin guards unfortunately ended up being way too small. Mister has some thick calves, apparently. Ha.

Two weeks ago we got our first email from his coach introducing himself and giving us all of the information about the team. And one of the things he mentioned was the their team name. The Sidekicks. What's cool, is that's the exact same name of the team that I grew up playing on from 4th grade to 9th grade (until I reached high school)! I could't believe it. Since my dad was my soccer coach growing up, I immediately text my dad telling him. It was too cool.

So, like any other "firsts," we had to document his first soccer practice last Friday. I'm sure to be that mom at the practices and games that are taking loads of pictures and videos on the sidelines. Ha. But I'm okay with that. Oh and at one point, I went onto the field to get a closer picture, Boston saw me and yelled, "Get out of the game, mama!" Haha. I couldn't stop laughing!! :)

We got a little headband for him to wear for his games so that his hair stays out of his face while he's playing. You know, so he can focus on making those goals. :)
