The Yellow Bees!

We signed Brooklyn up for league soccer this year. This is her first year/game. Finally one of our kids wants to participate in sports. Kallie (almost 7) wants nothing to do with soccer, or anything to do with sweating for that matter.(which is fine) Just don't ask me where she gets that from. :) Anyone who knows me, knows I live to work out and be active.

So you can imagine my excitement when Brooklyn showed a lot of interest in playing soccer this fall. So we signed her up right away.

I just can't help feel joy when one of our girls wants to play sports. I love it. Love sports, Love to be the cheerleader on the sideline, Love the workout, Love, love, love it. Smile.

Despite being a little confused on what to do and where to go. She had a great time running around and Jim and I had a blast cheering!!

Kallie the 1st grader!

My little girl is growing up! She is now going to school full time from 8:45am to 4:00pm. So long, right? With riding the bus it takes that long to get home.

She was a little timid/reserved at first. But she made it through those doors safely. Shheewww.

I don't know why I worry about her. Maybe cuz I remember having those same exact shy feelings every time I went to school or moved to a new place.

But, as time goes by I know she will warm up to the other kids.

Intel Work Party!!

Our good friends Carl and Annette Farley invited us to their work party. It was so fun. There were carnival games, GoodWood BBQ, snow cones, and of course blue cotton candy. :)

Three times a Charm!

Its' funny, Jim and I have learned a lot in the almost 9 years we have been married but, occasionaly we still get those hard lessons to learn. It's part of life right?

If you haven't heard yet. Jim was laid off yet again. Just last week. This makes #3 in 3 years 9 months. Funny right? Smile

I don't know exactly WHAT we need to learn from this lesson. I honestly thought we learned enough the last time this happened. But here we are yet again and meanwhile, Jim is searching hard and I have no doubt he will find something soon.

He is so amazing and not one to sit around and twittle his thumbs. So with that said, watch out all you Big Wigs!
