Soccer's over and Little Ninja's Begins!

Kate had a great end to her soccer season this year.  She learned SO much about the basic game and then advanced to learning quite a bit of strategy.  I was really impressed with her coach.  He was enthusiastic and made all the players really excited about the game.

Kate plans on playing in the fall league this year and hope to get on Coach Corey's team again.  Go Fireballs!

The day finally arrived!!!!  Will has been taking gymnastics at Chow's along with Kate since he was 3.  He really advanced in his balance, climbing skills and coordination during the class.  Brett and I asked him if he would be interested in doing Little Ninja's at Chow's this summer instead of gymnastics.  Well we only had to ask once, and then the 1st day couldn't get here quick enough.

The instructor Mrs. Samuelson takes it pretty serious.  So to prevent the 5 little boys in the class from getting distracted (which is so easy),  the parents are not allow to observe.  I was bummed at first, but then totally got it after sneaking a peek through the small window in the door!  It's REALLY HARD to keep 5 little 4 yr olds focused!  And Will loves to show me every thing he has learned after the class each week.

Will is officially a Ninja and LOVES it!!!

Going Away Party and 9th Anniversary

June was a crazy first month of summer.  It all started with a fun (but sad) going away party for some friends of ours that are leaving our little Clive neighborhood.  Jill and Travis are a great couple and tons of fun.  We had a great time gathering all the neighbors together to have a little fun before they moved. 

Brett and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary on the 12th!  WOW have we had a lot of changes in the past 9 years.  I loved every one of them.  We managed to get a sitter for a few hours that night to have a romantic dinner together.  Well, let me rephrase that.... romantic dinner on a patio until the umbrella on the table behind me tipped over and almost knocked me out!!!    My hero saw it coming and jumped up and saved me!  And that my friends is 1 of the many reasons I married that man!!!!
