Party Time!

On December 17th we went to our friends birthday party at out local skating rink. It was Megan's first time skating and she had a great time and did really well at it!

Here are some of the kids from the party with a weird looking Mickey Mouse that was walking around.

Concert Time!

Each of the kids had school Christmas concerts this December. Daniel had his during the day with is Pre-K class. They sang a few songs and then showed us some projects they made for the holidays. It's always fun to go to school and see what the kids have been working on. Daniel looked so handsome that I had to get a pic of him before school.

Megan's concert was in the evening and she performed with the whole first and second grade classes. They were a sight to be seen and sang some very nice holiday songs. Megan looked so cute up there and did a great job singing for us. We are proud of her for sure!

Marvin the Monkey

A few weeks ago Megan got to bring her class pet Marvin the monkey home for the weekend. You're supposed to do a fun activity with him and take a picture and write about it. So we asked Megan what she wanted to do and of course she said she wanted to go to Bippy's frozen yogurt. We had a great time eating yogurt as a family with Marvin!

It's Soccer Season Again!

Another season of soccer is upon us. Steen is coaching Daniel's U6 boys team and assistant coaching Megan's U8 girls team this season. We are keeping busy on the fields each Tuesday and Saturday for several hours it seems. Natalie and I love cheering for our little soccer players and are very proud of Steen, Megan, and Daniel.

Daniel's team is the Fireballs!

Megan's team is the Pink Pandas!

Blast from the past: January 6, 2008

Yesterday Steen and I were organizing some of our old pictures and videos and we came across this video. We had all the kids laughing and I must say I miss those days with the small kids. They were so adorable! And Daniel had the chubbiest little cheeks!

Back to school!

Monday was the kids first day of school. They've been excited for a few weeks now anticipating the first day. It finally arrived. We were all a little tired from getting up so early to get everyone off and onto the bus - but overall everyone had a very great day! They both came home with lots of fun facts all about what there day was like - new teachers, friends, and things to do at school! And I better not forget to mention how great the bus ride was - especially for Daniel! We are excited for yet another year of school. And while Mommy is missing the kids, her and Natalie are enjoying the peace and quiet at home! Also, shopping with one child is a lot easier than taking all three! I think I may be able to get used to this!

Kindergarden Graduation

Megan had her kindergarden graduation about two weeks ago. Her class had a little singing and award program that they presented to the parents. It was adorable. Megan had a great kindergarden experience and is ready to face 1st grade in the fall! Way to go Megan!

On her way to school lookin' adorable!

Hooray for the graduate!

Soccer's done for Megan!

Megan successfully finished up her third season of soccer this last weekend. She had the best season yet and of course really enjoyed having Steen as her coach. We are looking forward to playing again in the fall. Good job Megan!

All ready for her last game!

Megan loves trophy time and also got an award for being the most aggressive player on her team. Way to go Megan!

Happy 6th Birthday Megan!

On May 11th Megan turned 6 years old! She had a great day. We brought her ice cream and juice boxes to celebrate at school. We went out to dinner at Margarettaville with a beautiful water front view, we walked on the peir, and then went to Bippy's for some birthday frozen yogurt. We were all so stuffed from earlier so we ended up having birthday cake the next day after dinner! What a fun day we all had and it was extra special because we had some special birthday visitors come all the way from WA to spend the week with us!

Field Day!

On Thursday Megan's school had field day. It was an exciting day for Megan! She participated in lots of events and did really well! Who knew she was so good at sack racing and the water balloon toss?

100 days smarter!

Today was Megan's 100th day of school. She said today was one of the best days of school EVER!! Oh the life of a little school girl.

2 Wheelin' It

Megan has been begging for about two months to have us teach her how to ride a two wheeler. So finally a few weeks ago Steen took off her training wheels and I taught her how to ride her bike. It only took her about 5 minutes to figure it out. She loves riding her bike like a big kid now. Good job Megan!

Kindergarten Christmas Fun!

On Monday Megan had a kindergarten Christmas concert. They sang 5 or 6 songs and sounded so cute! It was Megan's first concert and boy was she proud! In between the songs she would wave at us and give us big smiles. After the concert her class had a Christmas party. I was able to help out at the sugar cookie decorating station. We had lots of fun. Megan sure does love school, her classmates and her teacher!

Soccer Season - Over!

Saturday Megan had her last soccer game of the fall season. We had a good time this season and of course Megan loved having Steen and Tanner be her coaches. She also enjoyed making new friends and becoming a better soccer player this season. Megan has a lot of skills that she still needs to learn and become better at, but regardless she had a great time! In a few weeks we will have our end of the year party and awards. Megan is looking forward to getting another trophy!

Baseball Season - Over!

Last week the kids had there last baseball practice and small game. They have learned a lot over the last 6 weeks and have had a lot of fun being on the same team. We may have some future little baseball players on our hands. After the game the kids received balls, bats, gloves, and medals. They thought it was pretty awesome.

And here's Natalie cheering on her brother and sister from the bleachers.

Thanksgiving School Play

Last week Megan had her Kindergarten class play. She was the cutest turkey that we've ever seen. We were able to see her class play, sing songs, and then have a turkey lunch with her in the cafeteria. We all had a wonderful time!

Here's our little turkey!

Take me out to the ball field

Daniel and Megan started baseball last week. They are doing a 7 week program on base and had a great first practice! It's really fun to have them enrolled together.

Here's the group of us with Steen taking the picture.
Daniel gets so excited to just hit the ball so Steen helps him with his form sometimes!

Here's to a fun (and busy) next few weeks!

Score!

Last night Megan had a game and team pictures. I made all of the girls matching bows and they looked adorable. Megan also scored her first goal of the season, so she was way proud. Tomorrow Megan and Daniel are starting a 6 week round of baseball. I'm a little scared of seeing all the kids running around with bats and balls. It should be interesting! Pics to come...

Soccer Season

Another season of soccer has begun. Megan had her first practice last night. She is very excited about her new team and of course her coach who happens to be her Daddy again! This is the only pic I got of her last night. Don't you just love the blue knees and hands? They painted the fields and everyone was a mess! Here's to another fun and exciting soccer season!
