The Big Game!!

As most of you know, soccer season began this morning at 8am!! A bit early for my gang. The boys were very excited and ready to play, on team Chaos. They did a great job listening to their coaches and doing what they were told. There was no whining and when they fell down they just got back up and kept on going!! I was so proud. Those had been my concerns!! They are playing on the church upward league which is great for this age. Everyone gets equal playing time and everyone wins!! Luckily the boys don't have a clue that the other team took them to the cleaners today!! There were several times when Nathan just stood and looked at the ball -- but he wasn't alone. Mason made a good stop one time, but quickly lost control to the other team. Oh well...they looked great to me!!
I had to include in this blog a picture of my sweet boys the day I brought them home from the hospital. Time has flown by. I have made it my goal to saver each and every moment of their lives because it passes all too quickly. When I found out I was having two boys people often said, "You'll be a great soccer mom". Well here we are at 4 1/2 and I'm giving it my best shot. I have loved motherhood and I can't wait to see what the next 4 1/2 years has to offer!!

Starting School Tomorrow!!

I guess you never outgrow that anticipation of the "first day" of school. Tomorrow is my first day as a Kindergarten teacher, and I am a bit nervous. I have 16 students in my class (11 are boys!!). I have everything planned and ready to go, now I just pray that it runs the way I have it worked out in my head!! I'll post soon with an update on how it is going!!

As for the boys, they are so excited about school starting. They tell everyone, "You know...I'm in 4 year old kindergarten now." Very proud. I think they have "grown up" a good bit over the summer and I think they will do well. Their teacher is new to the 4's and is showing a great deal of excitement and enthusiasm as well. I think she is going to be good for them. I'll let you know how it goes!!

Bama Game

Yeasterday was the first Bama home game of the season and David and I were excited to be there since we sold our tickets last year to help justify our trip to NYC!! We had a great time. The weather couldn't have been better for a first game. And the score was acceptable too. We hope the rest of the season is this great. Gigi (and Pop sometimes) usually come down to keep the boys on game weekends, but this was their 35th wedding anniversary so they decided not to plan on this one. So my friend Allison (aka Alli to the boys) and her "friend" Gavin spent the day with them. They had a great time baking cookies, going to Chick fil a and wearing the grown-ups out!! Needless to say, I didn't mention to them where we were going. That wouldn't have gone over well. Maybe we'll brave taking them to one game this year?!?!
