That motherly touch

When you have a daughter you think they are going to grow up to be loving and sweet and gentle. You imagine that when they play with their baby dolls they will walk around with them with a tender touch. Not this little girl. You give her a doll and this is what happens:

The game was to see who could throw their babies down the stairs the fastest.

The poor doll hitting every step on her way down.

This is how the babies ended up. Lex and Mya would laugh and laugh as they did this over and over. I guess this is what happens when you have two older brothers that probably taught her this game. Maybe the gentleness and caring come the older you get. Maybe?

The end of another Season

One of our most favorite sports is soccer. It's been this way for a couple of years for one reason: Pk. He loves this sport so much, and we love to watch him. I don't like to brag about my kids, but I love to see the determination on Pk's face every game. If he is having a hard time getting the ball to go in the goal, he gets this look on his face and he tries ten times harder. He practices every night out in the back, and this is his favorite recess activity. One of Pk's gifts in life is this amazing athletic ability that he has. In whatever sport he plays he wants to be the fastest, quickest player out there.

Every year for four years Chad has been Pk's coach. He gets roped in to it every year by a couple of the parents that keep requesting him. But this has been fun because Pk plays with most of the same kids every year, and the parents have had a lot of fun watching them together.

Every other year Tan is old enough to play on the same team and this year was it. Tan tried really hard this year and what he wanted to do most this year was score a goal. It didn't happen but it was awesome to watch him try so hard!

These are some of the players that we have played with for a couple of years. The kids have all become really good friends.

Chad with his two favorite players. (I hope)!

Tan and Pk with the medals that they got.

It was so hot that day and the kids were so dehydrated.

Here's one of his looks when he is ready to go out there! He hates sitting on the sidelines.

Here they are on their last day. Can you tell they were really excited?

Pk proud of himself. They were undefeated this year and the whole team was so happy about it!

We were sad to see another season end, but maybe I can get my voice and my husband back!

Dance Class

Adorable! Precious! The cutest things that you have ever seen. These were the words to describe Lex and my little cousin on the first day of their very first dance class. I was so excited to take them because I thought that they looked absolutely adorable and that they were going to love every minute of it.

WRONG!! I came to pick them up and wish that I hadn't. It was one of those moments that you want to say, "That's not my kid!" The teacher told me that they didn't listen at all, that they were yelling and fighting with each other the whole time. Apparently there was a smack down going on when they were told to go stand in line, and they were the only kids in the class that did not get a sucker.

As she was telling me this, my little cousin ran over to the sucker basket, stole two of them and shoved them in her mouth before they could be taken away. Therefore Lex had to have one because it was only fair. The teacher told me we could seperate them into two different classes and try it one more time. And to top it off all the mothers were watching and listening to all of this going on. I'm sure that my face was a little red, if not completely!

On the way out to the car I asked the girls if they were naughty in class. Lex immediately said no but my little cousin says, "Ya, I was naughty, I didn't listen." Well thank goodness for honesty!

So not only do I have a little liar on my hands, but at the age of three she got kicked out of her very first dance class. She make look innocent, but she has everyone fooled! So here's to the first and only dance class of her career.
