Praying

Sorry there are no pictures this update! It has been a little crazy around here. Grant has been sick since Friday, the whole nine yards. So sorry if I haven't been able to return phone calls or answer emails as quickly as I normally do, I have been cleaning up puke! I thought he was going to be able to go to school today but he didn't. Yesterday he was doing so good. I was able to get a little food down him and some water and gatorade. All was fine until I left for the gym just before he went to bed. He did it again, this time Sam had to clean it up! So I kept him home from school today and so far he has been good. I am keeping my fingers, toes, everything crossed.

 Tonight the twins have an indoor soccer game. Keep everything crossed for them too! The last two teams we have played have been select club teams. Our team is kids thrown together from two different soccer clubs, all but a few have never played together before. Tonight is a new team that I am not familiar with, so hopefully they are a team more on our level. It hasn't really bothered the twins not winning but I think it is starting to get to some of our players. On one positive note, Ethan has become a good little goalie. And hopefully playing indoor soccer will help even more. I really don't like my kids playing that position but it is something he really enjoys so I guess I have no say in it really. As long as he likes it and tries his hardest, I am a proud Momma! Ian is also improving. He likes to be goalie but not as much as Ethan. He mostly plays forward. I think half back is more his speed though. I guess time will tell. They both seem to really enjoy soccer. I am happy with that! They are on the same team, same practice time, same game time which equals less running time for me!!

Regan is doing great too. He is trying to talk a little more and climbing a lot more. He is a sneaky little fellow! The other day someone left one of the stools in the kitchen and Regan decided to climb not only on the stool but up on the stove. I look over and there he his dancing up on the stove. :) He LOVES to dance. I have been trying to get a video of him dancing but it seems that every time I try he doesn't want to or when he is dancing I don't have my camera.

Lastly, I just wanted to wish you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving. Y'all will all be in our thoughts and prayers. And I can't go with out saying, GIG'EM AGGIES. I know it is a long shot but a true Aggie has to believe!!!! BTHO t.u.

Reading

The twins have to read every night partly for school and partly because they enjoy it. The past few nights Grant and Regan have been joining them on the couch in the sun room. It is so cute to see all four of them on the couch reading, I just had to capture it.

Boys being silly.

Monkey See Monkey Do

Here is Grant and Regan being silly. Regan is at the age where he does EVERYTHING that the older boys do. Here Grant was acting like he was upset, so Regan decided he would do the same thing. MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO! This was on Friday before we left for the state soccer finals.

State Finals

This past Friday, November 14th, the Boonsboro Boys Soccer Team was in the state finals. I thought the twins would learn a little bit and enjoy watching the varsity team play soccer. So as soon as the kids got off the bus we went to our neighbors house to pick them up and then went on to Baltimore to watch the game. All the boys enjoyed the game even though it misted through the whole game. Boonsboro lost 3-1 but came in 2 in the state! I think that is a great thing for our soccer community. Here are some pictures before we left.

Tournament

November 8 the twins had their final soccer game(s) for the fall season. They were in Fall Frederick Tournament. Although the tournament didn't go our way, the boys played great! And Grant and Regan did great through the 3 games and 5 1/2 hours we were there! Ian is #14 and Ethan is #15.

Opps that one went by a little fast!

about to score

Our Weekends

Here is a peek into what are weekends are all about. It is filled with soccer. I have taken pictures at two of Ethan and Ian's games. One was at the beginning of the season, Sept. 19, and the others were taken last weekend, Nov. 1st. Ethan is number 15 and Ian is 14. In the first game, Ian was goalie for most of the game, so he is in the red pennie. The 2nd game is Ethan doing a throw in. After the Nov. 1st game we had our team party so the rest are the pictures from that. We hiked up to the 1st Washington Monument on the Appalachian Trail and had a pizza party. The kids had a great time!!

Ian actually saved this!!

Regan and Grant were WIPED out
