Soccer tournament season has officially kicked off. Lis had a great start to the summer tournament season with 3 goals in the first game (pks and penalty), 1 nice goal in the second and another with a little help from the other team on her corner.

 Lis' corner against Rebels. My favorite part of the video is how quick she runs after the goal with her hands in the air to celebrate with her teammates.

Hands off! That's my BABY!

Got through to take a nice shot. Her favorite spot, off on the left side.  

GOAL! 

One of these things is doing his own thing.....

Jakey is particular with whom he chooses to be social with.  I will tell him, "Jakey, you were invited to insert friends name here birthday party. Would you like to go?" He thinks for a minute and then usually says no. This past weekend he actually wanted to go to the birthday party. After a few hours he was sitting in my chair at the park ready to go. He said, "I'm just waiting for cake and then we can go home."  I was ready to go home and no way I waiting for this party to move along and serve cake to leave so I convinced him that I would buy him a piece of cake at the store on the way home if we could leave, he kindly agreed.  Not to compare kids, but Alyssa always wanted to go to parties/gatherings and Jake just isn't that kid. Love him for his honesty that is for sure.



Waiting for cake at the park. Thank goodness I ran into an old friend and chatted with her for quite sometime.

I am always caught off guard when someone at preschool asks me if I'm Jake's mom. My reply usually starts with...Ummm...yes..in a why do you ask sort of tone.  This time it was Chloe's mom. Chloe really wants to have a play date with Jake, can we set something up. So the following week off to the park we go. She's a nice little girl who apparently has had quite the crush on Jake this school year. She even told her mom she couldn't sleep the week leading up to the play date because she was so excited to see Jake outside of school. Come to find out they will be attending the same school for kinder. Jake said he likes her because "she gives me my space."  That's definitely a way to Jake's heart. 

Chloe and Jake and the park

Alyssa has officially finished 4th grade and Jakey will wrap up his preschool career next week. Can't believe I will have a 5th grader and kindergartner.  Where or where does the time go?
