Sonics vs. Team Machines

Soccer is a great way to show off those spring knees. After a long winter all players came to the field ready for action. This game was particular fun for Aidan because he played against one of his best buddies and classmate J.J. ( red hair)

Previous seasons Kyle and I use to joke that coach Joel looks like he trains his team for the World Cup. TJoel is a great coach because while playing soccer at the age of six is all fun and games. Coach makes sure the boys are improving their skill at every pratice and game. I look forward to watching Aidan develop his soccer game. He's wearing number 15. That's my jersey number in high school.

GO AIDAIN!!!

Sonics (Aidan) vs. Team Machines (J.J.)

What cuties!

Ethan was saying to Aidan " I'm proud of you A!"

And this is how he shows his affection.

Aidan's number one fan.

Spring knees 2011

It was a LONG winter. Once the snow melted, Ethan asked everyday if he can wear shorts. Then one day the sun came out to play. It was barely warm enough to go without a second layer. Ethan decided to bare his spring knees sporting a pair of rolled up army cargo pants. Thanks Ethan for the spring knees update 2011.

For Honey

Dear Honey,

Why am I writing you a post rather than in our shared journal? Because its easy. I'm here standing between the kitchen and dinning area ( my office ) so why walk all the way back into the bedroom to grab the journal.

Tonight I thanked our the boys for being patient while I nurse. They promised to listen better tomorrow. Aidan askef if I liked the thinking chair picture he drew of a trying day together. I thanked Elise for being so cute. She is such a happy baby!

Thank you for loading up the mom mobile with eight 14 inch pots so I can be ready for gardening class this week. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting so I get a chance to stand here and blog about what a wonderful hubby you are. Because you are.

Smooches - your wife

The Mom Song

(Easter picture)

Aidan sang The Mom Song during his class Mother's Day presentation. The crowd went wild. It was a standing ovation. I can't get the tune out of my head...

If you have a stroller

But you're still a rock n roller

You're a mom

If you're tired of doing dishes

And you know who Elmo's fish is

You're a mom

If you have a lot of fun

But your work is never done

You're a mom

You're the the boss, the driver

The Ultimate survivor

A doctor, a cooker

Your man thinks you're a look

If you work all day

But you never get paid

You're a mom

If you need a sick day

But instead you're gonna play

You're a mom

If your first occupation

Sounds like a sweet vacation

You're a mom

If your living room floor

Looks like a toy store

You're a mom

You're the boss, the driver

The ultimate survivor

A doctor, a cooker

Your man thinks your a looker

If you work all day

But you never get paid

You're a mom!

Get in the Circle

Aidan and Aunt Thanh model for Pilates Circle website.

The boys get a private lesson from their Auntie. Staying fit is a life style.
Teach 'em young.

Aidan can do three pull ups. That's three more than I can do.

Batman and baby

April fools day.

Hubby and I went out to a nice dinner last night. Elise came with us. Her daddy held her the whole time because he thinks its a treat to be with her as much as possible without interruption. When we ask for the tab its because Elise was fussing and I was feeling guilty about having her out after bedtime. Never mind that she took a three hour nap before we left. So the night progresses with Elise finally in her bed and Kyle and I snuggled in ours. But still there was no rest. I feel as if we have been up all night.

So this morning an exceptionally cranky mom of three woke up to April fools day. Are you kidding? This calls for a celebration!!! Stay tuned to see what pranks I pull on the kids and Kyle today:)
