Both of the boys tried soccer for the first time this Spring. Most
games were cold and windy but the boys still enjoyed it, for the most
part. Benson was on a preschool team called the Green Lions. Benson
wasn't that interested in kicking the ball but he improved a lot. And he
sure enjoyed being around the other kids. He was always the first to
come in and put his hand in for the team cheer. Such a great team
player! Brig was on a kindergarten team with a lot of his friends from
school. They were called the Blue Jays. Brig has a lot of speed and
agility and was good at chasing down the ball. We just need to work on
aiming and kicking for the Fall season.
While Dad was gone on his
annual brothers' mountain bike trip, we decided we needed some pets.
Haha, the boys picked out two kittens and named them Yoda (Brig's) and
Sunny (Benson). They live outside and in our garage and are really good
to put up with the kids manhandling them.
Brig finished the
school year with a field day and singing program. I was not surprised in
the least when during tug-of-war he went to the front and was cheering
on the rest of his teammates the whole time. He is a natural leader and
really great at encouraging others.
Jared and I played on an city
rec co-ed volleyball team together with some friends. It was great
having a date night playing a sport that I love, even though we didn't
win a single game. I also played on a women's league, we fared a little
better than the co-ed team.
