Sinjin's quirks.

I just had to post this pic I took of Sinjin when he wasn't looking. He is so quirky! We love him so much. After school he gets out his book and homework but he just can't sit still. He is bouncing up and down as he does his math, writes one spelling word then has to spin around, hang upside down while reading his book as he sings the words out loud to his own made up tune! I think after a full day of being good and listening to the teacher, he is ready to let out all his energy, and I get to witness it every day! He is such a fun person to be around. He is always singing, running, sword fighting, spinning, wrestling, laughing, talking loudly (so he can be heard over the other kids), throwing, kicking a ball, and much much more! But then you catch him is his quiet moments and he is such a sweet heart. Coloring, painting, folding paper, rocking Kade to sleep, sitting on my lap, playing with my hair, helping others and much much more. I just loved this picture so much, it deserved it's own post.

Annette's 35! And some fun family pictures.

So, let's start with the worst picture first. That way we can get it over with and move on! My sweet family woke me up with breakfast in bed and presents. Do not click on the picture to make it bigger! LOL!

Yummy Belgian waffles and chocolate covered strawberries! Yes, that candle say's 8, it's all we had apparently.

I love to take pictures, so for my birthday, my family allowed me to drive around and have some fun. These pictures are SOOC (strait out of camera) no editing.

I love spring flowers.

We also had a lot of fun (well sort of) TRYING to take family pictures...

For Saint Patricks Day, Amara left a little note in her shoes for the Leprechauns! It say's: Dear Lepheroan, Welcome, to, the, Shoo, home, ingoy, your, self, intel, you, her, scwing, run
!
Ha ha! She is so cute! What she means is: "Dear Leprechaun, Welcome to the shoe home. Enjoy yourself until you hear squeaking, RUN!" Their beds squeak, so that means they will be waking up. LOL! I love her!

Spring Soccer 2011

Tait, Tiernan, Amara and Sinjin love soccer! They go out and play it with each other almost every day. We had a lot of fun this season. Here are some of the highlights of the games that I actually remembered to bring my camera to! Ha!

Here is Sinjin (Kindergartener) running for the ball...

and kicking it!

Throwing the ball back in.

Go Sinjin Go!!

I know you can't see him here, but he is the one that just kicked the ball!

And he made a GOAL!!!

Here is Tait's team defending the goal from a penalty kick. I thought it was so funny!! Hmmm, why do they have their hands there!?

Tait plays defender, and is great at it. It's his favorite position. Here he is stopping a ball. He always has his tongue pushing his lips out, I think when he bites his tongue for the first time, it will be his last time too! He'll learn that's not the best thing to do!

Throwing it back in.

Here is Amara in the light blue shorts. She is one quick little girl. She has fun out running all the kids on the field and she is a sure spitfire! Don't mess with her on the field ;)

Amara's team giving a cheer after the game! They won!
Tiernan played also, but the only game I could make it to got rained out :( I don't have any pictures of her playing, but she is one great little soccer player too! She usually plays forward and she is learning to get aggressive. I'm so grateful my kids like soccer. It's really fun for us to support each other and cheer!
