It's been so long...

I did not realize that it has been sooo long since my last blog posting. We have been extremely busy with school, soccer, pta fundraisers, etc....

So here is the latest.
Rae and Syd both play soccer.... I don't think either team has won a game. Raegan is 7 1/2 and plays U8. She is just now gaining the courage to "step it up". She has played Goalie a couple of times. That is really scary. I can't imagine what that is like. I think she is brave! Her close friend's mom is the coach this year. I think she has done a fantastic job of coaching the girls. She has worked really hard on defense this year. Next year we will work on offense. We just didn't want the girls to get "creamed" this year.

Sydney basically plays on a team where the coach is on the field with them coaching them along the game. Raegan played the same for 2 seasons.
I always thought that Sydney would be my "go getter" when it came to sports. Well she isn't. I think she would rather be a ballerina!! She does really well in practice, but when it comes to the game she has absolutely no focus!!! She was out there literally looking at her fingernail polish. I have always joked about kids like this and she is one of them. "O' Lord!! The assistant coach is a total anal freak. His daughter is like a little 5 yr old steroid soccer player. I can't believe the moves on this kid. So I think it drives him to drinkin' when all the others are just like Syd.
I find it to be a little funny. I get a kick out of watching obsessive anal parents get their panties in a wad!!! Good grief we are not breeding Olympians!! THEY'RE FIVE!!!!!

Ashton is is usual self. He is in 3 yr old preschool for two days a week. I think he is just now getting the hang of it. He is one of two boys and 6 or 8 girls!! Hello! could we get some diversity!! Of course Ashton is an extremely social person. (I have no idea where he would get that) LOL.. So he gets along well with the girls.
This summer Ashton showed a great interest in animals, bugs, maps, etc. He watched "Man VS Wild" every day!! I believe that one day he will be just like Bear Grilles.
It is a relief to me that we have found his passion. He has never really been into his toys. I guess they are not adventurous enough. Though he has found Legos to be entertaining!!
So look out in about 20 yrs. Ashton will have his own cooking adventure show. It will be how to survive and make a gourmet meal in the wild with only a pocket knife!!

Now for Nathan. OOOOO Nathan. He is Two. Really should I say more????
He his into dumping out, squeezing out, spilling out, shaking out!!! Anything that he can empty from its original container, will happen!! He gets into markers and crayons. He will write on anything, walls, cabinets, my car, the list goes on and on!! He even writes on himself. He apparently is into self art! He took off his diaper last week and colored almost his entire body with a fuchsia pink marker.....even his penis was pink!! It was hilarious. He thought so too.
But he his my baby, and is sweet!! soo so sweet!! I love the age two. Because age three is hell!!!
They are soo into discovery(which would explain all of the above). It is fascinating to me to watch them discover and learn. The simple things in life that excite them! What we take for granted.

I really don't need to give you an update with me. Giving theirs pretty much sums it up.
I just strive to be a better MOM, WIFE, Person, friend...everyday! The first being the most important!!
Til next time...
