Saturday - Woah, am I tired!!!

April 4, 2009 - After crashing in bed late last night, I am super tired today! Had to get up at 7am to get ready for Madison's soccer game. Got everyone up and ready except Trav as he is still not feeling well. Everyone is kind of zombie like as we all went to bed so late.

Madison's game was awesome! They won by a score of 12-3 (it was actually 12-2, but the other team mom insisted that they scored 3 goals so I conceeded). Madison scored 2, yes TWO, goals! She hustled so much on the field. She went for the ball, she passed it, and she went for goals! It was an awesome game! And, it was even more impressive since there were only 5 kids there - Francisco, Elisa, Madison, Anthony and John. This coming week they don't have any practices or games because of spring break.



After her game, we just came home and vegged at home for a bit. We had some lunch and then did the cake and ice cream thing. I opened my presents - got a shirt and a video of St. Therese from Mom and Dad, a card from Eric and Beth and a card and money for a Mega Millions ticket from Carolyn and Jim. Then, the kids played a ton of Guitar Hero. They also played with the toys and stuff.



Keegan broke both his top teeth today. Carolyn mentioned last night that she could see them coming, but today they actually broke all the way through. That explains a lot - diaper rash, cranky baby, chewing. I can't believe that he isn't even 11 months and he is well on his way to having all 4 of his front teeth. My baby is growing up too fast!
For dinner, Carolyn, Tori, Keegan, Braden and I drove around Kennesaw looking for something that sounded good. We ended up of all places at Wendy's per Braden's request. We brought that back for everyone. While we were gone, Trav took Amber, Ashton and Madison to the park to play basketball. They came back with red faces and big smiles so I know they had fun. After dinner, the kids played outside a bit and then Carolyn, Amber, Madison, Keegan and I took a walk to the park, to the mansion and then back home. It was a beautiful night for a stroll. Carolyn loved seeing all the bushes and flowers blooming. Not something she sees right now in Michigan. We came back and just hung out, talked and had fun before going to bed. It was a great day with lots of fun!!!

1-14-09 Wednesday

On Wednesday morning, January 14, 2009, Keegan got his first tooth! Oh boy am I in trouble now!!! He has been chewing on things feverishly for a while now. Even the doctor at his appointment on Monday said that he has a couple teeth that will be in soon. However, I had no idea that she meant this soon! He is only 7.5 months! It blows me away! Madison was 4 months older before she got her first one. And I think the next one is coming soon. Yikes!

Here is a pic of us trying to get a pic of the tooth...it obviously didn't work:

Also today, Braden was so darn cute! He has this fascination with his shadow. So, this morning (January 14), be was dancing to the Doodlebops and Yo Gabba Gabba (his two favorite shows) in the living room and watching his shadow dance on the couch. I got some great pics. He has been doing this type of thing for a couple months. About a week or so ago, Trav got him on video dancing at night with his shadow in the hallway from the light that we leave on for the kids in the bathroom. It was totally cute! I love the way he plays and the littlest things amuse him.

Here is an adorable picture of him dancing....I laughingly call him my Peter Pan.

A pretty fun day and pretty eventful. Love these guys!!!
