Soccer Soccer, more Soccer



As promised, here are some soccer pics of Kevin. He was so thankful to be able to live with such a nice family who would take him to soccer. It was "sad" to see him sit out last weekend, but in the end a much more grateful and obedient child emerged. :)

Soccer, Soccer, Soccer, Publix, and Construction

Soccer, Soccer, Soccer! I have been to 6 games in the last 8 days! Not to mention four practices... I am learning so much about the game. Good news is, it is really fun to watch my kids play. The surprise, Kendra is really good at soccer. She is not afraid to go in the mix, and get the ball. I am lucky enough to watch her practice on Thursday nights, and play in her games on Sat mornings.




Kevin practices on Tuesday nights. That is a Daddy practice so I do not have the pleasure of attending. Lucky Lowell gets to take Kevin on Tuesdays. Kevin has a great coach who has worked with kids before (you can tell!) Kevin is enjoying soccer. Many of my pic of Kevin did not turn out, because he was in on the action, and kept chasing the ball....



Jerome plays his game at the same time on Sat as Kevin. I sit between the two fields, and try to watch both games. Jerome is on a team with only 4 players, so they all play the game the entire time! He is so tired by the end of the game. He is really enjoying soccer.




After practice on Thursdays, we take a trip to Publix. I have had so much fun saving money! Here is just one of my trips...



Grandma and Grandpa were great sports and joined us at the soccer games this Sat. Kendra and Jerome were thrilled to play for Grandma and Grandpa. Kevin was learning a life lesson and was unable to play this Sat. as his consequence for several negative choices he made. He hopes to be playing again next week!



Lowell and I have been working ourselves silly making our house have 4 bedrooms. We added a wall, and cut out another wall for a door. Lowell was able to do the electric, too, and wow! we are tired! It has turned out great. All the kids are so excited to have their own rooms. I am happy that my house is almost put back together again... Almost.

One Busy Week!



Kevin was the Soccer Star this week, as Kendra and Jerome's soccer practice was rained out. Kevin can't wait for Lowell's day off for a soccer photo shoot!

Kevin did a nice job at school taking the FCAT this week. Fingers crossed for a 5 in reading and math this year...



I was thrilled to let Lowell take Kendra to the salon to get her hair done. He was finally able to experience the 5 hour wait for her hair to be done. I giggled to hear that Kendra requested beads be put on her braids... that's my girl! As soon as they got home (just hours before Kevin's first soccer practice) Lowell set up the photo equipment, and Kendra had her smile on!



Jerome was cute as a button (not that 12 year olds like to hear their moms' say that) but he was so sad when a staff member from his school moved back to CA to be near her family. He burst into tears while telling me. My sensitive young man... He is over the moon about soccer practice starting this week... hope he still likes it after a week of practice. Kevin seemed concerned that it might require some work, and practice. :)
