Scott's Goal

It was amazing. Scott scored his first soccer goal EVER last Saturday! You have no idea how long he has talked about this and how much he wanted to do it... And here is the proof:

Yes, I realize you can't actually see the goal in the video, but trust me, it was awesome! Scott has been asking for Just Dance, a Wii game, for about 6 months. So as an incentive (bribe) I told him that we would get the game if he made a goal. And after the game, Daddy took the kids to In-n-Out and ToysRUs to celebrate and get the game. And here are Scott and Daddy dancing to Can't Touch This:



This was so great for Scott. He was really ready to quit soccer because he thought it was too hard. So with this little accomplishment, I hope he is learning that with practice, he can do hard things.

C & H

The other day Charlotte and her BFF Heidi were playing, and this was the scene, which is very typical:

So as I'm sitting tonight, thinking about what to blog, I thought it would be fun to post pictures of my favorite twirling 4-year-old girls. From the time they were born, Charlotte and Heidi have shared the same love for princesses, Dora, baby suits (aka bathing suits) and other extremely fashionable outfits, dancing, Candy Land, and catchup. And fortunately I am a big fan of Heidi's mommy, which makes it even easier to let these cute girls hang out as much as possible. If you were to ask Charlotte if she would prefer to go to Disneyland or Heidi's house, it would be a REALLY tough decision... Aren't these girls adorable?

Why am I so happy?

Trevor turned 18 months old yesterday, which means he can now go into the nursery at church! Hallelujah! I can now wear my cute shoes again since I won't be chasing that cute-but-quick little guy around the hallways for 2+ hours. Trevor went in willingly today, and slept for half the time. So I consider that a BIG victory!

The Harvest

Our garden was not super impressive this year. We had mini-corn, gigantic zucchinis, one pumpkin, a few tomatoes (most of them Trevor picked while they were still green) and several jalapenos (which I am not quite sure what to do with). At least we tried! And the kids had fun watching things grow, so we'll just call it a "learning experience". Trevor and Charlotte did LOVE the raw corn on the cob, and I often would find one half-eaten in creative places...
