Birthday Catch-Up

I cannot belive that I never posted any photos from the kids' birthdays. Gabriel is 9, Victoria 8 and Lillian is 6. Time is just flying by and I wish I could just make it stop. Here are some photos.

Awards Assembly

It was the first awards assembly of the school year. Victoria received a Citizenship Award. Her teacher, Mr. Nichols, has been so impressed with how she has helped a student in her class who doesn't speak any english.

Soccer Season

Soccer has started. It seems like we just finished up soccer. Gabriel is the only one playing this year. I kind of like only having to keep track on his practices and games. He is really enjoying it and he has a great coach. We had him 2 years ago and Gabriel can only be on his team every other year. Gabriel has improved since last year. I really feel like the summer soccer camp does wonders for his skills.

We had our first game last weekend. Gabriel scored 4 goals and his team won 9-0. What a great way to start off the season! The other kids on his team did really well too and think we're going to have a wonderful season. Now that Gabriel is on a U10 team, there is a chance for championships and such. So our season could go on longer than expected.

4th of July

We had a very busy, but wonderful day. Victoria had a gymnastics exhibition. Since I took video the only photos I have are of the older girls on the beam. Then we went to a friend's house for a potluck lunch/dinner. There was so much yummy food. And our friends had bought little poppers for the kids to do. They had a ton of fun doing that and just playing. For fireworks we were invited to our friend's house. Their backyard faces where the fireworks go off. So it's so nice and safe and can enjoy without wondering if your kids will wander off. My fireworks photos didn't turn out too well because I forgot my tripod. Oh well.

9th Anniversary

We celebrated our 9th Anniversary. We spent the day in Tucson eating, shopping and going to a movie. It was such a nice day. We ended the day at The Melting Pot.

Swim Team

This summer we signed the kids up for swim team. They are all old enough and high enough in the swimming level. You have to be able to swim 25 meters in all 4 strokes to be able to participate. The have really loved it and are improving in their swimming. There are also swim meets on Saturday mornings. At first they didn't want to participate, but then changed their minds. We are so proud of them and hopefully will be something they do every summer.
