Soccer




I think Boone has found his sport! He is playing soccer for the first time this year and he loves it! It is also the first time he isn't playing a YMCA sport - we are trying Upward Soccer through my sister's church. Mostly the same FIFA rules and a really positive environment for all the kids. It is also great that practices and games are very close to home and my nephew is playing too! That makes one stop shopping easier for us and grandparents.



Boone is really showing skills as a defender. His mission is automatically to run back and protect the goal (no goalies in his age group yet). He loves a break away run down the field too, but he's yet to score a goal that way. We still need some practice with foot control but he is having a great time! He is so excited for practice and games every week-never pouts or whines. Definitely fun for Josh and me to watch! Can't wait until little brother gets to play too!

Seahawks!

Wow - where has the summer gone? We took the boys to their first ever Seahawk's game this weekend. Good thing it was pre-season and the tickets were freebies! The boys loved taking the Sound Transit's Light Rail. Free parking and a cheap trip that let us off about a block from Qwest Field - what's not to love?


The stadium seemed empty until about 5 minutes before kick off - then it was packed! I love that field, the noise is great and so are the fans. Our seat offered a great view of a lot of dedicated season ticket holders and their great costumes. The wind kicked up so I bought a blanket and Boone and I snuggled. Brody cheered at all the right times during the game but was also very interested in bouncing on the seats and eating all of the redvines he could swipe!

They made it through half of the 4th quarter before we decided to head out and catch the train back to the car! Put a little dent in our wallets shopping at North Bend, especially in the Volcom Store. Lots of cute stuff for stylin' little guys and their dad!

Old News...

I am experimenting with grids so I made one of our camping trip to Juniper Dunes in April. Not so much camping as hanging out in the RV and having a few drinks while the boys played on their bikes. Good times anyway!

Who Doesn't Love Toto?


This is cool version my mom shared with me!
Listen for the thunder!


This one is Josh's favorite version. This guy's one
handed strumming is amazing!
