Long time no blogs!

WOW! It has been forever since my last visit to blog-land! Since the last time I wrote things have been crazy on the homefront!

The kids started school. Noah is in 2nd grade and loves his new teacher. Avery is in 1st grade and is reading and enjoys her new friends. Paris is in her second year of preschool and is looking forward to being with her siblings at "big school". All in all the are doing great!

The second week of school I started a new job. The Abernethy Center is a local event facility in Oregon City, not far from Sandy. (abernethycenter.com) I am loving every minute of it!

Shortly after that the kids started soccer once again! Noah played with the 9 year olds this season! And played awesome! He just gets better and better each season. He really loves the game and as long as he loves it we do too! Dan was the head coach for his team and they really enjoyed the one on one time together. It took some getting used to at first for Noah to not treat Dan like and and treat him like Coach instead but once they worked out the quirks it was smooth sailing. Avery played too! She had a few friends from school on her team. Her good friend, Molly joined us this season. Molly's dad and grandpa coached and they all had a great time! Paris is really itching to play as well, but I just explain to her that "our family has only one mommy" so we will probably wait one more season until she plays as well! WHEW!! What are we doing? ;-)

Noah is a EIGHT!

My baby boy is EIGHT years old! I can't believe it...that means Dan & I are OLD! Noah had a blast for his bday. He invited several friends over to spend the night. (what was I thinking?) We had a total of 8 boys here to watch movies, eat pizza, play and stay up way too late! They had a blast but Noah had a soccer game the next afternoon...bad idea mom!
