Posting again!

Yes, it's my monthly posting. Things just get busy and I forget to post. Sorry!

Soccer is in full swing. Cameron's team didn't have a coach, so I volunteered his Aunt Jess to volunteer coach and she accepted graciously. Cameron has not yet grasped the concept of 'dribbling the ball' and 'shoot and score'. He likes running around and chasing the birds on the other field or racing his teammate down the field when the ball is going the opposite way. Our team is made up of 4 boys and 4 girls. I have to say that the girls definitely "get it" while the boys like to fall down (on purpose) and run around. and around. and around. It's definitely a spectator sport, since the spectators are the ones laughing so hard or yelling at the top of their lungs "go the other way!!" We are half way through his games. He misses 2 out of the 6 games due to visitation with his dad and then his uncle getting married, which happens to be next weekend. Cameron will miss out on Halloween trick or treating, but we're planning on going to a couple of festivals so he can wear his Iron man costume, or his Spiderman or his Superman. He's not certain as to which super "dude" he wants to be.

Austin's soccer team is doing very well. He has been playing forward, defender and goalie. His regular season is over, but he has 2 tournaments coming up. Starting tomorrow night, his team is in a tournament so we have at least 3 games this weekend, maybe more if they advance to semi-finals and the to finals, plus a baseball game, plus a trip to the high school to demonstrate his "invention" from invention convention in which he won 3rd place. I guess I'll go grocery shopping around midnight! He was nominated and inducted into the Beta Club at his school a few weeks ago. And, he is about to start chess club. He has asked his principal about starting a chess club and the principal just happens to be a chess player himself, and has actually taught chess, so Austin is excited about the chess club! He is still enjoying the trombone. He can actually play a few songs now and is sounding much better than when school started!

That's about it for now, look for me to post again in about another month! Maybe I'll post earlier, I need to get some pics this weekend and I'll post them. Hopefully.

About Me

Austin is my oldest son. He loves most sports with a ball (especially baseball and football), used to take taekwondo, used to play the piano (when forced to practice), now plays the trombone,and is a very good chess player. I could go on and on here, but needless to say, I'm pretty proud of all his accomplishments. If this is what he does now, I can't wait to see what his future holds! My younger son is Cameron. He's 4 going on 30. His life is full of admiring his older brother, trying to be just like him, but also pestering him just as Austin pesters him. Cameron loves to eat and never misses a meal. He is into trains, trucks, just about any vehicle that he can "drive" or push as fast as he can go, likes to watch Little Einsteins, Barney, Spiderman, Stuart Little, and has now joined the Harry Potter club. He is also trying to see how far he can push my buttons. I think that is a normal 4 year old thing, maybe???
