Soccer!

Ok, so this may be a bit too many soccer pictures, but hey....

Isaac soccer practice.

The Funny Run.

 The "Ker Pow" Kick.

 The "Body Slam". (total accident)

 The Determined Get-By

 The Handsome Soccer Stud. 

Parent tunnel at the end of Isaac's soccer game.  Kids run through and high five the other team.

 The rest are Olivia's.  I was a bit nervous with putting her in soccer, but she has turned out LOVING it....which is totally great and amazing!  This is a practice. Whatever her and this little boy were doing, no one else was doing it...

 Her and the team. Coach Travis is a wonderful, patient coach.

 We get to see the Stringfellows each week since Elaina is on the team too.

 These next few are from her first game.

 She's number 16.  I like the pony tail swish.

 Grandma and Grandpa came.

 This is great for her sweet nature.

 Olivia has scored once so far. This was coach congratulating her.  14 got in the way of the picture at the last second.

 Water break.

 You can barely see Olivia in the picture, but I think it's cool they pray together as a team.

 Just a random funny. Elias is learning how to use scissors.  I'm so proud of him. :-)  (They are really just play doh scissors....don't worry.)

Getting bigger.....

Fowler Fiesta

My sister Tara visited for about a month while her husband was home studying for a big test that most people take 6 months to study for....but he studied 3 weeks and PASSED!!!! Whoop whoop!

So here are the adventures of the time.

Issac had a fish restaurant in his box and was handing out fish for everyone to eat.

Boat ride.  Everyone stayed in the boat this time! (Poor Connor!)

Fires and marshmallows of course!

After the initial burst of flames from the highly flammable yard waste, the fire went to almost nothing which made for a challenging roasting time, or lack thereof!

Do you see the spark?

And if you can't roast em, shoot em!

Hanging from the back of dad's chair. Looks like fun!

Tara gave me a trim while here. I cut Olivia and Elias's hair while we were at it since Tara bought some new actual hair cutting scissors (something I've never used before). I may invest in some myself, they were amazing!

Volcano attempt. The bottle was too big and nothing actually came out, but it was still exciting. 

It was great to have nice enough weather to eat outside.

Free ice cream at Brusters in our pjs.

Marking the boiled eggs.

Frozen yogurt treat.

We had a birthday party for William and Logan once Will got here. Both are on the same day. Will, I mean Logan is really into trucks so he got a monster truck cake.

We claim these guys!

Updated family photo.

Isaac wanted me to catch him in mid air. The boys used Olivia's bed to jump from while she was at school.

Ok, so I may be a little embarrassed now that there is proof, but it was fun while doing it. This is how I went to a girl's dinner party my neighbor had while her husband was out of town. I was the only one dressed like this. And I knew I would be. I did it on purpose. Thanks to Olivia's dress up box, I looked simply dashing.

And this is what Elias does all by himself. What a stud!

Bundles of JOY! (and joel and james...ha ha)

March - Soccer, Gramp/Nana, & Other Stuff

Box Monsters

 Hiking at House Mountain again.

 Sweet ride.

 Olivia's friend Sarah came with us.

 Played teeter totter on this log.  It worked better when Justin was on one side!

 Tooth almost out.

 Tooth out!

 After a freezing cold time of delivering girl scout cookies on a snow day, we came home and got our fuzzy socks on.

 And made cookies...with our fuzzy socks.

 And danced on tables...with our fuzzy socks. (and were then told to stay off the table)

 Ate the cookies...with our fuzzy socks.

 One of Olivia's school papers.

 Has this one been on here before?  Couldn't pass up the smile!

Gramp and Nana came to visit a few weeks back. Very fun! This was Mouse Trap with Nana.

 Isaac's first soccer game.

 His teammate Austin.

 His coach. Aww...

Coach pep talk.

 Other coach responsibilities. 

 My snuggle bug.

 Playing on Nana's phone.

 Olivia had to work some cookie booths outside Walmart for girl scouts.

 Whata saleswoman!

Those were all the pictures I got on my camera but we also had fun hiking with Gramp and Nana and playing at a park while driving around Maryville.  Thanks for coming! We really enjoyed seeing you guys!
