Jane's birthday!

We had a birthday party for Jane. She had 7 friends come and we did a "mommy & me" music class. Jane loved it. Bubbles at the party!
Jane was all about the present opening! She was so excited to get some cute "girly" things!

We had a family birthday party tonight with the kids. Jane totally enjoys singing happy birthday to herself!Happy Birthday to my sweet baby girl!

Happy Birthday Grandma!!!

Cameron's soccer is officially over. Happy day! The rain has come, the weather cold, and I'm glad we don't have to sit out in it anymore! This is a few shots from the last game...sunny amazingly enough! I didn't bring my camera to any other game so they are kindof funny pictures!
Cameron did have a great season this year. It was really fun to watch the games. It's amazing how the skills jump from age 5-6 to 7-8. These guys can get pretty intense at times! Here is Cam with his coach, Coach Tom. Funny thing is, we didn't volunteer to coach, they were desperate for help this year. So Tom said he would do it (this was a week before the first game and after all the teams were set). Well, come to find out, we aren't even on the team we sponsored! Even more ironic, Tom is coaching the OTHER pediatric dentists sponsored team. By the time we found out, it was too late to change anything. Oh well! Tom was a really good sport about it and just laughed it off.
We were lucky to have our cousin Max come to visit us from Las Vegas. He had a bit of dental work that needed to be done. One frequent flyer later, we got to spend all weekend with him! The boys LOVED it!

Jane decided Saturday night she wanted to sleep in her big girl bed. We've had this set up for a few weeks and suddenly the other night she was crying in her crib saying "big bedroom". I put her in here, mostly for kicks to see what she'd do, and she fell right asleep. Next night, same thing! Is this a foreshadowing of the future? When she decides something, she does it. All of the sudden she has to be the one to put her shoes on, she has to pick out her clothes (although if I distract her enough I can get what I want on her), she has to get out of the car by herself. Everything is "my do it".
But who can resist those blue eyes and white curls?

One down...

After 2 months of soccer games taking over our Saturday mornings, Braden's season is over. He did amazing! He was by far, the most aggressive player on his team (yes, I am talking about Braden) and scored at least 2 goals per game. Yesterday he scored 4...just wanted to end the season on a high note! It has been SO fun to watch him grow and come into his own. He had so much confidence this season and really just fell in love with the game of soccer. I'm really proud of him. He needed a season to be the best, and not be in his brothers shadow. Here he is getting his trophy.

And here is a clip I took of him scoring a goal. Glad to catch it on camera!

I wanted to post this picture of my boys...this is where they hang out with our neighbor, Ryan. We have since moved the tramp by the fence so they jump off the fence and land on the trampoline. When Ryan wants to play, he climbs up onto his fence and yells Braden's name till someone comes to the back door to tell him if they can play. It's pretty cute.

Jane picking flowers in front of our house. This was one of the last warm days of the year. We went to the pumpkin patch and animal farm. Jane LOVED it! Of course, every picture of her with an animal she turned away when I snapped it!
And finally, Tom's new baby...

A Lemon.That's the size of the baby right now. So why is it I'm only 14 weeks and TOTALLY feeling like I want to slip into those comfy maternity clothes? Unfortunately, my pride won't quite let me. Give me 2 more weeks and anything goes!

April 6th...my due date. And YES...we're really excited! :)
