Kiki's Baby Shower

We are SO excited that Kiki and John will be having a baby to add to our crazy clan! The kids are thrilled to have another cousin. He will be a bit younger than our kids but it will be nice to have a sister with a baby around! We are not sure of the little man's name yet but are sure that his room will be in Sock Monkeys so we just call him SOCK right now!
Kelly, Nikki, Samantha and I threw her a baby shower at our house and she was blessed to receive so many great gifts and have so many close friends able to attend!

Colson Enters the Soccer World

Two things that I said I would never do: 1) Drive a mini van and 2) Be a soccer mom....and...I DO BOTH!!!! Colson had mentioned early in the summer that he wanted to try to play soccer. We have always noticed that Colson was not a strong thrower or catcher of a ball but was kicking very well at a very young age. We decided to put him in this fall. We are very blessed to live near an amazing soccer league called Klein Soccer Club. It is a HUGE league that is organized and runs like a well-oiled machine! Colson was so excited to find out he is a Cheetah this year! He went to the first practice and found out that 2 boys on his team are his buddies in his class at school also. He was so excited to play with Trevor and Ethan! The team has 9 kids on it that have all played together in the past. We are the only new addition. There are two girls on the team because they play co-ed until the age of 7. The team has a few power house players on it. Colson is learning very well and is impressive considering it is his first time to play. He even scored a goal during the third game of the season! ONE PROUD MOMMA!
