Happy Spring!

Awards

Today was a happy day for our family! Zack earned The Principal's List award by earning 95% or higher in ALL of his classes. And this mama is proud cause I didn't help him a bit. Way to go son!

Sophia earned The Whitt Wolf Award today. As far as I can tell, it is a citizenship and effort award granted to kids in kinder and first grade. They don't get letter grades for kinder and first out here in Texas so this is the next best thing to an honor roll type of award from what I can tell.

The kids have adjusted well to life in Texas, and this past Monday we moved into our new house where they each have their own bedrooms. They're loving life. I am loving all of the closet space, and the fact that I don't have to share a bathroom with the kids anymore! They're not incredibly messy, but they are smelly! LOL

I'll post pics of our new digs sometime in the near future. I PRAY we are here for a minimum of 4 years. Next on my list is to secure a teaching position. I begin attending job fairs at the end of this month. Keep me in your prayers!

Grandma, Aubrie, and Torie came to cheer Zack on today! Sophia's award ceremony was at 8:00AM which was way too early for the "babies"! :) Zack was thrilled!

Soccer Season has Begun!

Here are a few pics of today's games! Zack had to be on the field at 7:00AM! Luckily, the past two weeks their games have been one right after the other.

Sophia is on the Princesses! They play together very well!

Sophia is amazing on the field! She scored 6 goals today. I can't believe I have kept her on the "bench" for so long. She just intuitively knows how to get that ball in the goal and has the drive and speed to make it happen. PLUS, she has a ton of fun while doing it and is a super great team player!!!

Zack is on the Sharks this year. He is enjoying his second season of soccer and using his "fancy" foot skills.

He often dribbles the ball from one side of the field to the other and is working on executing a goal. He wants it so bad but gets just close enough for the other team to chase him off.

Here is his familiar angry face. He gets so frustrated that his team doesn't score more goals. In all fairness, they have only practiced twice together due to rain.

The kids lives are full of school and soccer right now. They are also eagerly anticipating our moving into our new home in which they will each get their own bedroom. They are jazzed! Just another benefit of living in Texas. :) AND, content kids create a happy mama!
