Score!!

Finally a soccer game. Mason scored a goal on Saturday and Valynn had some good blocks when she played goalie. The kids had fun playing and after their games we hurried home to have supper with some friends.

Sunday's soccer games were canceled because of the rain. We went into town for supper and then got the kids their present from the Easter Bunny, a basketball hoop. Now hopefully we'll get some nice weather so we can play outside. We were able to get a few things done outside before the rain came on Sunday, Mark tilled the garden and planted grass seed around his garage. On Friday I weeded the strawberries and blueberries and some of my flower garden. We hope to get the garden in soon, if only the weather will cooperate. Doesn't Kyra look angelic when she naps? You can also see how much Kyleigh enjoyed the soccer games. We're experiencing some wacky weather today, we will get rain for a few minutes, then sunshine, then it hailed for a few minutes, and then the sun came out, then it hailed again for a few minutes. I guess we'll see what the rest of the day brings. Have a good week.

Whirlwind of a first day.

We got the outside items taken care of yesterday morning (garden and unloading the suburban) before it got too hot outside. It was a heat index of 109 degrees. Just a little warm. We got most of our unpacking done and then had some unexpectant company. We babysat for some friends while they went to the hospital. The kids had a great time with Alex and Kyle. Valynn and Mason played with Kyle (8 weeks) and stated how they can't wait until their sibling is born. Kyra could take or leave him. She pretty much ignored him except when she woke up from her nap and I couldn't hold her because I was feeding him, then she gave us a dirty look and sat next to me on the couch. Chantel had us over for supper which was nice, that way I didn't have to cook with 5 kids. I then had a MOPS meeting and took Kyle with me while Mark watched the other four. This morning we woke up to a terrible thunderstorm. 70 MPH winds and lots of thunder and lightning. The wind blew the top of our lamp post off and broke a couple of the side panels of it. Otherwise just a few branches down. Our garage door wouldn't open this morning, that remains to be seen if it was due to lightning or not, but through it all we didn't lose power. I best get back to work, I'm making meals with the neighbor ladies tonight and have company coming this afternoon.
