Four More Feet

I am so excited to be at this house, I can't stop wagging my tail - My name is Benny right now, but my new "people" might change it soon. They are taking name suggestions.

More Soccer 5/30/09

Kurt likes to pick the grass or play tag when he is out of the game...at least he is not doing it while he is playing anymore - or pouting for that matter.

Posing for the camera.

Ready for the shot!

Kurt continues to get better at soccer. He is more of a defensive player than an offensive player. He is just not that aggressive yet. Today he had a great save at the goal. One of his own teammates came charging to the goal, gave a hard kick, and it was stopped by Kurt. He was ready.

Planting Some Flowers

Kurt was busy in the yard this weekend. I was off weeding a different part of the yard and I left him "digging." He came to me very proud saying that he was planting the flowers. He had the right idea but left them in their plastic containers. My personal favorite was the 9 flat planted together.

Zoo Trip

We took the boys to the zoo since the weather was beautiful! The Dinosaurs Alive Exhibit was well liked but a bit scary. Kurt even got to control the head, tail, and make it roar. Any time the dinosaur roared, he would jump. Of course the Ape House was also a big hit. Matthew was interested and kept calling everything a dog.

It isn't a good trip until everyone passes out in the car.

More soccer

Here are some more pictures of Kurt in his official uniform! We will take some more pictures of him playing soon. He is not quite ready for the pros, but he is trying harder now (at least in the first half).

Jim's Birthday

Kurt picked out Jim's birthday cake. I don't think there could be any more chocolatey of a cake.

Matthew is Walking

Kurt - Soccer

Kurt warms up before his practice game - with the purple ball of course. Playing great defense and pouting all at the same time. He had a "save" this week in the first official game.

Kurt just started playing soccer this past week. He is on the orange team. Stay posted for more pictures of him in his uniform. He might fit in it until he is 10 years old!

Matthew's First Birthday Party

Matthew's first birthday party followed his Baptism. He thoroughly enjoyed his cake, but it did take him a little while to get into it.

Matthew's Baptism took place Sunday, April 26. We were lucky enough to have a lot of family present. He did very well and waved to the entire congregation when he was walked around.

Kurt's 4th Birthday Party

Kurt and some of his silly friends.
Guess how many M&M's are in the jar.

Bus Stop Game - Everyone wins!!

Chocolate cake of course...

Kurt had a great time at his Cars Party. Although we had pouring rain, I think the kids had a great time! We'll have to play the "Don't Wake the Tractor" game another time.
