Soccer is in Season

The soccer season began tonight for Cooper.  He had played a little in pre-school, but wanted to try it out for real.  He did so well to have never played before.  I wish I was one of those people who can publish a few pictures and be satisfied, but I'm not...so prepare yourself for an abundance of pictures!

a kick and a miss!

so handsome

they had to kick the ball around the field and kick over a cone.  Once they kicked the cone, they were to dribble back to the start line and place the cone there.

Cooper is going to do so well this season.  I can't wait to watch him learn!

Pictures were finally posted from Greg & Reagan's date night at Chick Fil A last week.  They were so cute!

2014 Lucky Kidney

This morning, Greg and I competed in, completed a 6k run/walk to benefit the East TN Kidney Foundation.  My company was one of the sponsors of the race and paid all of our entry fees.  Our team had the largest contingent at 122 runners.  Greg and I had a goal to finish under an hour and we did it!

Girl Scout Cookie Time

Reagan worked her first booth of the cookie season this afternoon.  She has done a great job selling cookies!

After the cookie booth, Greg had a very special evening planned for the two of them.  Chick-Fil-A was having their annual daddy/daughter date night, so Greg made reservations for him and Reagan.  He said they had the tables nicely decorated and had waitresses to come and take their orders.  They had a great time, even if I didn't get to take pictures of them!  They did have their photo made, but we wont have it for a couple of weeks!

While Greg and Reagan were out to dinner, Cooper and I had our own date.  He chose IHOP!  

we had lots of fun!!!

Celebrating 100

While celebrating the 100th day of school recently, the kids were asked to write what they would be doing and draw what they would look like at 100.  Here are Cooper's answers...

"I can be in the army"

 He still looks pretty good for 100 years old!

Beautiful

As part of her spelling work each week, Reagan has to define the words, show pronunciation, draw a picture and write two sentences for each word.  One of her words last week was beautiful.

Her 2nd sentence says:

"My daddy thinks I am beautiful in everything"

...her mommy does too!

Bible Lesson

We asked Reagan what she learned at church this week...
