Flag Football

Connor has been loving flag football. He scored his first touchdown last game. He also threw a touchdown pass. He told us that defense is his favorite part. He loves pulling the flags. One of the videos shows his touchdown but we weren't prepared so you can't see it very well. Sorry about my screaming in the background of all of the sports videos. I forgot about the sound.

Ashlyn Dancing at Home

Ashlyn is the second girl in the video. She spends most of her time behind another girl so most of the video you can only see part of her. We were just happy she did it. She wouldn't even dance at the dress rehearsal. I will post a video of her dancing at home too--without the music. I was impressed with how much she remembered considering she only participated in two practices. I am not sure I will win the fight against dancing and cheering. She spent the whole first quarter of the game begging to watch the cheerleaders. Whose girly girl is this?

Ashlyn Singing

This is our attempt at a family blog. We will try to keep it updated. After a very busy summer we are getting back into a normal schedule. Well, once swimming lessons are over we will. Connor is liking 2nd grade now. He loved his teachers so much last year that he had a hard time getting used to his new teacher. I think he liked the variety of team teachers. He is looking forward to starting football next week. Logan and Ashlyn are both loving their new schools. Chad and I are loving the 2 hours of free time. Logan was so excited to start Kindergarten. To make it even better, his best friend is in his class! He is loving every second of school. He also loves riding the bus. He wants to walk to his bus stop by himself. He is growing up too fast. Logan just started AYSO soccer. He is a superstar! He is so fun to watch because he is so animated. He just lights up. One time when he got a breakaway he started giggling so the other kids caught up with him. Last week he scored the only goal. Even though score wasn't being kept he was very disappointed that his team "lost". He informed me that it was because his shoes were too small and that maybe everyone elses were small too and so they couldn't run fast. We got him bigger shoes and sure enough this week he scored 3 goals and his team "won". Maybe everyone else got bigger shoes too. Ashlyn is loving preschool. She comes home and recreates preschool. She rings a pretend bell and tells everyone what to do. She is still our girly girl. She loves everything princess and barbie. I don't know where we got her. She is our singer and dancer. We will try to put on a video of her singing princess songs. Ashlyn is looking forward to Jr. Cardinelles (Northridge High's drill team) this week. It will be a busy week but it will be fun to watch her.
We will try to add pictures and more video soon.
