Pool Party

After Kaelyn's game we headed to the pool for an end of the season celebration. The weather was PERFECT for swimming! It took forever for us to get the girls out of the pool.

 

 

 

More Spring Soccer

 

 

 

Kaelyn sure has some great footwork and speed. She is really coming along in the soccer world. It is so much fun to watch her out there on the field.

Spring Soccer!

Spring Soccer officially ended yesterday. Kaelyn does have one more game next weekend, but it isn't an official league game. We really enjoyed soccer this season and are sad its over.

 

 

 

 

Bryn got a chance to play up for this last game. So she played with a U9 team and had a blast. The field is bigger, and there are a few more girls on the field. Bryn fit right in and even had a few attempts at the goal. I think she'll do just fine next season. Kyle has already committed to coaching again. haha.

Happy Mother's Day!

My husband is a poet. Who knew? I woke up this morning to a stellar breakfast with a card Kyle had made. Inside the card was a poem he had written (I got his permission to share):

To my beautiful wife

With whom I share the most wonderful life.

Who showers my family love,

The purest kind granted by God from above.

Tis you who binds our family together

No matter the storm, I know we will weather.

For richer, for poorer, in sickness and health, 

We've done them all, now lets try for wealth. 

God has blessed me beyond measure

At such a young age He gave me such a treasure.

The woman of my dreams to marry 

And the children she would carry. 

My life is filled with such joy,

When I see you, two girls and a (soon 2) boy. 

I see that there has been a richer man never, 

That you complete me now more than ever. 

I must stop now, before my eyes become wet, 

You have waited to long for a new bedding set. 

Love always and forever, 

Kyle

Making time for RnR...

Why is it time for some RnR you ask? Well i'm recovering from a surgery that went extremely well and I'm so glad I had it done. Its been a long time coming and I am going to be even better than before once i'm all recovered. I'm actually excited for that. I didn't realize the recovery would be so hard...doc said i'd be tired, but I was planning on being the exception to that "rule". Uh, nope. I tire soooo easily, its nuts. Not being able to drive and get out of the house is hard. I'm going a little stir crazy. I did find this poem that made me laugh, so I thought i'd share...

You did your job 

Through puberty

Through childbirth 

And recovery

You held my babies

Safe and sound

And stretched yourself

All big and round

But now my friend

Your job is through

I find myself not 

Needing you 

Don’t need the pain

The aching back

The periods that are

Out of whack

And so my friend

Its time you know

You and your fibroids

Have to go 

The doctor is going to 

Put me to sleep 

And you’re one of the parts

I just can’t keep

Goodbye, old friend

You served me well

Before you started to

Ache and swell

I’ll remember you 

On the anniversary

Of the day I had

My hysterectomy

I’ll brush a tear

From my cheek

As I remember the days

When you didn’t leak

And as I live a 

Pain-free life

I’ll toast the doctor

And his knife!
