This weekend was a crazy one for us. We celebrated my Grandpa's 80th birthday together as a family, and also got to spend some quality time with our niece and nephew, Cara and Collin. The kids had a great time playing together. We hosted our babysitting co-op at our house on Saturday night. Brandon did the powerpoint presentation at church on Sunday, and I read Scripture in the service. We crammed a lot into one weekend, but had fun doing it.
Connor started soccer on Saturday and he LOVES it. He is playing through Upward Sports and his team name is the Lions. Brandon is the official coach of the Connor's team (no, he's never played before, but he's a fast learner) and Connor is SO excited that his Daddy is out on the field with him (he is just sure that his Daddy is going to "get a whistle and wear a black and white shirt" eventually). Connor did a great job out on the field and has already asked repeatedly when he's going to get to play soccer again. He came home with a soccer uniform that included socks and a new water bottle. You know how much our son loves accessories, so this was a banner moment for sure!!
Connor has also gotten into answering the phone recently. Fair warning to those of you who call. He does really well, but unless he knows you, he will assume you are one of my students. That tells you a lot about how last semester was for us. :)
Speaking of my students, 54 of them have passed boards, which means we have only a handful of them that still have to take. We have, unfortunately, had a couple who have been unsuccessful, but I am optimistic that our pass rate will be better than people thought it would be. We have a few more taking over the next couple weeks, so please say a prayer. God has been very, very good.
Kylee is still keeping us on our toes...if you ask her how old she is, she will tell you (VERY emphatically) that she is four. If you try to tell her that she is two, she will collapse on the floor and cry (Brandon has done this a couple times purely for his own enjoyment). Our favorite part of this whole exercise is that when she tells you she's four, she holds up one finger.
Life is good.

Yeah for Connor!
And how funny of Kylee. When we ask Sophia how old she is she says "Six in March." I guess two just isn't a fun age for anyone!
I think Kylee, Sophia and Jackson could make a pretty interesting group of 2 yr olds!! Dawson was across the street at our neighbor's house tonight and I hollered out the door for him to come home. Jackson went and opened the door and yelled at Dawson about every 30 sec. after that until he came home. He is becoming VERY bossy and independent. And those meltdowns sound way too familiar!
I am rolling on the floor laughing at miss Kylee!!! I can just imagine. What a fun age. Glad Connor is liking soccer. I do seem to remember back in the days (like 3rd grade) when his father was quite the soccer stud on the playground at good ol' Soderstrom elementary. I seem to remember Connor's mother and I cheerleading on the sidelines??!! Those were the days!! Thanks for the giggles.

What fun it was to read your accounts of what's happening these
days. I really had to chuckle at
Kylee (and her mean daddy teasing
her ;)
Way to go, Lindsey, in getting those students to pass their boards!! What a good mentor you are.
Not surprised that Connor loves soccer. What I'm wondering, though, is how does daddy like
coaching?
