Weekend, Sports Games and Home Improvement

The weekend was good, We had Riley's 1st t-ball game! He was very serious it was a MAJOR diffrence from last year! This year he ran to get the ball and did not play in the dirt :) In fact as he was running to 2nd base he actually went after the ball to throw it to the other team and then proceded to run to 2nd base :)

Autumn had a great soccer game as well! She scored 5 goals YIPEEEE!!!! She actually played better this week. I am excited to see the diffrence! So after Riley game and befroe Autumn's we decided to go to the Home Depot to do the Kids Workshop they have for free! Well they were out of kits so we started looking around and decided we wanted to redo our kitchen! So the project is started and I am almost halfway there! My girl I am starting to tutor in Math will be here soon I gotta get ready for her SEE YA!

Bicycle riding, compliments, and stuff :D

Hey friends

First of all after I dropped my sweet angels off at school I ran to Target for some Kid free shopping/ browsing. I needed to get a few supplies for Sunday so as I walk in I am leisurly walking and decided to browse the Orginizing section of Target. While looking this lady said excuse me "I know you do not know me but"........ (I thought she was going to ask about the organizing supplies! Nope not what she said!) She continues with "The other day you were in here with your little boy and I heard him say something about when you get rich and you explained to him that we are RICH and money does not make you rich. True love, having fun and being close to God is being rich all the other stuff is just stuff" She then procedded to tell me that she had not heard such a good explanation is a LONG time and she was going to remember that when her kids ask. We proceeded to talk about diffrent things etc. (I felt like my friend who always meets others at Walmart so I had to ask if she went to church! She does BTW! Anyways we exchanged names and numbers so maybe we can go and have lunch or something I was suprised someone said or even listened to our conversation! She said she wanted to tell me something that day but didn't so when she saw me today she knew she had to say something! I felt like as a parent at least I am not screwing up my kids completly!!

OK on to other things: Today we went out The Exchange our new home church and we were organizing the kids supplies (A bunch of stuff had been donated and some was good and some was not) so I needed to weed through it. While there one of the Pastors and his kids drove up and his kiddos are 5 and 3 well last week the little boy was EXCITED that he was younger than Autumn and he could ride his bike with NO training wheels well my sweet Autumn was NOT up for a boy telling her that so today while there she was RIDING HIS BIKE WITH NO TRAINING WHEELS!!!! I am so stinking excited!!! And to top it off she got to (with 2 other boys) say the Pledges today over the loud speaker at school!!!

And we have had no BIG fights between the two for almost a week!!

Shannon I hope I get to see you while her in Texas!! And Kel call me ANYTIME!!!!!!!
