No more soccer, no more school ~ what are we going to do?

Our soccer season finished the last Saturday in May.  It was a bitter sweet experience.  I really loved taking Noah to soccer practice, watching him interact with his team mates, get better ball handling skills and just have fun.  The soccer matches were great fun too.  Everyone would set up on the sidelines with chairs, umbrellas (not for rain, to keep the sun away!) we would bring our gazebo so the boys could sit under and cool down at water breaks.  It really was so much fun.  On the other hand, it is a welcomed break.  The season came at a really busy time.  As I said bitter sweet.  So here are some (warning: 'some' mean quite a few!) photos of Noah's season.

Not only did soccer finish, but school finished on June 3rd. Noah just loved his first year of school.  He had a lovely teacher and great friends!  He found out that there are only 4 of his class friends moving to his new class next term, but still he's excited.  Here is the highlights of his kindergarten year:

I still can't believe that my oldest child has completed one full year of school.  Crazy!

I've been looking forward to the summer so much.  Not having to get up early (did I mention I'm not really a morning person; I just don't like being woken up by my alarm clock...I mean who does?).  Also my parents came into town the same day schools got out!!  Hence, I forgot to post this earlier.  So my next post is going to be about our shenanigans, along with lots of photos, naturally!

Easter Fun

We really loved having a week off for Easter Break!  It was very much needed, for all of us.  I love having Noah at home.  He's such a great help and now that he's older, he's a real good buddy for me.  We have really great, grown up conversations, I love it.  We just really enjoyed family time, seeing old friends and eating lots of chocolate.  Isn't that what school breaks are all for?!  Here are a few photos of our fun.

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy. View from our front door Noah trying to make a snow angel.  The snow had unfortunately frozen, because of freezing rain, but it did make a little indent. Noah p...

Noah's Baptism

Image
It really is great to be 8!  Our handsome Noah has been looking forward to this day for over a year now.  In our church you are able to get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the age of 8. We believe that Baptism is an important first step to returning back to our Heavenly Father and to be able to eventually live together forever.  (For my non LDS friends you can read more about baptism and our religion here .)  We have been planning for a few weeks some of the things he wanted and he was super excited because both his grandparents were able to visit for his special day. He was baptized on his birthday by his daddy and the given the gift of the Holy Ghost by daddy too.  We had a small gathering, but enjoyed a yummy ice cream bar afterwards, Noah's request! :) We are so proud of him.  Noah is growing up to be a fine young man, he's caring, loving, intelligent, humble, crazy (the good kind :), there is never a dull mom...
