Busy weekend

We had a fun but busy weekend. Aren't they all?! A few soccer games, house cleaning, grocery shopping, walks with Sadie, making slime and a hair cut for Owie!

I cannot say enough how truly impressed I am with Emmy and her soccer skills! I thought she'd hate it and even she admitted she played so she could hang out with Riley. Well, to all of our surprise, not only does she love it, she's really good! I've never seen her hustle so fast, be so aggressive and committed. I am so unbelievably proud of her.

A family affair - even Sadie came to Ryan's game!

Owen thinks he is so cool at the top of the playground

Pre game pow wow

His laugh never gets old

We rode our bikes to CVS to buy ingredients to make slime. Emmy's been watching you tube videos so was armed with a list. 

$40 later - we had ourselves a gigantic MESS. Emmy quickly learned science experiment #1 - no only do you need to know what ingredients you need, you also need to know measurements. 

OMG. 

Me and my littlest buddy

Handsome haircut!

These past few weeks have been CRAZY busy! Between soccer, gymnastics, school, homework, work, house, etc., we've had every minute accounted for. Josh has been in napa all week and I successfully tackled 5 days alone - with no wine.

Some pics from the past few weeks.

We met the DeWinters at the park for movie night. So fun!

Its been hot so we pulled out all the water toys :)

Oh Emmy... 

Fun for all! Ahahaha

This little dude is officially 18 months. A very bitter sweet day - no more baby.                          Boooo hooooo   sniff sniff 

Ryan had Zachary's bday party one day after school. He had  BLAST!

Owen does everything the kids do now. And every time I tell him to say cheese he smiles. :)

Dinner on the couch - a special treat when daddy is out of town ;) 

Emmy had to pick an instrument to play and she chose the Viola! We all had to go pick it up the other night. She's super excited. I hope she likes it!

I was quickly reminded that I was that asshole parent who continues to bring extra clothes to Owen's class. He was sent home in size 3 months pink pants that were slip up the side so his legs could fit. I loved how Kindercare is so boldly written on the bum, as if I might keep them? Ahahahah

The crew in the mornings. 

Soccer Season!!

The kids started playing soccer this year. I knew Ryan would love it because he loves every sport, but I wasn't sure about Emmy. She hates running! To my surprise not only does Emmy love it, she's playing so well! She's running hard, being super aggressive and even scored a goal last weekend. I am so proud of her. Josh is coaching her team and is taking the role very seriously. He's mapped out drills for practices, positions for games, purchased all of the necessary gear and is in constant communication with parents. Ryan also scored a goal his first game and runs the ball down the field like a pro. Owen has been a trooped and even pushed his nap to 2p to watch two games the first weekend. I am so proud of everyone!!

Ry-guy is #8 on the right

Always charging!

Ahahaha

Emmy is #10 running the ball down the field

Coach Josh!

Emmy actually really like playing goalie too

Josh recruited Todd to be his assistant

Emmy right before she scored her first goal!

We took the girls and Ryan out to lunch last weekend and to UC yogurt after the games. So fun!

Cousin Fun

We just finished up another fun weekend with the Sonoma Lawrences! Zach and Amy celebrated their 15 year anniversary down here and the boys flew in for the weekend. We spent every day at the beach, the kids played lots of games, tag, nerf guns, iPads, etc. They all had a blast and I am exhausted! The kids all play so well together it is amazing and so fun to see :)

The Lawrence crew.

Kids table

Brothers who drink manhattans together...

I took all 5 kids to the kids to the park one day and they all had to climb all over this broken tree branch - even Owen!

BEACH TIME! Sand Monster was out in full effect

Emmy and Dylan swam in the waves forever

Of course Owen had to try too!

But the best was him boogey boarding. I should have kept the video going to show he hopped up without a tear and jumped back on again!

The girls were out numbered this trip 

My handsome dude
