SOCCER & BDAY PARTIES!

Whew...I guess I have some catching up to do.  Since I have been back to work things have been a little busy!  Xavier is doing OK in his big boy class, but he still cries almost every time we drop him off!  Harper has been doing excellent being home with Steve or whoever is watching her!  She takes the bottle so easy and is happy all the time!  We also started soccer practice and had our first game this week!  Xavier's team totally won, but we really aren't suppose to keep score!  He did good the first half just chasing the ball and all the other kids, but the second half he became what is known as the "DAISY PICKER!"  Yes, he is the kid who sits in the middle of the field and picks the daisies!  We also went to Jaylen and Jensen's birthday party and Xavier was a little overwhelmed with all the girls and the princess castle bouncy house!  Most of the time he wanted to eat, bounce and pop the party balloons with his sword (aka stick)!  We also took a drive down to Alderwood and Xavier got to do his first Build-A-Bear.  He picked a black dog and dressed him in soccer clothes and we named him goalie!!  

I had to throw this random pic in the mix!  Remember making duck beaks with Pringles?

Xavier is in the red tank top....he refused to use the black and white soccer balls, he had to use his green one!

Laurie bought him this cape, hat and 2 swords...he is officially one of the 3 muskateers!
Harper is actually liking tummy time now 
"I'm not sure about this lady mom!!"  It's just Ya-Ya, Jaylen & Jensen's grandma no worries!
Ready...set...dive in!
quick, shove it all in my mouth at once so mom won't take it away!


Yes success...finished it in record time!

Great pictures of the kids. Wow, Harper is getting so strong. The outfit Laurie got him is great! My one question is, why is Aaron wearing a tank top...didn't he learn from Ed?

Ha! Aaron and his brother both were wearing wife beaters! I think it's a Nooksack thing!
