My Little Soccer Players

The kids have started soccer at the YMCA. They are having so much fun with it. Sofia is such a little go-getter and Ryan is a great dribbler. We had our first game this past weekend, although I had to miss it since I have a pesky cold. They did great and Sofia managed to score a goal (although possibly into the opposing team's net). Lots of fun was had by both of them and they are already looking forward to their next game!

Here are a few pictures:

Is it over yet?

Hurricane season that is. It looks like Hurricane Ike is coming our direction. I'm less than thrilled. I'm hoping it has a change of mind and decides TX is not the place to visit, or that it will unexpectedly weaken. Either way, I guess it's better to be prepared. SO tomorrow I will head out in search of batteries and flashlights. I also have to dig up our candles...

I hope everyone in it's potential path stays safe!

2 kids and a cave

Yesterday we ventured to InnerSpace cave, which isn't too far from here. The kids were all on board as we were meeting Olivia & family there. We got them explorer hats and boarded the cable car to be lowered down to the cave entrance. This all went fairly well until Sofia noticed that we were in a cave. For some reason she is less than fond of caves or dark unknown places. Somehow Derek managed to get her out of the cable car. He convinced to look for Tinkerbell (a.k.a. BATS). Let me just say that I don't like bats, I don't care how small and "cute" they are, I'm just not a fan. So it's safe to say that I was more freaked out by the little creatures zooming above our heads than the kids were. We made it through the whole thing with little incident, although there was a close call with a bat who aimed right at me, but I managed to dodge. I think the kids had a pretty good time.
