Great way to end a Season!!

We had our last soccer game, last weekend.  It was great to be done, and even better that we ended on a positive note.  This was the first year they aloud U8 to be competitive, and the first year Hurricane teams even played competitive. Boy was it a learning year.  Dean was the Soccer coach, and Preston loved having his dad do that.  We scored one goal the first game, and then that was it.  We wont talk about how many the other teams scored.  The last game however, we got not 1, or not even 2, but 3 Goals!!!!Yea!!! We were so excited.  Preston actually scored all 3.  I  don't know who was more excited the parents all screaming and jumping up and down on the sidelines or the boys.  I'm going to go with the parents.  It was a fun year, and we learned a lot.  Preston had fun, and that all that matters.

Preston's 2nd Grade play

5-3-2012

 Preston's 2nd grade class did an end of year play "Tikki Tikki Tembo".  To be honest I had never hear the story before.  It was fun to watch, and was about 20 minutes long which was perfect.  Preston was a boy named "Ping-Ping".  Yea I know.  Who was flying a kite hence the kite in his hands in most of the pictures.  He did have a line.  Which he definitely got the Eves gene for anything to do with acting.  (That is all I'll say on that matter). 

 After the play Preston got a picture with his Awesome teacher this year Mrs. Christian.  She has really work well for Preston and understands his personality so well.  We definitely lucked out.

 

And of course we have the fan club.  Thanks for the support Grandpa and Grandma.

Shaylee's Kindergarten Program

5-2-2012

 Shaylee had her Kindergarten program this year.  They always do the same program every year.  They do a patriotic program.  The kids love to decorate their own shirts, and wear them that night.  Shaylee sang so well she loves to preform with a group.  If she was by herself it would be a different story, but with others around her...she really got into it.  She sang beautifully and loud so we could hear her. She is getting so big.  The teacher had her move down to the front row about 1/2 way through the performance, and I could hear her telling her friends behind her that she was now boy trapped.  She makes me laugh. 

 They asked Preston to be in the color guard and be in charge of presenting the flag, and leading us in the pledge.  He did a great job.  I think I was more nervous then him, this was his first time doing it and in front of about 400+ people.  Good job Preston.

And of course all the adoring fans that came to support Shaylee and Preston.  Thank you.

Our Garden

 After the Soccer games on Saturday, we decided we better get our garden in.  We started a little late this year, but we should be just fine.  We loved our garden last year, and cant wait to try a few new things this year, and hopefully next year.  The kids get so involved and I love it.  This year the girls really, really wanted Strawberries, and Watermelon.  We knew that Strawberries didn't do so well down here in the heat, so we talked them into watermelon, boy were they excited to plant that one.  We got 18 tomato plants, we might go get 6 more to finish off the last planter box.  3 Squash and Zucchini. 2 pepper plants, 1 Red, 1 Green, 1 Jalapeno, Green onions, Cilantro, 6 cucumber plants, and last but not least 2 watermelon plants.  We hope the garden does well this year.  We've been praying everyday for it to grow....especially those darn watermelons. ha ha.

Hip Hip Horray!!

Girls Soccer

We finished the girls soccer season last Saturday.  They both had a great time, and loved being able to play together.  I loved it, because I didn't have to go to two different sets of games.  It was a beautiful day to play soccer.  It got up into the high 90's so it was a good thing our game was early at 8 in the morning.  Shaylee had about 6 goals, and Addison scored a goal this game as well.  Yea!!! They loved their coach, and team.  What a fun Year of Soccer.

Oh the EGG-citment of Easter

We had a great Easter Weekend. My sister Stephanie came down, and she brought a couple little friends (my nephews Jaden, and Tanner) they were on their spring break for the coming week. We started the fun out by going down to the mall Friday to look for a swimsuit for my mom. Grandpa decided to take all the kids to a park while my sisters and I helped my mom. We ended up laughing more then anything, and I think a few patrons walked out of the dressing room, after not wanting to hear my family. But, we did succeed and found not 1 but 2 swimsuits. Yea. Then we went and found the kid's rock climbing with grandpa, I did make it to the top, but did not like having to come back down. We got home called a babysitter, and headed to the "Hunger Games". I really enjoyed it, and thought they did a really tasteful job with what they had to work with. The next day we were up bright and early for the start of the city Easter Egg hunt. One word crazy!!! Then we came home, and had our own family Easter egg hunt. Which is always a big hit with the kids. Then we went to Lins in search of our Easter pictures we colored. We found them and got a prize. We then headed home for a BBQ. Then off to the Easter Car show. The kids had a great time going around saying which one was there favorite. We then hurried home, and got into the pool. Grandpa, kinda warmed it up for us a little bit, and the kids had a blast swimming the day away. The next day we woke up to see what the Easter bunny dropped off, then headed to church. After church we got together with family to eat and play some more. That night the kids came down and had a movie night and sleep over. We woke up Monday to a beautiful day, and decided to take advantage of the pool again. We pretty much swam the day away. What a great and relaxing way to end a long weekend.
