Soccer Season is Here

Logan had her first soccer practice today and it was all I could do to stop smiling. Logan spent the third year of her life saying, "when I turn 4, I can play soccer." She has gone to soccer games pre-birth and today was FINALLY her day to shine. She laced up her cleats at 2:00, practice beginning at 4:30 and was in uniform, head to toe in Noah's old stuff from when he was four. She was SOO excited and loved every minute. During practice she would look over to me and shout, "Look mom, I'm playing soccer." She has spent her life cheering for Gary's team and Noah's team, now it was her turn and she didn't care that it was only practice, in her mind, it was the World Cup finals. Her uniform is purple and yellow, so of course I am so excited for her to wear it to Taylor's games. After practice we talked to her coach, who also happened to coach Noah a few years ago. He was amazed at how talkative Logan was and he thought it was funny how she would tell him, "I'm getting tired, Boy, I'm sweaty, " Surprise, surprise, another verbal Ross child. Logan's team name is McDonald's, Logan's absolute favorite restaurant. It only seemed fit that we take her to McDonald's for dinner to celebrate her soccer career beginning. Cheeseburgers are top on her list of things to eat and she got a BIG ice cream cone. The smile on her face was priceless and as I type she is sleeping in her jersey. I can't wait to see her in her first game. I am a proud mommy.

I think we said, "Go McDonalds!" for the first 15 minutes we were home last night. Even Lydia was joining in the chants.

I hope last night's fun is a glimpse into the rest of the season.

What's to come?. . .Future phone calls

Seriously, I am still laughing. I handed Logan her pink play cell phone that had gone through the wash. So as I was putting the laundry away (it had been over a week and the pile was about to tumble.) in the boys room, Logan made a phone call.(on the pink cell) Logan: Hey Desirae, how are you doing? Me: Logan, Mrs. Crouch is what you need to call her. She isn't your friend, she is Ella's mommy. Logan: Mommy, I am just talking with Dez. I just let it go because I was so tickled. It gets better. This is what I hear with long pauses in between. (I really grabbed Noah's sketch pad and wrote it down word for word) "I've been doing that for weeks." "Oh, you HAVE? Oh, Wow . . good for you!" "Isaiah, not now, I'm having a phone call." Then Logan makes her way into the boys closet, (I am still putting clothes away). I tell her leave the door open and get out of the closet. Her response, "Mom, just like you when you talk on the phone." ...

Today was Logan's photo shoot for her four year picture. Noah (seven years old) had his picture take a couple of weeks ago but I never posted them. Would you believe these were taken downtown. . . . Upland?? Traci Falder, (my running partner) has abandoned running with me to pursue her dream of starting a photography business. (no hurt feelings) She is extremely talented and I encourage you to check out her photography blog at tracifalderphotography.blogspot.com. In between these two photo shoots, I took Isaiah to JCPenny's for his picture because my membership runs out at the end of this month. After trying to keep my active 18 month old on a red dot, in a tiny room, with a billion props to look at, (but me not letting him hold any), it was all I could do to not walk out and call Traci to redo his pics. Which I will in the next week, hopefully:) When I first saw Noah sitting like this, I immediately thought this is exactly how Gary would sit. Traci told Noah to sit on this ben...

Baseball Season has Arrived

Noah as "Lead Off" Batter, which has become Coach Spiegel's nick name for him. This weekend we had a game Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Noah's team is 2-2 and Noah is having a great time. He is batting well and improving out in the field at his new position of pitcher. Last year he played third base and really liked that. Noah is learning to think about where he should throw the ball to get someone out BEFORE the other team hits. He has fielded well and then made errors in where he has or has not thrown the ball. This will come for him as he keeps playing. I hope this doesn't sound critical, I think Noah is a fantastic athlete for his age (I hope that doesn't sound braggy) I just want to journal where he is ability wise so we can look back and see where he improves over time. Noah at first base. Justin Singer as first baseman, a friend of Noah's from church and King's . Noah, Bailey Spiegel, and Conner Raikes. The Three Musketeers. Snow cone ...
