Where, oh Where has All the Time Gone?

I have neglected this blog.  There is no excuse for it, I have an iPhone and should be updating this thing all the time.  My excuse: I do better thinking and writing on my computer.  Oh, and I am super busy. 

Me update:

Last year I met a sweet, caring, and handsome guy, Chad.  After getting to know each other, we introduced our kids and everyone hit it off.  We began spending more and more time with each other.  I am sure you have seen them mentioned before.  A year after our first date, Chad proposed to me, and we are planning for a November 3rd wedding.  Yes, November of this year!  So I am busy planning a wedding. 

After taking classes all summer, I am now teaching 6th grade science!  It is a refreshing change of pace.  I have been busy learning the curriculum and getting to know my 100 new students this year.  I also play chauffeur to Aiden.


Kids update:

Aiden is super busy going to preschool at Northside Elementary in Geneseo every single morning.  He loves his teachers, and I hope they love him.  And yes, he does ride the short bus.

He also keeps busy with fall soccer and swimming lessons. 

He still carries his three dogs around, but he also enjoys playing with his real dog, Soxi.  Yes, our first pet...  Not sure what I was thinking!  We got her at the end of July, she is a Miniature Pinscher.

Aiden turned 5 in September and decided to have another baseball birthday party.  This year he wanted the White Sox.  His future step-sister Brooklyn may have persuaded him a little.  

Sweet Jaylee has grown so much.  She is out of her crib and in a big girl bed.  (Should I mention her bed is a king size?)  She loves to play with her pink Power Ranger figure, dolls, and Legos.  She also loves terrorizing the poor dog! 

Aiden's Second Soccer Game

Aiden had his second soccer game today.  He was the leading scorer...for the other team.  He scored not one, but two goals for the opposing team.

Showing off his legs...not sure why?

Half Time=Snack Time! 

Aiden's First Soccer Game

Aiden had his first soccer game today.  He missed practice this week due to illness.  He caught on fast.  He is number five and he plays for the Red Fire.  He has two awesome coaches, Coach Mike and Coach Bri. 

Goalie!

Watch the ball, Aiden!

Look at that kick!

Getting ready to kick off!

Team huddle!

This one cracks me up, he was asking when the next practice was... :)

Last Home Soccer Game

Every Thursday night, Jaylee, and Aiden would hop in the stroller and I would push them to watch the high school boys play soccer.  We went to cheer on Shawn D, and would usually lave at half time.  Aiden's favorite part of the games is when they announce, "Let's play some soccer!!"

Soccer

We love to go watch Shawn "Double" DePauw play soccer! Go #4! Go Leafs!
