Random Thoughts and Events From the Weekend

Here's what we have been up to this weekend...

Jake had his last soccer game Saturday morning and I'm not going to lie to you, I am very excited that the season is finally over. The first few games were great- Jake was totally into it and even scored a few goals. However he quickly decided that soccer just wasn't his thing and would just sit down in the middle of the field or behind the goal and say, "I can't do it." Either that or he would wonder off and one of us would have to go chase after him and bring him back. If you look closely at this picture you will see Jake sitting in the baseball stands with Jon and Nathan while his game is going on! I think this attitude change had something to do with the fact that there was a ball hog on Jake's team that would steal the ball from anyone that had it and dribble down and score a goal every time. The coach never told him to pass the ball so I think after a while this got really old for Jake (and me) so he just decided that he was done. Baseball starts in the Spring so hopefully it will be a better experience for him.

The highlight of the season was definitely getting his trophy- he was pretty excited!

After the game we came home and got everything ready for my whole family to come over and watch the BYU v. Utah game. The party was fun, but the game was so sad. Poor BYU.

After the game we picked up the babysitter and went with some of our friends to see Twilight. I couldn't believe that Jon and the other husbands agreed to go, but surprisingly Jon actually like it- more than I did. I thought it was way too over the top cheesy, but I still enjoyed it. I think for Jon not knowing anything about the story line was actually an advantage. He just found it entertaining and wasn't comparing it to the book the whole time. So it turns out that two of the husbands liked it and the other two were having suicidal thoughts the whole time! You'll have to see it for yourself and let me know what you think.

My hand is healing nicely, though it is still pretty sore. My hand is all bruised, but the doctor wasn't too worried about that. I go in Wednesday to get the stitches out. I just can't wait to get full use of it back- my left hand is pretty useless!

So we sat down at church today and I looked over at Jake and realized that the security tag was still on his sweater vest! Apparently Jon didn't notice when he put the sweater on him that there was a huge security tag hanging off of the bottom. I didn't know what to do about it, so I just left it on there. Our Primary chorister called tonight to let me know about the tag. She said that Jake was playing with it all through Primary. Great! Way to draw attention to it, Jake! So embarrassing.

Here's a close up of the tag just in case you didn't see it in the previous picture!

Nathan came home from Nursery today with this picture that he colored of Jesus. I'm thinking that we need to show hom more pictures of Jesus so that he can get a more accurate idea of what colors to use!

And last but not least, my sister put this picture of me on her blog today and I was laughing so hard when I saw it! It's weird that I don't look anything like any of my kids- it's probably better that way!!

And that's it for our weekend. Pretty exciting, I know!
