Go Rams!

Brad's high school girl's soccer team made it to the Iowa State Tournament for the first time in the school's history! Way to be a good coach Bradley! Don't worry, this in no way hinders our travel plans. We'll both be back from our different adventures on Saturday afternoon and will take off to Utah shortly after. A big thank you to the Hiatt's for cancelling your camping plans to watch our child for a few days!!!!!

Soccer games, park adventures, and parties

Our child doesn't have a chance. He is at a soccer game or something soccer related at least once a week. Hopefully he gets into it and enjoys it! Brad had his last day of the Academy on Sunday the 23rd. We were both glad it was done, now we get Brad to ourselves on Sundays. Donovan enjoyed getting out and seeing people, but I don't think he'll miss it.

High School soccer, however, is not over yet. Donovan's favorite thing to do when they have a home game is throw stuff off the bridge.

I guess the game they were playing wasn't that important because Brad invited Donovan to go sit with him on the bench. He was in heaven. He loved being right there in the action.

We stopped by Target on our way to the park on day and got a bucket, shovel, and sifter.

He loves to hang, but not for very long.

Donovan loves stickers. We went to the dollar store and got some construction paper and stickers and he went to town.

On Saturday we went to the park for a picnic. Donovan had been asking to have a picnic for a few days, so when Brad had the day off, we went for it. He loved it. He got to play and eat at the park...his two favorite things.

On Sunday we went to a graduation party for a girl Brad used to coach. Her dad, Doug, loves Donovan. He also loves golf, so he let Donovan and Brad play with extra golf clubs he has.

We went to Addi's birthday party yesterday. The party hats were tiaras, that was apparently Scott's doing. The boys thought it was great. Donovan's so pretty, he could be a girl.

My pretty princesses. Maybe I don't need a little girl after all.

Pretty little birthday girl.

Happy (late) Birthday Addi!

There was another soccer game today.

It got rained out. Actually it got thunderstormed/tornadoed out. So we got to spend some time in the "tornado shelter" at the school (it's just an empty hallway away from windows and doors).

Handsome boys.

I find this video adorable and hilarious at the same time. Yes, I let my child watch Yo Gabba Gabba on occasion. It's a little weird, but he loves when they do Dancey Dance Time. He especially loved when Jack Black did the Dancey Dance. He usually just dances to the music, so I was surprised that he was actually trying to copy the dance they were doing.
