A Special Birthday Shout Out!!

Happy 4th Birthday,
Sebastian!

We love you very, very much!

No more pig tails

Alerina got a haircut this past Saturday. Of course she gave me a hard time while I was trying to cut her hair . . . . . she was crying, screaming, pushing my hands away, and saying, "No mommy! Please Mommy . . . . . . no bad boy!" while I try to trim away. I wanted to cut the back hair and her bangs but was only successful with the back part. Maybe next week she'll let me cut the bangs - he . . he . . he . . <:o)

Soccer School

In the beginning of August, Sebastian started his Soccer Class. It was a 2 times a week for 2 weeks class . . . 4 sessions total. He really, really enjoyed the class. The first class meeting, he was sort of shy . . . he wanted me to hold his hands while he kicked the ball around or stand right next to him if I was not holding his hands. Thank goodness the rest of the 3 meetings he was fine - he was SO ready and excited going to the class that he was would be unbuckling his seat belt and wanting to run to the class as I try to park the car. It was cute to see him play soccer with all the kids because all the kids were his age and there was about 12 little kiddies for him to run around with and go crazy with :o)

Now the class is over but every now and then, Sebastian would say to me, "Mom, I need to go to soccer school! I like it alot! Can we go, please, Mommy?"

FULL House of Fun - Day 1

After breakfast, we decided to ride our bikes around the block. The whole gang went . . . it was Fun but we didn't get too far. Someone was always stopping . . . it felt like they were taking turns on who stops and slows down the group next - silly kids, I tell you!

After lunch, we took the kids to play at the mall. Here is a picture of Sebastian and James after playing at the playground . . . they were a little tired!

My parents, my in-laws, my nephew, and my niece came this past Sunday. So far it's been non-stop playing for the kids and chatting, eating, and drinking for the adults.

I will post more pictures and stories of the visits soon. Can't do it now . . . . . gotta go play :oD

Alerina LOOOOOOOVES her big brother!!! She idolizes him!!! She does EVERYTHING he does!! To Alerina, he is her BEST FRIEND, her WHOLE WORLD!!! It's SOOOO cute the way she follows him around the house and does EVERYTHING he does and says EVERYTHING he says . . . . . . Sebastian, at times, don't think it's cute . . . . . but on rare occasion when he does . . . . . it is just PRECIOUS!!
