It's a crazy life....but we love it!















































Lately, our days and evenings are filled with kids and all their numerous activities. As of today, Brooklyn does volleyball 3 days a week, and soccer 3 days a week. Bella does soccer 3 days a week, and dances 1, sometimes 2 days per week. There are days when we get home and it's a quick dinner, baths, and bedtime for the kids. We are enjoying watching them grow and develop! Brooklyn and Bella are quite the soccer players! Brieyn watches patiently (or not) from the sidelines, but will be excited when it's finally her turn to join her sisters in the big girl activities. Bradyn can often be heard screaming and crying from the soccer sidelines. For whatever reason, she's never happy there. We are very thankful when a couple of Brooklyn's friends are around at the games to play with the 2 younger girls. It makes a huge difference! Now with Brooklyn's team, Derek is co-coaching with another of the parents. We haven't been all that thrilled with the coaches their teams have had, so with some bothering and bargaining, Derek agreed to take it on with the other parent. He has really enjoyed it, and is VERY good at dealing with the kids. Until last week, Brooklyn's team was undefeated (wait...we don't keep score, haha). Bella was lucky enough to get coach Eric, who is fantastic, and her team is doing quite well too. Both girls are surprisingly aggressive, and get right in there with the boys. We are very proud of them, and I have to admit, I am one of those moms that gets butterflies on game days because it is just so exciting to watch!

That fifth picture of Brooklyn is so cool!

She's all "bend it like beckham" and stuff.
