First soccer season....

...comes to a close. After a very RAINY season, MWC is finished with her first soccer season. She was on the Blueberries--and began to really enjoy the games. She always LOVED practice but the first game was..........different. She played some,but then decided she wanted to watch. But we kept going and week by week she enjoyed it more and more. Her favorite part was being able to kick the ball in. But once the ball was in she was not always running after the ball, but mostly away from it. However, at least she was out there willing to help her team (which was not the case in the first game). We were proud that she did not quit and finished the season. And at the team party, she was named "best helper" on the team!!!! Not so sure we will be signing up for another round of soccer, but she at least tried it and stuck with it those 7 games!!!!

She loved it because at the last game her daddy filled in for one of the coaches.

WOOHOO!! Having a good time!!! :)

Wordless Wednesday

Doesn't waste ANY time!!!

This morning, RDC took the kids to get donuts. When I heard them come in, I walked up the hall to go and eat with them and this is what I saw.......

(He and MWC had a picnic with Aunt EJW last night, so he figured he would have a picnic this morning!!!)

Then he immediately did this......

.....He was ready to bless it!!! RDC came in and saw him and told me that as soon as they got back in the car with their donuts he put his hand together ready to say the blessing!!! :)

As you can see--meal time is a very important time to him!!!! **I just LOVE our little man!! He just makes me smile!!!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Words can't describe what this lady means to me!!!

Wordless is the PERFECT description!!!

You never know what she is going to say.....

Every night after dinner it is a family chore to help clear the table. The other night, RDC and the kids went to rinse their hands and head back to the kitchen. Well both kids got distracted by something on the way. And when he looked up he was alone in the kitchen. So called down the hallway, "Why am I the only one in here?" And MWC politely responded, "Because no body is in there with you." :)

And like he told me--"she answered my question!!" :)

**And I realize that I used the same picture of her from "Wordless Wednesday" but it is just the way she says things lately--with that head tilted grinning at us!! :) And also to tell Pop THANK YOU for taking such GREAT pictures of our babies!! A lot of the "wordless Wednesday" pictures come from ones he has taken. But I have not been able to give him the proper credit since it is supposed to be wordless!! :) But thank you, Pop for doing such a great job on capturing great pics of them!! :)

Wordless Wednesday

Fall festival fun!!

I am guessing that my years of dressing them in "matching" costumes is coming to an end, so I took FULL advantage this year!! :) We let MWC pick who she wanted to be --and it was a BIG toss up between Ariel and Dora--- and then we picked for JDC. :) (But doesn't he make the CUTEST Sebastian you have ever seen?!?!?!) Anyway, we are lucky that MWC's friend AEH LOVES to dress up so they were sweet enough to let us pick out something cute for MWC to wear. Last week we went to her school's fall festival and then Saturday night we went to our church for some more fun and games.

At her schools festival, JDC's favorite game throwing toilet paper in the REAL toilet bowl. :) (And luckily--not he has not repeated that game at home!! :)

MWC loved the fishing game--but mostly I think she enjoyed running around with her friends---the little social butterfly that she is!! :)

And at the church Saturday night they really enjoyed sliding on the big slide and playing in the inflatables. And RDC being the good daddy that he is, got to go down the slide and through the obstacle course MANY times!!!

It was a good thing we had an extra hour to catch up because we had two TIRED babies after the night was over!!!
