Soccer season has begun...

Along with everything we have going on...

Morgan has started soccer a week ago. Tonight was her very first game of the season and she did amazing!!

I was very impressed with her and how much she has improved since last season.

She got out there... and even scored a goal!! It was so much fun being out on the field again.

Right before her goal....

Hornets vs. Clay Pal

What a game!! We started off slow... which made me worry about how this game was going to turn out. We were down two touchdowns in the first 7 minutes! Well- these boys quickly turned that around... came back and won the game 19-44!! Aydin played his best game I have ever seen him play; having three sacs!

He was a captain today...He even cheers Aydin and the team on...

Aydin at the doctors

Today Aydin went to the children's hospital to get his kidneys checked out. Both kids have had issues with UTI's so their doctor wanted to have tests done. Nothing major... just have an ultra-sound of the kidneys, sedation and then an xray of fluid leaving the bladder. He did great!! He does have mild reflux but nothing that antibiotics will not take care of...

All done...

Another day at the beach

The kids and I meet up with our friends Kelly and her girls at the beach today. The best part about hurricanes over the ocean is the amount of sea life it causes to come to shore. Today we saw crabs, fish, jellyfish, and a horseshoe crab. The ladies caught a few hermit crabs before we got there and made a little 'home' for them.

Liam didnt even want to play in the water because he was so fascinated with the crabs. He talked to them, pointed, watched, and even tried to put the shell in his mouth... until it started moving in his mouth. I wish I would have gotten his reaction on camera- cause it was a good one!!

Lili, Charlotte, Aydin, and Morgan

Talking to the crab...

The race is on... Aydin and Lili...These ladies love each other...They talked the whole way in...So CUTE!More talking...and then eating...this is what was in his mouth...As I watched Liam attempt to eat crabs... I look over to the right and see this bird catch a dragonfly... national geographic style...

Yulee Hornets vs. Orange Park

Well- today we had to brave the heat and support our kids playing their hearts out! I am so proud of the whole football team... today they won Orange Park for the first time in over 10 years!! Our boys did so good... even though it was 103 degrees outside today. What a great way to start the football season. I just hope they keep this up!

Poor little guy was hot... but it didnt stop him from getting into everything!!

Just resting for a few minutes...

Jamboree

Football is here for good!!

Yay- football games have begun!! Today we went to the jamboree. This is where we play two 20 min games to see how prepared we are for the season. 10 min of straight offense and 10 min of straight defense. The boys played great in both games and won both!! I think this season is going to be a great one!!

Aydin and Ty inbetween games...

First day of school...

Where did the time go???

This summer went by WAY to fast- which surprises me considering I was hoping it would go fast. Now that it is officially over... I want it back.

I cannot believe I have a third and first grader!! My little kiddos are not so little anymore...

Morgan...

Aydin...

Aydin is starting a new school this year, Yulee Elementary and has a great teach- Joy Huber. (He did NOT want to take a picture with her this morning... too old for that kind of stuff now).

Morgan is still at her same school with Beverly O'Conner. She is very happy to know she is in the same class with 5 kids from her class last year.

Putting her backpack away...

With her teacher...

Both kids were excited to start school, although Aydin is not happy about having to start homework again.

I was excited about school too- until I spent a hour trying to drop them off... and an hour and a half trying to pick them up today. Needless to say, I was not in the best mood after we got home. I can say now, I have had time to cool off and start all over again tomorrow morning. This may be the year my kids ride the bus... if those lines do not speed up!!
