Soccer morning! We walked over to soccer. Nicole played first and had fun. The girl’s coaches aren’t really good at explaining what the kids are doing, so I can tell Nicole gets frustrated. She was playing a game where she was the winner but it took her a minute to understand. Justin told Nikki she was doing a great job…such love. Nikki really kept up with all the running and had such great determination. Justin did great too. He made a few goals. The boy’s team is so much more organized. We took our time walking home. We stopped overlooking the freeway so the kids could try and get trucks to beep at them. They love it. Justin wanted to check out the “new” park. I guess he had never seen this park but it wasn’t new. It was the kids elementary school. So we stopped there for a bit to let the kids play. We had to leave as one of the kiddos had to go potty. It seems as though it will take 10-15 minutes to walk the kiddos to kindergarten, not too bad at all. The kids played in the backyard for a bit, we heard laughing and both kids were a little wet. We also went out front and the kids drove their cars for a bit. They both ran up to their rooms and brought down stuffed animals to drive around. Justin brought down Mr. Lizard and Pumpkin, 2 very large animals. So large that only one fit in his car. Then we had to get ready to meet my photography group for a photo shoot. I am hoping we got a good family picture. As soon as I am done blogging I will look at some of the ones that Bret took with my camera. We took pics at Hicks Canyon path. The kids had fun playing at the park while we waited for everyone to show up. On the path just added more fun for the kids. They were all running together, pretending to fish, picking up leaves, sticks, etc. All of a sudden it was 5:45 and we had to figure out dinner. But the kids saw the park and wanted to play more and we let them. When the group all got back to the park, we all decided to go get some dinner. We sat outside and the kids were able to play. The kids were running around and having such a great time, not one fight. In between playing they ate dinner. Nicole really had lots of fun with a girl named Lily that I hope we see her again. The kids wanted ice cream so we stopped at Dairy Queen then headed home. It was straight upstairs, jammies, brush teeth, etc.
