Kevin Soccer

Kevin's elite soccer team hit the road this weekend for a game. I took the camera along to videotape it for the team and grabbed a few highlights of Kevin. He scored the first two goals of the game, then had to play keeper because the boy who was there injured his finger. So I have some highlights of Kevin in goal, too. His team won 10-2.

Andrea's soccer game

I just had to post one of Andrea playing soccer last night. I brought my camera and had a ball taping her. Then I spent a few minutes this morning in my office brushing up on some basic editing skills and here is the result.

By the way... don't miss the middle of the video, where you can see Elizabeth kicking the ball into the goal. It seems she can't wait to play too!

Daddy daughter date to the pet store

Well, it was Elena's turn to go on a daddy daughter date with me. I usually like to let them choose where they want to go. We try not to spend much money on these dates and this time, Elena has been after me for a LONG time to take her to the pet store to pet the puppies and kitties. So I called home from work and officially asked her out on a date and told her what time I would pick her up so she could be ready. She was so excited. I took her to the pet store and she wanted to pet all the little animals there, including a mouse, hamster and rabbit. But, as you can see, her favorite was this little chihuahua puppy. I wish I could have taken video of her with that dog. She really loved it. She also liked the little kitten she held and played with for a long time.








After the pet store, I took her to look at some Webkins, but the store was closed, so we went to get some ice cream. Elena was so happy to get her turn at a date with daddy. Next up for a daddy daughter date: Andrea. Elizabeth had her turn a couple weeks ago when I came home for lunch and took her to McDonalds. Kevin and I went to Sonic for a burger and drink together during soccer recently.

Car Wash! (and other pictures)

Well we had a family home evening and the kids wanted to wash the van as our activity after the lesson. It was a hot day (still in the 90's in October) and as expected, van washing turned into water fight and everything.











Kevin is learning how to play the trombone. He is doing really well in band and his teacher has great comments about his ability all the time. The trombone is the same trombone I played when I was in high school. We got my parents to send it out to us for Kevin.

Soccer pics

Well our three oldest are all playing soccer and all doing well. Andrea and her little friend dominate the boys in her age group and she scores lots of goals. Elena is adjusting to playing on the "big field" but she is having fun and we are putting up a team picture here. Kevin is the starting left striker on his premiere team and also the best keeper. But he plays more striker these days. Here are some pictures. Even though Elizabeth isn't on a team yet, I put one of her playing soccer too.
