Will's First Soccer Game.....

We had our first soccer game today....  All I can say is that the two coaches deserve medals!!!  Imagine if you will trying to place and then herd 8 - 10 cats off their leashes!!!!!  They were really cute to watch and I think he had a good time.  With the exception of the two times that he came to the sidelines to sit down to pout and cry.  And to say that the snow-cone truck was forefront in his mind is an understatement!!!

But alas he played well.....

Getting some practice in before the game...

Getting some last minute instructions from one of the coaches

Gotta show off....

Gotta work on paying attention!!!!

Throwing the ball back into play...

Getting in on some play action...

My little goalie...

Look at that form....

Play Ball!!!!

I wonder who is instructing who??

Still going...

Showing some sportsmanship....

Happy 5th Birthday Will!!!!!

Today we celebrated a little bit early, but boy did we celebrate Will's 5Th birthday with an awesome Army party!!!!!  Everyone was decked out in their cammo and gear and weapons were issued.  Both the kiddos and the adults had a lot of fun with the marshmallow shooter battle.  Chow was served and so was an ultra cool tank birthday cake!!!  We finished off the party with a water balloon battle that was a total hit!!!!

Click the link below for the video of the party.  Little long, but there were so many good pictures that I just had to share to show how much fun they had!!!!

Will's 5Th Birthday party!!

Hard to believe that 5 years have flown by, but boy have we been having some fun!!!!

I love you Will!!!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!

So.......  According to Harry H. Harrison's 1001 Things it Means to be a Dad, #3 reads, " Being a dad means understanding God has a plan for you.  He chose you to be the father of His child."  WOW!!!!!!!!!!  I am one lucky fella.  

What a great weekend!!!  Uncle Buck, Bailey and Elliott got into town Friday afternoon.  We all loaded up and went to eat a little supper.  Will and Bailey were having a ball!!!!  The night was young, but the boys were tired.....  Headed to the house and wound down the night.  Got our bath and watched the Loin King.  He was a tired little boy.....

Saturday morning, we got up and had a little breakfast, ran a few errands and we were farm bound.....  The weather was warm and the pool was cool.  The kiddos were aching to get in the pool, so suits and swimmies went on and they were off.....  We played for a long time in the water...splashing, shooting water guns, playing with noodles, chasing toys and having a good time.  Pops got in on the fun while T was watching Elliott and visiting with Uncle Charlie and Aunt Dottie. 

 Pops having fun with the Grands

Having a hard time deciding on who was to talk and who was to listen.....  I don't know why...these are two of the quietest kids around....

Look at the princess

THIS is how you do it Bailey.....  and don't pay attention to the love birds behind you!!!!

Lovin some Elliott...

All this play was working up a big appetite for all of us and supper was waiting......  Feeding the hungry kiddos was priority.....  They were holed up at their table eating and talking while the "grown up table" was eating and talking and catching up.  After supper, he was begging to get back in the pool began and what did I tell him.....  wait for it....  OH YEAH......  "You have to wait 30 minutes before you can get back in the pool after you eat"!!!!!! Yep, I did!!!  You would have thought that we asked them to wait a lifetime...  So it was back to the pool....  Uncle Buck provided the after dinner entertainment....Daddy was a little too sunburned!!!!

 Kinda serious......  

Stick'em up!!!

Blowing a little water in Uncle Buck's ear.

PRICELESS!!!!!!

While climbing onto Uncle Buck's back, someone's little foot got caught up in someone else's waistband of the bathing suit...  I think they were both tickled!!!

Aunt Crystal and Elliott

Wait Bailey...

That's how you do it....Right in the ear!!!!

Freeze frame.....

Long day of hard play makes for a sleepy boy...  Surprisingly, he never went to sleep on the way home.  He was too busy laughing and talking about all of the fun of the day.  Bath time and a few minutes of the Lion King continued only to fall asleep in my lap...  Doesn't get any better!!!

We slept in a little bit....Think we made it till 7:30 a.m...........but he did come into my room and stood right next to the bed and whispered "Happy Father's Day Dad...."!!!!  LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!  We grabbed some breakfast, loaded up and headed back to the farm to celebrate Father's with our family.  We enjoyed a great lunch and conversation and fun.  The girls all got on the road heading back to Alabama and me and Uncle Buck caught a nap.  Will, Pops and T headed out to the pool for some more play time and to cool off.  We headed back to the house to wind down a great weekend.  Harrison's # 32 reads, "Being a dad means realizing life doesn't get an better that this. Ever".  No it doesn't Mr. Harrison....

Cinco de Mayo tubing and a Super moon

After last night, we slept a little late.....we actually didn't get up until 7:15!!! We grabbed our breakfast, put on some clothes and headed out the door. We had to hit up the Lowe's to get a few things and then we went to the grocery, we went to a Cinco de Mayo party this afternoon!  After we finished our errands, we grabbed a good lunch so that we would have the energy to swim and play.
When we got to the lake, the Harrington boys were waiting on us to get there so that we could go out on a boat ride.  Brock and Evan were ready to tube and as you can see, we were apprehensive for a little bit, but after seeing Evan ride, he wanted to ride.  Evan offered to go with him so that he would not be by himself.   They are sooooo good to Will when he is around playing with them!!!

     

I’m thinkin Dad….Can I go next???

                         

After we tubed, we headed in to feed some hungry boys…It was tacos, Mexican rice, and all of the trimmings…  I think he had two helpings of everything!!!  After supper was finished we retired to the dock to wet a hook for a bit and get our prime seats for tonight’s Super Moon.  It was absolutely amazing and it came up right over the end of the dock.  These pics do not do it justice, but it was sooooo pretty!!!

              

It was dark thirty and I had a tired little boy on my hands, so we loaded up and started home…We did not even make it to the power plant and he was out cold.  Skipped the bath and story time tonight, it will be an early morning in the morning to get ready for church!!!!!!!
