Fall Soccer

Is she not the cutest soccer player?! We love going to her practices and games. It gets us all out of the house and enjoying the these Indian summer days. Scarlett loves to kick the ball but really has no idea what is going on or where to kick it.  Her smile is so genuine that I don't have the heart to tell her she is doing it wrong. Whenever she kicks it she runs over to me and asks "Mom did you see me? I kicked it!" Kids make everything better.

While at practice and the games Alice walks up and down the sidelines talking to everyone!! And I mean everyone! Today at practice she talked to Teresa about eating rocks and getting sick. Last week she talked to an older man whose name was Jesus. She was very confused and kept calling him "Hey you." Half the time she is in full princess get up (dress, shoes, necklace, crown) and causes quite the scene walking across the park. Oh Alice, please stay two forever! 

She loves her ball and gets so excited to bring it to games because the coach uses it at the game ball. It's like she is a celebrity because her ball was chosen:)

Conference Weekend

Conference weekend was spent just like I love...cabin,family, food, hikes, and good inspiration. The whole family loved spending time with Ashton cousins and enjoying beautiful Midway. It's official, I want a home in the mountains.

Pregancy

I have a constant internal battle of wanting these last few weeks to go super fast and on the other hand super slow. Taking care of yet another newborn makes me nervous but this endless heart burn and waddling is tiring. I adore just having two little girls but a cute boys sure makes me excited. My schedule is routine and easy,which I love, yet I am ready for change. The great thing about this debate is that I have no control over it. Pregnancy ends and the baby will come.

We have yet to decide on a name despite what feels like hours pouring over boy names. Nick wants this and I want that and then we both change. The names is too old sounding and others sound like they only fit a 3 year old. Once again this debate is out of my control. Pregnancy ends, the baby will come, and he must be named.

Like the first two pregnancies the second half is very smooth and I can still do everything I really want. I only have the typical aches, pains, and inability to bend over. I have noticed that I am more tired this time around despite sleeping 9+ hours at night and taking naps. Maybe its because he is a boy or because my girls keep me busy? No way to figure it out. He is a late mover and only in the past couple weeks have I really felt him kick around. I really want the girls to feel him move but they never have to 5 seconds of patience to keep their hands on my belly. But they still understand that their is a baby in there and that after Halloween (the only time frame they understand) a boy is coming. Whenever I leave the house alone they ask if I will come home with the baby. I tell them one day I will but not today.
 I love feeling him squirm around and the comfort his movements bring. He is still in there...sigh of relief! But in 5 weeks he will be out and the real work begins.
