Go Hawkeyes!

Today we told Brody he would get a surprise if he played soccer...totally worked and yes AMB, he loved the ice cream surprise! Worked like a charm! :) He still looks a bit more like a Rockette than Pele, but we'll take it!

Opposites

Conversation while driving in the car with Yaya and Nana:

Brody: Daddy's car is big. Momma's car is small. That's opposite.

Conversation later that evening:

Momma: Brody, tell Daddy what you told me about opposites this morning.

Brody: I don't want to talk about opposites right now Momma.

Alrighty then....

Silly Fishing

Brody found a fishing pole we bought about a year ago and fished in the grass for about an hour today ... and then just got plain silly! You should have seen the one that got away!

Happy Birthday Chicken!

Happy Birthday Ann-Marie! We have certainly mastered the art of self-portrait taking after all these years! I lurve you girl (insert crazy dance here)! Have a great day....you only turn 23 once or twice!

Week Two

Well this week was a bit better with soccer. We had a very rough start, but eventually Brody made it out on the field for a short time during the game. If you look closely at the first picture, Brody was the start kicker for the period and has the same Rockette kick...but at least he hit the ball and not someone's nose! We have two really good players on our team...two girls that must be all of 5...I think they scored all 9 of our goals between the two of them! Go Hawkeyes!

Bend it like....a Rockette

Brody had his first soccer game today. It was more like a soccer sit out as he wanted absolutely NO part of it. He was on the field for less than five minutes "practicing" and in that time I captured three shots .... all of which have him looking more like a Rockette than Beckham. Hopefully next week will be better.
