Summer '15: Soccer Camp

We got back to the UK just in time for Soccer Camp. We are always traveling in the summer so I never knew this even existed. I thought it would be a fun thing to keep her busy but it was INCREDIBLE. The youth center actually hires in a team from Norwich to run it. Bella learned so much in one week and it increased her love of the game tenfold. Happy kid=Happy mom! P.S. I only got pictures of the end of the week trophy ceremony though!

Everyone got a certificate and medal

But then my girl got BEST ATTITUDE/WORK ETHIC trophy for her age group.  Proud Momma.

Showing off her loot!

Summer '15- Back in the UK

The trip back home was fairly uneventful. Both kids slept. For the rest of the summer we just enjoyed our new house.  Here's a collection of noteworthy happenings.

Dress up at its finest

Ninja turtle mask. Check. English Bobby Hat. Check. Silver Satin Princess Gloves, Check.

Bella created this three part test for her brother.......shapes, letters, and vowels. He'll thank her later.

This is a picture that will DEFINITELY be given to her future husband.  Her two front teeth were SO LOOSE but she was too scared to take them out.   So, they looked all wonky for weeks.

So cool

Joziah is an absolute pain in church so sometimes we just have "home church" and as with all things, Bella has to make a sign.

FINALLY the girl's two front teeth fell out!

And so begins our summer project...THE PLAYHOUSE/SWINGSET.  I spent 3 hours sorting the bolts for each step.
Here is the set A....

.....and Set B

The directions tell you to set all the pieces in order

Making some progress.

We had to call reinforcement.  

3 weeks later.....ta-da

First slide

Little guy likes it.......

.......except that he had a little mishap on his first time down the slide.

Tucker joins the dress up fun

Pretty cool

Together....even better

Round two

No words for this one

Joziah thought it would be fun to get in the doll crib

"A little snug, but not bad"

Then there was the day Bella wanted to give her Barbie head a hair cut.

Tucker came over and celebrated his real birthday with us!

Great Christmas wrap Engels.

It's a.............................

Cool, water spraying fire engine

Spencer partakes in a little paper crumbling

Getting out the Karaoke always makes for a fun time

Absolutely everyone should wear one of these when they drive......

.........just in case you crash need some head padding

Back at it again

Who is this cool guy?

"I'm multitasking!  Driving while brushing is not forbidden."

Wearing a helmet while reading is also a good idea!

"What you looking at?"
