Kinsley's 1st Year Of Soccer

Kinsley has been wanting to play on a soccer team for over a year now, so when the fall sign ups were happening in the summer, we went straight to the rec center and signed her up! Her first time truly kicking a ball was during the soccer evaluations. Josh & I were so proud of her for being so brave and going out there and trying in front of all of the soccer coaches and players! If you asked me to do that, I wouldn't have.. Fast forward two months, and she's on the Purple Swarm team with the best, most patient and kind coach we could have ever hoped for, Coach Mark. They have played 4 games so far & have won ALL of them! Kinsley has done really well for her first year of soccer, and I am not just saying that! The coaches have told her, the team and even me. Proud mama! Here are some pictures that I've taken, so far :) GO #3!!!!

(These last 2 are from her soccer evaluations. No idea where her headband went..)

Happy 12 Years To Us!

This weekend, September 24 was mine and Josh's 12 year dating anniversary!! Back when we were 16 year old babies, Josh came over after his football game and "FINALLY" asked me to be his girlfriend! We spent the day like a normal day, we didn't go on a date or anything but it was still a special day! That night, I had preexisting plans to eat dinner with my friends (Blake,Makenze,Katherine,Kristal) since we never get to hang out, just us and oh! Because we are moving to Florida (Lord willing!). So Joshs' sweet little self took the girls and Gunner & Lydia to Shakalaka and Chick-fil-a while I went with friends. He is seriously an amazing daddy (& uncle!). I'm so grateful that God's plan for my life has meant for Josh & I to make it through tough times so that we can truly enjoy and know happiness together. WE ARE SOOOO.HAPPY!

Happy Friday!!

Once again, Kinsley is sitting right beside me as I type =) (She just asked me what that was, pointing to the smiley face. I said tilt your head, it's a smiley face! She looked at me like I was crazy. I told her it was like :) that one except has long eyes. LOL) Josh had me believing that he was taking the girls to get a puppy this evening. A puppy that I did NOT want! The girls were even in on it, I was standing in the kitchen when Josh walked in and he was telling the girls to hurry up and Abrielle said "the puppy peed on my shoe!" and he said "what?! the puppy peed? Come inside and let mama clean it up" So I angrily go  around the corner to look at the unwanted puppy's pee only to see Josh handing me a new MacBook Air!!! =) They are sneaky little things!! I'm so excited to have this!! I turned it on and Kinsley has helped me navigate it so far, I've never had one, I'm used to Windows not Mac. Good thing she has one at school so she knows just what to do! Josh is rocking Abrielle to sleep on the couch, we just looked over at them and he's holding his phone up and nodding off sleeping! He caught us... Oh man! We're just so excited to have this laptop!! Now I have no excuse to not keep up with this blog. Kinsley makes fun of me for having a blog but I think one day when she's older and can read back on this, she will be thankful. Kinsley, if you are reading this, you are welcome =)

Nighty night,

Just found this picture somehow. It's definitely from at least 2 years ago!
