It's official...I'm a soccer mom!

Three of my girls signed up for AYSO soccer today!! I am officially a "soccer mom" and I even have the van for the sticker!!! :) Ashlynn will be playing in the "little league" of soccer with the 5 year olds 3 on 3. And Hannah and Gracey will be playing the next step up (still only fundamentals) together on the same team. Thankfully that should make the trucking around for practices and games a little easier for us.

I am a little anxious only because, juggling school for myself, homework for both them and myself, practices, games, and whatever else the Lord throws at us in the process!!! Anyone who knows us, knows that our plans are never as smoothly fulfilled as we would like...it's all a part of being a big family with big dreams, and big circumstances!

Today was a great day!!

Today was a great day for the kids! Hunter played a game today and he FINALLY GOT IT!!! He stayed in the box, held his head up, watched the pitcher and swung like he meant it ! (missed, but that's a minor detail) He even chased after the ball in the out field instead of running and ducking from it! He had an awesome game, and we are making sure he knows it! I can't begin to explain, since I know not everyone has the same issues we do with our kids, but for me....

when I see one of my kids do something they've been struggling to do for a long time and they start becoming discouraged....then all of the sudden, one day IT CLICKS!!! And though it may not seem like success to some because he missed the ball...you have no idea what it took for him to get in that batters box again (he's been hit 4 times now by the pitches).

Way to go Bubba! Mama is very proud of you!
