what a difference

it's season 2 of soccer for brooke...and wow, what a difference a year makes!

remember last year? she was "that kid" who screamed her lungs out on the field and cried bc it wasn't fair that everyone didn't have their own ball during the match. yep...that was fun.

this year, b is all over the place. she loves loves loves soccer and is begging for more and more practices...and that makes my heart sing. brooke's adhd is not getting in the way...and that is jsut awesome...she's running and playing and being part of a team...and to boot, she's really doing well.
she's scoring goals...not jsut for the other team, but for her team too this year!!!

and there's still time for sitting on nana's lap in the off times, but most of the time, she's wanting to be in the mix.

so, hello soccer...and have fun brooke. i'm really proud of you!

As someone who never had a nanna, could I please encourage her to keep sitting on her own Nanna's lap.

Seriously ....

Cute! My parents made me play soccer as a kid and I spent most of my time avoiding the ball. ;)

that is so adorable, she looks liek she is going to be a natural, it just took her some time to get into the swing of things... Now you just need one of those HUGE buttons with your kids picture on it to put on your shirt that says "SOCCER MOM!"

I remember last years pix of Brooke and her crying on the field and how you and your hubby made her play still....that is why I came back to Thorn Among Roses! I do the same thing with my kids and have similiar pix! She really has improved! Good for you guys!

That's awesome! It's so nice when the kids find something they love, and it just clicks with them. And it's also so nice not to have meltdown on the field.

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......

one lucky chick

i have been super blessed with a man who not only loves and adores me, but thinks his daughters are all queens deserving of the most love a daddy can give.  in this family, and with other special needs families, there are days that make being fully engaged, well, let's just say difficult. poop, for instance...it's still an issue in our house.  with kids 20, 12, 10, and 7, you would think that we were well past the poop problems, but we are not.  ASD (autism spectrum disorder) is a beast when it comes to poop. and here's a little insight on me...i'm a gagger, meaning the harsh smell of poop or puke makes be puke.  but the amazing hot hubs, he's a beast on the clean up.  poop on the walls...he scrubs it.  poop pasted on the toilet...he cleans it up.  poop on the shower curtain...he washes it.  and he does it without being nasty.  (he doesn't like it...but he does it.) so, when people see our fam and think it's all amazingly perfect and cu...

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...
