Houston Dynamo

Everyone in this house enjoys going to a sporting event, actually any event. This includes our newest doll baby. We had tickets to see the Houston Dynamo play LA Galaxy and the kids were thrilled and wanted to get decked out in orange. The boys are ready.
Isn't she precious, we are enjoying her so much. She is such a contented baby and smiles all the time.
Here we are really early to the game... We seemed to be the first there and last to leave. We stayed for the fireworks after. The Dynamo won 3-1 and got a spot in the playoffs. The traffic out of the stadium was a zoo and we were stuck with a curb in front of us so after waiting and waiting I say to John "do it, do it and then the kids got in on the chant and sure enough John and the expedition sailed right over and we were off and the kids had such a laugh watching all the other suvs and trucks follow suit.... There was a small toyota and everyone in the car climbed out while the car bounced over and then they all got back in... Its the small things that get us excited!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving... Pretty much everyone who reads this is Canadian so Happy Turkey Day or in our house Happy rotisserie chicken day!!! We are super thankful this year for Sophie who is just the best little baby and the love of our lives. The kids each told me what they were thankful for and Ella was thankful for a house and all the provisions we have and Christopher was thankful for Brown Bear and Mom and Jack was thankful for cookies and the Wii. After school today they decorated pumpkins and made turkeys. We also had delicious pumpkin pie with whip cream that Ella whipped! The kids love to be in the kitchen helping - kind of surprising since I like to be anywhere but there. We missed our beloved John/Daddy today and we are thankful for him. He is the best!

LOVE

The kids sleep together every night and I just think it is the sweetest thing. I have a picture of the boys when they were newborns sleeping just like this together and nothing has changed. Jack is such a snuggler and needs a buddy to sleep with and Christopher and Ella accommodate nicely. I personally don't know how its comfortable but it sure is cute.

Jack loves Sophie. He loves to hold her, kiss her, pester her while she's sleeping and generally just hang around her. Here he is holding her and I managed to get a shot of him giving her a kiss... LOVE IT

Sophie is Ella's very own baby doll and she loves to pick out her outfits and put bows in her hair. So far Sophie is agreeable.

Soccer

The boys have started their new soccer season and to their surprise their team name is Toronto... How crazy is that? We were pretty excited. The team is made up of friends so it is such a fun season.
Ella is enjoying cheering on her brothers with her gymnastics moves and seeing her friends as well.
Aren't they cute? They both scored a goal in the same game. They were so proud of themselves as they should be.
