Our Weekend

We had quite a busy but fun weekend. Friday night we went to the Jenison Caledonia football game in Caledonia. We took my brothers girls who go to Caledonia and had a good time. They sat on the Caledonia side, we sat on the Jenison side but Cody and I walked around a couple times the whole field so we saw the girls off and on. I don't think that we'll be going back to a game until next year. It cost $20 for the four of us and only 1 really enjoyed himself.

Saturday I was lucky enough to baby sit my niece Julia so that Kathy and her girls could watch my niece Jenny play soccer at Jenison's soccer field. She is so cute and reminds me of Megan when she was that age. She weighs a lot less then Megan but she looks a lot like her! It was a lot of fun having a baby in the house again. I love cuddling her and trying to get her to smile. Julia is almost 4 months old and so cute! I took about 15 pictures in a 5 minute span!

After Julia left, we went and bought Cody a high back booster! He was so excited to get a big boy seat and now he can buckle himself. He has to work on practicing buckling as James found out this weekend! It is hard to believe that after 8 years of buckling car seats, that I no longer have to!

We then dropped the kids off and had a night to ourselves. We went to the cheap movies at woodland mall where it cost more for popcorn and pop($8.25) than it did for 2 tickets($7). We saw Swing Voter and it was very good movie about the election coming down to 1 man's vote to decide who becomes president. It was very good and shows you that 1 vote does count. I would recommend it to rent on video when it comes out. After the movie we went to dinner at Carlos! That is my absolute favorite restuarant and I miss it now that we're on the other side of town.

Anyway, it was very busy but a very nice weekend! The kids start soccer tomorrow and Cody is so excited he wants to get dressed in his soccer clothes when he wakes up in the morning! Soccer practice doesn't even start until 5:30 at night! He is so excited he can hardly stand it. He keeps getting out of bed saying, I know it's not a game and I'm not going to win tomorrow but.... followed by a question about practice! He cracks me up! I'll leave you with a couple cute pictures of Julia! Scott doesn't like the one with the big smile but I love those! I included one of Megan at 2 months with a smile like Julia. This shows the difference of the size of the two girls!
