September review

Since I can't seem to keep up with blogging I am doing a recap of the months to catch things up. September was busy with Mackenzie starting school, piano, and soccer for the first time. We requested she be on a team with one of our friends with hopes of her not being so shy and timid. That friend then asked Brandon to help coach. She was right at home and did great! The herd around the ball was so funny to watch. She got called for hands ( I think) one time and she just broke down in tears. This picture is Brandon trying to keep her calm after that!


There were actually some pretty good kids on some of the teams which was good for her to see and get a better idea of how the game goes.

Then there is Brooklyn who is a nut. As you can see she is fully potty trained well before the baby and after only a little bit of persistence on my part when school started. Thank goodness for that!
Aren't they a little young? I thought the same thing and look at her smile! What do I have to look forward to. Yikes! This is the coaches son who she plays with in nursery at church.
All she wanted me to do was take her picture. Just open your eyes! She loved going to Mackenzie's soccer games, not to watch but to run around and play with the other kids. Go figure!

We gave her the same incentive as Mackenzie but she didn't take it as seriously. If she could keep her undies dry she could get a fish. Well, she did so we got a fish. mackenzie got to pick one too. Thank goodness the adults feed the poor things or they would have been dead a long time ago!
Mackenzie is such a good big sister. Now that she can read they curl up on each others beds and she reads to Brooklyn. Since we are mean parents and tell them to stay in there room on Saturdays until it is light outside, this fills the time.
Brooklyn loves to be in the middle of everything. I don't know if I call her my big helper or my bit mess maker. She runs the bosch when I make bread and she is so excited when I let her.
The girls loved the Osprey baseball game and Ollie. Well, that was from a distance because Brooklyn freaked when he actually got close to us. she usually has no fear so this made us laugh to think something scared her.

September in a nutshell. Mackenzie wasn't so sure of her school teacher but quickly learned to like her. She is a great teacher and keeps the kids on track.

More updates to come in the next few days.
