Soccer Time

_MG_2094

Little lady is playing soccer this year......and it is soooo cute! They are the Bumblebees.

As it turns out she was actually pretty good and fairly aggressive. She kept telling me "just make sure I am going to the right goal."

I have to laugh at the fact that she is posing with attitude while waiting in her position.

Miss Geena and Gwyn are best buddies. Gwyn adores and idolizes Geena to the moon. When Gwyn got home from her game she had to run over and show Geena her Uniform. I whipped Geena's hair into a matching doo like miss priss and then took a picture of them. Love our Dolce family.

Because my boys are only 17 months apart, every other year they get to play on the same team. I LOVE when this happens. One less game baby. Abe tried out the goalie position. He had a couple of great stops.

Wait......Do you see that big kid?
Yep he's mine. I keep going back an looking at this picture saying "Really?"

This boy loves himself some soccer. I told him next year he has to choose. Right now everyday is full. He and Abe are playing soccer, football, and piano. He really wanted to keep doing swim team too. I had to draw the line somewhere. I was never as self motivated as this kid. He is also trying to be a RAD reader and that means trying to read 40 Beehive Nominates books before the end of the school year. He is already down 2. His teacher and I had no idea he was doing this but he and the librarian had it worked out. Surely he must not be of my genetics, NEVER that self motivated.......

Here is Abe in action.

It's fun to have our Saturdays full of soccer and feel the fall starting to move in(just inching though). It is so crazy to look at my children and realize how old they are getting and how fun all this really is especially as they get older. I find it really fun to have so much going on. Bob and I are so proud of our kiddos and love cheering them on. Gil is really sad he missed the cut off for soccer and can't wait to play next year. He keeps trying to be on Gwyn's team, but the fact that it's an all girl team makes him stick out a bit. Ahhh next year!

*Look forward to some flag football pictures coming soon!

This is BIG!!!!!

We are DIAPER free at my house! This is an all underwearing family now.

(At least I think so)

_MG_2199


This little man potty trained in three hours.... World record for my four children. We started at 9am and were totally finished up by noon. Thank you Toilet Training in Less Than a Day, you have made all of my potty training experiences great. It also helps to wait until they are three and old enough to just get IT. In my mind poopy underwear are far worse than any poopy diaper ever could be. I will take my few hours of intense potty training over months of struggling for them to get it. My boy walked away this weekend with nothing but positive, happy feelings about being a big boy!

Now the only problem is where his hands naturually want to go......

_MG_2197

Goodness we love this boy! It has been so fun for our older kids to cheer him on and all dance when he pooped on the potty! I can't believe after 4.5 years we won't have to buy diapers anymore.

*After my afternoon sunday nap I was thinking about when Mr. Lamoroo and I first got married and our weekends were so leisurely and we had nothing to do but hang together and go to church. I had to giggle when I have thought about this weekend being all about the bodily functions of our 3 year old son... NEVER have we been so happy!
