Soccer Mom

So actually these posts are a little out of order, but that is only because I am about a month behind! I don't know what my problem is, just too much to do and not so much time to do it in! I have only a couple hours a day when the boys are asleep and I have to clean, eat, nap, spend time with the girls, and blog! This september, I finally became an official soccer mom. Taylor was so excited to start. She has two games a week and is loving it! She is learning how to play the game, and is getting better each time. It is so much fun watching her play. It also helps that the girls on her team are her friends from her class!

The rest of July

Children's parade

A lot has happend since I posted last, so I am going to try to catch up. We will start about a month ago at the children's parade. Taylor and Ellie got dressed up in red, white, and blue. They were so cute and Justin said they had tons of fun! Each church ward had a group of kids, ours were the cutest!

kids, kids, kids

I am feeling so blessed this morning to have 5 beautiful and healthy kids. I know that all aren't so lucky. I try to remind myself of this when things get difficult around here. It has been hard for me to adjust to taking care of 5 little kids, and the house, and Justin. I feel like things are coming around and that I might actually be able to do it. I have a lot of faith and that has helped me so much. I feel so blessed, I have been given so much! Just take a look at some of my beautiful blessings! Oh and another blessing, a baby swing! Andrew has really taken to it. A friend let me borrow hers and it has been a lifesavor. Now I have some time to get things done!

Taylor's friend party

Fun in the sun

A few weeks ago, Matt picked out a pool for the kids to play in the backyard. While he was there he bought them some super cool goggles. The kids loved them and thought it was so fun to play in the water with them. I am so glad we have our backyard this year. We have gone out to play almost everyday. And because of our huge but beautiful tree, there is always shade! We are so lucky!
