Soccer, Soccer, Soccer

Well I have to say. I LOVE me some soccer!!! All my boys have played soccer, they started at age 4, Marcus and Michael were the only ones to continue soccer through their 7th grade year. They played for competitive leagues and they were good. Of course once they went to Junior High that all changed and they wanted to try football. Don't get me wrong, we love us some football. :) Anyway, for some reason soccer is not even a sport played in Junior High, but it is in High School. So, I asked Michael to try out and he did, and made the team. I knew he would go out there and play like he never stopped playing the sport. He was a little concerned that he may have lost some of his game, but when you have the natural talent, you don't lose it. He was good then and is good now!!

Go, Rockets!

For the Love of Track

So, it has started, Marcus had his first track meet Feb 21st. And Aunt Lisa of course came down to see him run and take pictures. Which I have to say her pictures came out wonderful!!! We were there all day, but the boys had a good time, including Jakob! Give them some room to run, food, candy and drinks and they are good to go. Marcus did very well that day, he placed 2nd in the 400 and in the relay they placed 3rd. Can't wait until tomorrow for the meet being held at Judson, hoping Nane and Popo can watch our boy run!!

First Car!!!

Marcus finally got a car!! It's funny how things happen, I actually took my car to the dealership because I was having some issues. I was told it would take about an hour on my car so dad and I went looking around. Of course there were eager sales people all over us before we knew it. We told them we were just looking around, and then PoPo asked" well we are looking for a used car with low miles do you have any?" Do we have any? We just had a Civic brought in, it's still on the lot, no price, want to take a look? Well we did, and the car was in perfect condition, low miles, very clean, a nice little car and the price was right. So, needless to say Marcus has a car. He was so thankful and excited. He never thought this day would come, thank you Nane, PoPo.

Happy Valentine's Day

Well, this year again I decided to make cupcakes for my boys, and decided to decorate the kitchen as well. I went out and bought some balloons and cards, the boys enjoyed the cupcakes and enjoyed the card. I received hugs and kisses and a ' Thank You Mom". We had plenty of cupcakes and even gave some to Nane's nurse, the neighbor came by the same day and brought over cupcakes she made. So, we had plenty. Then of course the boys came home with a big bag full of candies and Valentine cards from their friends. We also sent Aunt Lisa a gift, however she received it AFTER the holiday, but loved her gifts. Ethan and Isaiah picked out a rose that opened, and had a ring inside. They were so excited about this rose, Isaiah wanted to tell her about the ring sooo bad. But I told him it had to be a surprise.

Did they get it?

Well, it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I apologize, I just get wrapped up with so much. Not sure how I ever worked a full-time job and managed home? Amazing, anyhow we should be hearing something from Michelle ( Parent Magazine), I know the Photo Shoot was wonderful, they did hair and make-up on the boys, and they had a stylist for their clothing. I have to say the boys did very well that day, from what Michelle told me the twins were her favorite. As soon as she saw them on the Entourage Web-site she had to have them. The magazine is the April issue, it will publish mid March, so I will have more details then. This was by far a wonderful experience for Ethan and Isaiah, we will never forget that day.

Cover of Parent Magazine?

Well, this year has started out to be a busy one. Ethan and Isaiah we're selected to do a photo shoot for Parent Magazine, they are interested in them for the cover and possibly a story. " Michelle" from Parent Magazine is flying down from New York next week, their photo shoot is scheduled for the 22nd. So, lets keep our fingers crossed, this is a popular magazine and the experience in itself is great for the boys. I took them to their web-site so they could see the covers, and also had to explain that their our going to be people there that day giving them clothes and shoes to put on. Ethan was a little concerned with the changing out of his clothes and getting dressed in front of people, I told him he would not be completely undressed. He felt better, I also told them that they have to pay attention to the photographer. So, I think they will do great. This past Monday they both had an audition for a commercial with Church's Chicken, I can see that they are getting more and more used to what goes on with the auditions.

Good luck,boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Happy New Years!!!!!!

Well this year I decided to stay in and enjoy my New Year's with four of the MEN in my life. Marcus had to work, yes he worked until about 12.30 am. Lisa and I decided to rent movies and the kids wanted pizza, so they got pizza. We enjoyed watching a couple of movies and we all got a little scare when the power went out for about a minute, after that I couldn't get the twins off me. Aunt Jamie joined our little party, it was nice just laughing and relaxing, and of course some arguing . We all stayed awake until the New Year, except Ethan and Isaiah who tried but missed by 20 minutes. The next day, the boys had fun putting on the hats and beads Popo and Nane brought back from their little trip.

Happy New Year to everyone!!!!!!!
