Soccer Stars

January has been full of, well, soccer.  McKayla has practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 and Seth has practice on Wednesdays at 6:45.  Then, on Saturdays they both have games at different fields even though they practice at the same place.  His games are at Meridian park while hers are at Tom Brown Park (about 15-20 min. apart). Naturally, all of their games are either back to back or at the same exact time.  That means we never get to see an entire game for either of them and when they are with us we have to take two cars. Ugh!  Oh well, what can you do?  They both seem to love it although they both lost their first 3 games.  This past weekend McKayla's team won their first game 2-0 and Seth scored his first goal.  It was a great day for soccer!

Pictures from the first games...

That has really taken up most of our time besides work, school and planning for baby Huck.  We also got tickets to PBR (the rodeo) with Meghan, Sam, and Matt.  The kids really loved it!

Well, I know it doesn't seem like much but that was our January and it was truly much busier than it sounds!

Our First Anniversary

New Year's Eve marked our one year anniversary!  We celebrated by getting eachother gifts (a kindle for him and our wedding vows framed and perfume for me), going out to dinner, going to a comedy show, ringing in the new year with a couple friends in midtown, and eating a slice of our cake!

Here's a list of some wonderful things that happened in our first year of marriage:

The four of us, Justin, McKayla, Seth, and I became a pretty awesome family, if I may say so!

We celebrated my 28th birthday. Eeeekkkkkk!

Justin and I took a mini-moon to Savannah, Georgia.

Seth played his first season of t-ball.

We added a new addition to the family, Fenway!

Seth graduated from Pre-Kindergarten.

We took a trip to Wet 'n' Wild and Islands of Adventure.

We had an AWESOME summer that included our "Summer Chain of Events" as you may remember.

We survived the first day of school (them and me).

We celebrated Justin's 35th birthday.

We decided to expand our family!

We had a FABULOUS birthday party for Seth (6) and McKayla (9).



Seth had his first flag-football game.

We went to a few FSU football games.

We celebrated our first Christmas as a family.  

And last but not least, we celebrated our first year of marriage.

A terrible picture of us!!!

Our wedding cake I made last year.  It still looked pretty good and it tasted delicious!

2011 was a great year and a wonderful first year of marriage.  I can't wait to see what 2012 has to offer!
