Training Wheels are for Wimps

Mother's Day & hallway driving

Mother's day 2009 was very nice. In the morning we took the kids to the Lincoln Children's zoo where we got to see all the new animals. Jonathan rode on a pony and we saw the newest pony addition to the zoo-born that morning. So cute. We updated our photo of the kids sitting on the giant bronze turtle. The male peacock showed off his feathers as we walked by. We ate lunch at the zoo and then headed to Jonathan's soccer game.

He scored 3 goals! We're still trying to figure out where he gets his athletic ability. Jonathan's the blond kid in the center (light blue t-shirt).

After the soccer game we headed to Ivanna Cone for some delicious ice cream. The family agreed that daddy's ice cream was the best-peach. Yummy. We stopped at a great new bookstore next door to the ice cream shoppe. I ended up buying books for the kids-I can never resist. The only blip in the day is when Johanna puked in the car on the way home. We're not sure why. She seems to be feeling better now. We ended the day with watching the Simpsons and eating pizza. It was a great day.

We also wanted to include a recent video of the kids playing together. We're calling it Hallway Driving. It was so cute to watch them. Enjoy!

Soccer Update and other news.

Jman had his second soccer game today and scored two goals. TWO GOALS! (This surpasses his father's childhood total by two.) He also had an assist, which was his favorite play. "Did you see me pass it to Will and then he scored?" he asked after the game.

It seems like each team has one fast kid that can actually dribble the ball. Jman is that kid.

Our kid.

He's the good one.

Really.

Last weekend, we made a quick trip to Kansas to visit Papa and Grandma Wally. It was very relaxing.

Also, Mommy got her new helmet. It's very helpful when playing Galaga. She made it to level 12 and got the third highest score while wearing the helmet. (The two highest scores still belong to Daddy.)
