Soccer Player

I love soccer! I still play soccer as much as possible. I'm on a women's league that plays once a week year round. Well since Ivan and Caylin see me play, let want to play. We have always played soccer with them. A couple months ago Anders and I noticed that Ivan always kicks the ball with his "laces." We are hopeful that he will love sports as he grows up.
Today I was playing with him again, just passing the ball around. We have always tried to teach him how to trap the ball but he never got it. Today he did!
I can't believe my 3 year old can now trap and pass a soccer ball correctly! We are so excited!

Rhubbard Pie

My mother in law introduced me to rhubbard pie. I had never heard of it before meeting Anders. Now I love it. It's probably my favorite pie.
I found some at meijer last week shopping so I decided to make a pie. My mother in law shared her recipe with me.
I was making pies last night while Anders was making dinner. All night the kids were asking, can we have pie? can we have pie now? can we please have pie?
I have never met kids that want rhubbard pie so badly!

I think it's their favorite now too!

Bowling Party

Ivan and Caylin's cousin had a birthday party at a bowling alley this past Saturday. Anders and I have wanted to take the kids bowling but just never have. They loved it! We tried teaching the two of them the "granny" style of bowling. They were doing pretty good with it but then Grandpa and Grandma Weaver, Aunt Rachel and myself started bowling. Ivan quickly changed his form and started rolling down the lane side armed. He wasn't turning back.

Too Cute!! We are going to have to keep doing this over the winter.
