Week 14 2022

 Week 14 2022

The pergola construction continued this week and hopefully will be done next week. 

Saturday morning, we went to the Verrado High School for an Easter Event. They had an Easter Egg Hunt, Cookie Decorating, Crafts, and tons of snacks. Kylie loved it and had so much fun talking to the high school girls. She was telling them all about her and our family. They both loved the easter egg hunt and were able to get lots of eggs. 

Kylie and I played Candyland before we headed to soccer. She really liked the game when she was winning but said it was "the worst game ever" when she was losing. We are working on this. 

Blake did a good job at his soccer game. He was on defense for the first half of the game. It was really windy which was nice because it made it felt a lot cooler. Kylie did really good at her game. She was goalie twice and did really good. She also almost made a goal! Everyone was so excited for her. She was much more focused than in the past so we are making improvements. She is still really social and distracts the players at times but she did really well this game. 

Saturday night and all-day Sunday were rough. Blake started to feel sick and had every symptom. I finished up our taxes and I didn't think we were going to survive. Excited for a fresh start on Monday. 

Week 13 2022

 Week 13

This week was pretty low key. Kylie had her graduation pictures on Friday. She insisted on dressing up in a nice dress even though her cap and gown would be covering it. We did a quick photo session in the morning and her personality shows so much in these pictures so I'm going to share them all. 

We are in the process of having our outdoor pergola redone. This week they starting taking it apart. I'm excited to see what it looks like after they finish.

Saturday was our usual soccer games. Blake played first and then we had an hour break and headed to Kylie's game. Kylie is still loving playing goalie. Her team is pretty good so the ball is usually on the other end of the field most of the time so it makes her job easier. She is doing a really good job at staying focused though. 

Kylie and I have been watching a lot of basketball and spring training together. She is my only sports fan in the house but she gets really competitive. We have been really enjoying watching the Phoenix Suns! They are doing really good and are so fun to watch. Kylie and I are excited to watch the playoff games. If tickets weren't so expensive, I would buy us tickets. 

Week 12 2022

 Week 12

Tuesday night, we went to test drive Tesla's. We have been going back and forth between the Model Y and the Model 3 so we wanted to go and see them in person. The kids LOVED riding in the Tesla's. Jeremy would go really fast randomly and they both loved it, especially Kylie. After the test drives, we went to Raising Cane's for dinner. 

Friday night, we went for a scooter ride and ended up at a new yogurt shop! 

Saturday morning, Kylie and I went to her soccer game! She did really well but runs out of energy fast. After her game, we went home and went to a park to practice soccer. I bought a soccer goal online so we put it together and went to the park. 

Blake's soccer game was in the afternoon. Thankfully it was pretty cloudy but still very hot. He was goalie and was so excited but it ended up being harder than he expected. He is now not a fan of being goalie. haha! 

Week 11 2022

 Week 11

Our weeks involve a lot of soccer now which has been fun. On Monday night, Blake had soccer practice and on Wednesday night, Blake and Kylie have soccer practice. 

Thursday was St. Patrick's Day! The kids both had lots of fun activities during the day at school. Kylie's class had a green feast which included tons of different green foods. At night, Grandma Krass sent the family a fun green surprise. 

Friday night, we went on a family scooter ride. We found a new park which was a ton of fun. We raced on the slides and climbed to the top of the tower. 

 

Saturday was a full day of fun! It started at 8am with Kylie's soccer game. She really likes playing goalie. She also loves the snacks and we had to talk about not eating snacks until after the game because she was asking to take breaks to finish her snacks. haha! 

We hurried home and got changed into our church clothes and headed to church to attend one of Blake's friends Baptism. I love that the kids are starting to make friends in our new area. After the baptism, we went to Texas Roadhouse for lunch. The kids were really good and we had a lot of fun! 

After lunch, we went home and got changed back into soccer clothes and went to Blake's game. It was REALLY hot and I felt bad for his whole team. They didn't have extra team members for most of the game so they couldn't substitute which I think made it really hard. After the game, I went on amazon and purchased everything I could find to try and help keep the kids as cool as possible for future games. 

Sunday night, Kylie lost her second tooth! It has been lose for a very long time. She asks me to wiggle it several times a day so I gave it a good pull and it came out. haha! She was in shock and then super excited!
