Okay, let's try soccer!

A new spring is upon us which means it's a new sport season in the Blubaum house.  We enjoyed giving T-ball a try last year...up next, soccer!

I am not sure if it's because he is a year older or if he maybe just really likes soccer better than t-ball (shhh...don't tell his dad!!).  Either way, soccer is going great!  Here are some pictures from Cole's recent game.  It's no World Cup, but these kids are cute!

Jersey distribution day!  Yeah for #6!

Game day!  His games are often at 8am...yikes!  The kids are barely awake by then so those Saturday's are a little rough around here.  Not only is it early, but the mornings are COLD!

 

He's already started talking about football, but luckily he has to be 5 to do that...so we have a few months.  Add this to his continued request for guitar lessons and his recent obsession with the Wizards of Waverly Place and we have one eclectic kiddo!  Love my boy!

Domestic Diva!

Kenleigh's teachers at school describe her as "the mommy."  She loves to help with everything, clean things up, help her friends, etc.  She is the same way at home.  Each night as we cook dinner, she gets her stool out and announces, "I help you!"

Last Sunday was no exception.  I decided to make some cookies and Miss K was first in line to assist me.  She ended up doing most of the work!  Love to see her so happy and excited about rolling dough, cutting cookies and being the most adorable domestic diva! 

Finished product!  Getting ready for Valentine's Day already!

Boise or Bust!

Thursday we packed up and headed off for 4 days in Boise with my sister and her family.  The kids have been so excited for this trip.  Cole was telling everyone he could that he was "going to Idaho, actually Boise, in xx days."  He's been counting down since early December.

The 4 cousins are adorable together.  They are all about a year apart at ages 5,4, 3 and 2.  It was fun to watch them play and it also reminded me how happy I am to only have 2 kids of my own! :)

Each night they "camped out" in the living room to watch movies and wind down for bed. 

Here they are all snuggled up again enjoying a morning viewing of Star Wars...Autumn's favorite!  I could listen to her say Darf Mall and Obi Nobi all day long.  Love that sweet, sweet girl!

Saturday we headed out to the Boise Aquarium!  It just recently opened and we weren't quite sure what we were getting ourselves into.  The kids had fun, so that's all that mattered! 

Equally as fun was cousin bath time...boys vs girls!

It was so much fun to all be together and made me hope we can make our annual Sunriver trip work this year.  Fingers are crossed, can't imagine missing it!  At the end of the trip all the cousins gave good hugs and loves goodbye and 2 Aunties cried as they said goodbye.  Miss you already Sister!
