Soccer!!!

I know I can't believe it either.  Brody is not even two yet and he is playing soccer.  The first week did not go so well.  Brody did not want to do anything but kick the soccer ball.  Practice is all about listening and following directions.  The only direction Brody was interested in was the net because that is where he wanted to kick the ball. 





The second week was so much better.  Brody was a different kid.  He wasn't 100% but he was a completely different kid.  He sat on the red circles.  He ran with the kids.  He also did the obstacle course 3 times.  He kick, hit, smashed, and popped the bubbles.  He even popped the bubbles with his nose!  This was a very proud moment for Phillip and I.  I was really concern.  I was thinking we started Brody way too early!  I'm hoping this week will be much better then the other two!

Thankful Thursday!

Today I'm thankful for.....BRODY!!!!  I can't believe how much my big boy talks!  He says so many words and repeats everything!  This morning we were driving to Mrs. Cheryl's and Brody said, "Bye Choo Choo Train...See ya tomorrow!  Yesterday he said the RAINBOW was pretty.  He said, Mommy look at the rainbow, its pretty, so awesome!!!  Love my kid!!!

Busy!!!!!

Saturday morning we got up because Brody had his first soccer practice.  He was so excited when he got up.  He couldn't wait to play soccer with Bennett.  Brody did not do so well.  He did not understand why he had to do drills when really all he wanted to do was kick the soccer ball.  The whole family came out to the practice including the Pecks.  At one point B went out on the field with Judd.  At the end of practice, Brody was asked if he wanted a monkey stamp.  He did not want a monkey stamp.  This boy of mine....  This week we are going to keep it just Brody, Daddy, and I.  Maybe this will keep B focused!!! :)  We stayed for Dyson's practice and Brooklyn's practice.  After that we went over to Bennett's game.  We took Brody home for a long over due nap.  Then we headed back over to the Peck's for the Sporting KC game and well deserved margs!  Saturday was a long day.  Oh, I'm glad we didn't get the weather they were calling for. 






Sunday we got up and went to Grandma and Grandpa's house.  We played over there for 3 hours.  Went home and B went down for a nap because we had to be at Baylee's game at 2:15.  Baylee lost her game but she did score a goal.  We headed home to get a change of clothes because Johnny had a double header. Brody was so good at the game.  He was playing with all the kids.  I hope Brody loves baseball as much as mommy and daddy!  Phillip was showing Brody how to pitch on the mound.  Brody was saying "Bye baseball game"  all the way to our car!  Little Stinker!!!  We all had a great time at the game!!!  We got home a 8:30 last night.  What a long long long weekend!!!!

Today I'm thankful that these chicks are staying at Aunt Candie's house!!!! 
Brody was really cute with the chicks when he was trying to pick them up. Even if he did grab the chicks by the neck and almost stepped on another one!

First Family Vacation to Disney!!!!




Friday March 9th we headed to the airport.  I was great all the way there.  Brody was in a great mood.  He couldn't wait to see Bennett, Brooklyn, Judd, Becky, Gage, Adley, Kelli, and Brad.  We got all checked in which was a simple process.  Now we wait to board.  We finally boarded the plane.  Brody was calm and quiet.  He sat in the seat very still.  Both flights, one to St Lous, and the other flight from St Louis to Orlando were perfect! 

We finally got to our condo.  I was told to wait outside.  I was so ready to get inside to see the place.  I walked in with candles lit and happy birthday balloons!  I was so surprised! 

We walked around the condo to figure out where everyone was sleeping.  We picked our rooms then the girls headed out to the store.  We pick up breakfast stuff and snacks for the theme parks. 

Once I got back from the store, Brody was ready for bed.  He didn't understand why he couldn't go to his bed.  It was really sad for me.  Brody got to sleep in bed with me all week. 








Saturday morning we woke up to find that rain was in the forecast.  We had planned to go to the beach.  We decided to go to Sea World instead.  Sea World was amazing.  We had the best time.  Our favorite part of Sea World was the dolphins, whales, and sea lions.  All the kids did awesome!  Oh, the best part of the whole day was NO RAIN!!! 















Sunday we got up early to head to the beach.  We had a 2 hour drive ahead of us.  We pulled in to Clearwater and I was in shock.  The beach was beautiful.  It took us about a hour to find a place to park.  The guys dropped all the kids and the wives off, so we could get the kids covered in sunscreen.  The sand felt like sugar between my toes.  Brody on the other hand would not put his feet down.  He wanted nothing to do with the sand at first.  Brody loved the water.  He didn't care that it was SO cold!!!  We all had a great time at the beach.  We played catch with the football.  We searched for seashells.  We made a sand castle.  We buried the kids in the sand and we played soccer on the beach.  Brody was acting crazy.  He was laying in the sand, chasing the pigeons, and throwing sand on the girls.  He was having a great time!  The sun was getting ready to go down and the clouds looked like it was going to rain.  We packed up our stuff so we could find a restaurant on the beach.  Our view at dinner was stunning.  Dinner was delicious.  Phillip and I both tired grouper and it was fantastic.  They had a character walking around.  Judd paid for all the kids to have one.  Thank you Uncle Judd!!!  Bennett want not happy with hers.  She wished she would've told the man that she was a tomboy! :)  She did not want to be a mermaid! 









Monday we got up and headed to Legoland.  Legoland was so neat.  I can't believe all the things they made out of legos.  All the kids rode the roller coaster.  Legoland was perfect for all ages.  Brody even rode his first ride at Legoland! 

MORE TO COME.......
