New Routine

With the girls in school, I get to spend the mornings with the 2 little ones. Andrew has really grown up and learned to enjoy his baby sister. Cambria, of course, loves any attention from her brother and sisters.

Cliff's Baptism

Congrats to Clifford on his Baptism. Its always nice to see a father baptize his son - Mega warm fuzzies all over. Cyndi also had a great dinner afterwards. She always has been able to throw a great party. It was just a wonderful rare occasion where all the Burks' grandkids were together.

1st game of the season

The girls had their 1st soccer game ever. It was crazy trying to find our team amongst the 20 teams playing at the same time. The girls still have a lot to learn about the game, as does Mommy but the experience is fun so far.

Seeing the kids play is so worth the cost of registration and the trips to practice in the heat of the day, during dinner time :)

 

 

Soccer Mom

I've been a band nerd, a polka geek, a domestic goddess, a nut case, and now I get to add on "Soccer Mom." Although I have dreaded the title (I don't know why... all the soccer moms that I've met have been awesome), I have embraced the fact that kids come home tired enough to go to bed without a fight. Woo Hoo!

Kimmee loves being a part of her first team.

Caroline and her friend from softball and school.

I didn't realize how much Cambria would like laying out on the grass.

My little Mandrew. He wants so much to play on Kimmee's team. He can kick better and is taller than 1/2 of the 4 and 5-year-olds on the team.

We're really fortunate that the coach allows Andrew to play with the kids.

1st Day of School

Both of the girls went to school today. Caroline in 1st grade and Kimmee in Pre-school. Andrew learned a new word after dropping them off; Hallelujiah!

Of course Mom, I'll look cute for the picture.

Must I take a picture? I'm trying to play with the cool looking toys.

I get to stay, right?

Water Baby

Cambria sure does love her bath. She kicks her legs, constantly... last night for 15 minutes. I think that this little girl's going to be a fish.

Better than the Radio City Rockettes!

Our Anniversary

True to couples with small children, we celebrated our anniversary with our children by going to dinner at Golden Corral. Still, the kids helped us appreciate our eternal family, created 9 years ago.

Voltron!

Thanks to Netflix, our kids get to grow up with some of the great cartoons of the 80's. Voltron is one of Kimmee's favorites. She annouces them as:

VOLTRON! OFFENDERS OF THE UNIVERSE!

Lava!

Gotta love chocolate lava cake.... or just chocolate pudding cake. Whatever you call it - it's just good!

Going Domestic

Thanks to Randy for bringing home some donated plums and Grandma Pete for teaching us how to turn the fruit into jam. Now I have to bake some bread and whip some butter!
