Soccer

So I know it has been a long time since I have blogged. I wish I had an excuse but mostly I am just lazy. Also this winter here in Brigham is killing me. We have mostly been holed up in the house and I haven't taken many pictures.
This last weekend though the boys started playing their first year of soccer. I was a little nervous because they both can be a little shy around other people so I didn't know if they would go out with the coach and the other kids. But their coach was a really nice guy and they went right out with him and started practicing and didn't look back to us once. I was so proud of them. They spent the majority of the game kind of just running around in circles. Preston I think was a little timid to go in and get the ball from the other kids so he kind of just stayed on the outside of the circle. Boston in the last quarter I think started to get the hang of it and actually dribbled the ball down and kicked a goal but it just missed off to the side. They had so much fun and ask me everyday when they get to play soccer.
Here are a few pictures of the day.

Getting ready for the first kick off.

Boston just threw the ball in from out of bounds.

After the game we went down to Gary's parents house for the rest of the weekend. Gary's brother had his boys for the week and Boston and Preston wanted to get to play with them. Boston and Preston love getting to play with Teagen and are always asking when we will get to see him. They had fun playing soccer, jumping on the trampoline and playing the Wii.
Here is a picture of all the boys.

Preston's Animals

I just wanted to share this picture of how Preston likes to sleep with his stuffed animals. This picture you can't really tell but I think he has 4 or 5 animals and since this picture was taken he has added to his collection.

Snow Men

This picture was taken awhile ago in January. We had a good snow fall and the boys wanted to build some snow men. These were actually the first snow men that they had ever built so it was fun for them to have that experience. The bigger snow man was Boston and Gary's and the smaller one was the one that Preston and I did, but Preston did not want to stand by it to get his picture.
