She shoots, She SCORES!!!

My wild man!

My soccer STAR!

Mackenzie had her first soccer game of the fall season on Saturday, and she got her first goal! We were so excited. I am that obnoxious mom on the sideline going crazy, so I'm sure all of the other people are just wanting me to shut up - but I just can't help myself! So we got to go out for ice cream that night to celebrate. Way to go sweetie!


I left yesterday and am out here in Philly for 2 days. It was hard to leave everyone yesterday, especially Austin. But I set explicit rules for no one to grow up while I was gone, for Austin not to learn how to crawl, and to not cry when you call mommy because it will break my heart. Well, Mackenzie has been sobbing each time I talk to her, and Aaron called, no joke, before I was out of the subdivision and said as soon as he laid Austin on the floor when I left he crawled 3 times before falling on his tummy. Guess they didn't like mommy's rules!


Good thing did happen yesterday. Whole waiting for our flight, they were calling for volunteers to go on the later flight - well we took them up on it and got a $250 voucher!! If I could only get that offer again on the way home and Aaron and I could fly away for a little vacation. Who knows how I'll use it. So many options...use it to go somewhere myself like to my brothers for a "free trip", go somewhere with Aaron and only have to buy 1 ticket, give it someone as a gift, hang on to it to be able to use for our anniversary weekend - this is the most likely scenario. It will open up more options of where we could go. Well, guess I better get ready to start working today.


And Austin is saying MaMa!!!!!! This is the first kid that has ever said MaMa first!!! I kinda got it on video here. And I really think he says it like he is talking to me, of course he may have also just figured out that that sound is very useful to get mommy to drop everything she is doing to come over and shower me with kisses and attention!
