SOCCER!!!!
Abigail & Jenna started soccer this past Wednesday and they had a BLAST!! They play on the Liberty United SC Red team. Their have their first game in a couple of weeks if anybody wants to come and cheer them on.

| Their coach lined them all up to have a scrimmage, yellow vs. red. All the kids brought their own individual ball to practice. He made them all put their balls on the sideline for the scrimmage. Once he got them all ready to go and put the ball in between the two teams he told them, "Now your job is to get your ball into the goal at the other end of the field." He blew his whistle and all the kids turned took off to the sideline to get "their" balls. Not one of them touched the game ball. It was HILARIOUS!! |

Pumpkin Patch 2010
Jamiee composed this post in October 2010 but never published it and I'm not sure why. So here it is!
We went to Carolyn's Pumpkin Patch in Liberty on Saturday and had a blast! They had so many things for the girls to do there. They played on swing sets, forts, had duck races, went through a corn maze or two, fed the animals and went on a hayride.

You can come up with your own captions for these. Post them in the comments if you have something funny/witty/creative to say.

Kansas City update, finally!!
I know, I know...its been seriously FOREVER since we updated. I have been meaning to but pictures take a very long time to upload on here and I only have small bits of time free to do anything on the computer.
We moved in October and were here in KC for the holidays and I have to say we have been so blessed to be here and already have such great friends and also to live in such a kid-friendly area/neighborhood. For Halloween we went to the trunk or treat at church and the girls had a ton of fun painting pumpkins, bobbing for doughnuts, and getting alot of candy. On Halloween we went out in our neighborhood and met some new friends and got some more loot :)
Thanksgiving was a blast, we went to my sister Ashley's (3 hour drive) for the festivities and spent time with my niece and nephew as well as my aunt and uncle. We ate so much I think I gained like 10 lbs just over that weekend alone. While we were gone we received several calls from members of our ward offering to share their thanksgiving with us because we were new to the area and most of them did not know yet we had family close. Such an awesome ward we have! I can't tell you how many times I have been offered service since we have been here, awesome! After Thanksgiving Ashley and Bryan drove back to our place and stayed for Claire's birthday party which was toy story 3 themed and was a blast! She got so many gifts and so many ppl showed up, our basement was filled with kids playing for a few hours.
Side note: for those of you who do not know, my parents are going through a divorce so my mom moved here to Missouri to live closer to family, so she is alot closer now as well which is great for the grand kids. She lives currently with my sister Ashley and her family.
Before Christmas we all went on a road trip to Chicago to my older sister Tracy's house for 4 days. We ate a lot and all the kids had a lot of fun playing together, its not too often that the cousins all get together and play. It is only a 5 hour drive now to Chicago so it is not too bad at all. We exchanged gifts from each other and all the kids from aunts/uncles/grandma. Bella, Abbi, and Jenna were like peas in a pod and really got along great the whole time! We got a babysitter for one night so the adults could go out and have some kid-free fun. We went to a fantastic dinner at Webster grill and then cosmic bowling! My mom had not been bowling in such a long time so we all were glad to see her get out and have some fun.
Once we got home from our Chicago trip Christmas was right around the corner and we stayed at home. Christmas morning was so much fun for the girls, they all ripped open santa's gifts in what seemed like seconds. Then the fighting began...they all wanted to play with each others gifts and that was a crazy mess but we made it through ;) I made a ham for lunch/dinner. John was fortunate enough to have the entire week off until after new years so we spent a lot of time together as a family relaxing and playing.
New Years was very low key, we actually went to bed a bit before midnight. We were pretty exhausted.
Abbi, Jenna, and Claire are very happy and enjoying it here in KC. They both have made a lot of friends here. Jenna and Claire have been having weekly play dates with the little girl that lives next door, Mackenzie as well as church playgroup which is also weekly. Jenna is so shy but is starting to get out of her shell a bit. I am currently looking into Pre-K's in the area for her to begin in August of this year. She needs to be exposed to children her age and have some more structure. Claire is is just like Abbi, never met a stranger and very social. Abbi is doing great in school and loves her class and teacher. I am so impressed in how much she has learned since we moved here. She is learning how to read words and sound them out now which is amazing to me.
Baby boy Shores is doing great. He is getting bigger (so is mommy) and is going to be induced on March 24th. Doc predicts an 8 pounder! We will see, most of my babies were pushing 8 lbs or bigger (Jen was 9 pounds). We are anxious for him to get here, the girls are also anxious. They love babies and will be a great help I am sure.
I cannot upload any pictures right now but will post some soon.
