Soccer Game!!

As soon as we moved to Hobbs we signed Allison up for soccer. We were sad to leave our team in Midland but we are hopeful for a new season here in Hobbs. It turned out that all the coaches returned for Allison age and Richard wouldn't be able to coach Allison. Then surprisingly Richard was asked if he would coach the next year up from Allison age. He agreed if Allison could play on the team, so Allison is know playing on an older team!! It's gonna be an interesting season, are team has had a new coach ever year and they definitely need to improve there technique. We won are first game 10-4, Allison scored 3 goals. The girls we played were big and I am so proud of Allison she played her heart out!! I hope we can survive next weeks game supposedly its a tough team that we lose to every year.

A Birthday

Yesterday was my sisters birthday!!! We had planned a few months ago that it would be fun if everyone came into to Hobbs to visit us and celebrate my sister Courtney's birthday. My mom came into town first, a little before noon. So we surprised Allison and had lunch with her!! I was graced with my mothers talent in decorating! Every time I move I don't even bother placing furniture, pictures, and decor through out the house. I just don't have a good sense, my mother on the other hand it is truly her gift! My mother got to work and preformed her magic and I am in love with the changes to my home! Once my sisters came into town we enjoyed lunch together and a few game of cards!!! And after a much anticipated week without Richard he made it home from his training!!!!!

Weekend Wrap-up!

Friday~ At lunch time we left for Midland. We had plenty of things to do before my brother in laws birthday day dinner. I left the kids at my sisters to play while Richard and I ran around town. We enjoyed dinner at my sister and brother in laws. It was such a beautiful night that we got to enjoy with family. Kids had a blast playing with silly string and running after my niece's new puppy. I even got to see my niece off to her senior homecoming!

Saturday~ My friends baby shower was bright and early Saturday morning! It was a complete success! Lots of goodies for the mom to be, great food, and fabulous company with old friends! My sister even won the bottle of Hershey kisses! After the shower my sisters and I enjoyed lunch a Jason's deli, I can honestly tell you I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Discussing things with my sisters like who has the biggest but, who has the smallest feet, and other body parts hahaha!

Sunday~ We enjoyed church at my moms Ward. Then a fabulous late lunch at my moms, her famous tacos!!! We ended the day at the pool!

Monday~ Allison had her dentist appointment early but afterwards we enjoyed another famous meal of my mothers her BIG breakfast! Later we visited my sisters house and made a angle food cake from scratch. And then I had a huge grocery store trip to make! We were even able to make one last trip to the pool! By mind I barely had my head screwed on! I even drove to my in laws instead of the hotel at one point! We had to drive back quickly to Hobbs for Allison first soccer practice! Then Richard was off back to Midland for a week of training, boo!

Off to..

Off to Midland for a few days, Cooper sure is ready!! I pulled out the suite cases and went to the kids room to grab a few things and Cooper disappeared! I kept calling for him and I could hear a giggle, and he peaked out of the suit case, silly boy! I am excited for our busy weekend in Midland we have a lot to do, promise to blog about it when we come back home.

Open House

On Tuesday night Allison had open house at her elementary school! It was nice to get a better look at her class room and to chat with the teacher a bit. Apparently Allison is loved by many and her teacher had nothing but nice things to say about her. Allison's teacher talked about how caring Allison is, helpful, and just a sweetheart! The nicest thing she said was that Allison makes a wonderful addition to the classroom! I am so happy with the school here and Allison seems to be adjusting beautifully!

Labor Day Weekned

Our Weekend didn't start out like we thought but we were very blessed with a short yet helpful visit from the in laws. I don't know who was more excited for the visit me or the kids! The kids and I spent some time with Grandma. Richard his nephew and dad went to pick up our new table. After they came back we all went and enjoyed milkshake together!! Our Saturday started out a little lazy with a big breakfast, the kids played outside and Richard put together the table. I think the children were more excited about the hug boxes that the table came in. The boxes turned into little house for the kids. They brought toys and blankets then played for an hour in them! For dinner we were invited to a friends house! They have a brand new baby and a two in a half year old son. I was so thankful how well Cooper played with there son. Richard and I definitely enjoyed the adult time. Sunday was an extremely relaxing day. The only thing we did was go to church and Skype my mother that night. Monday we kept the kids busy taking them out to lunch at McDonald's, to the park, to fish, and to see the movie The Smurfs.

September

Allison has been in school for 12 days! Allison wakes up with no problems and gets ready for school with out a fuss. Allison definitely has an opinion about what she wants to wear to school and how she wants her hair done. She likes to walk herself into her classroom. I have seen her mature so much since Kindergarten. Allison is reading her books with ease and her hand writing has definitely improved too! Also Allison made a 100 on her first spelling test! Wednesday's are early release days and of course I remembered to pick her up. Although as soon as I saw Allison come from the school doors she ran to me and said "Mom I forgot to tell you it was early release day and I thought you forgot!" Allison has made a few friends but I think she is still feeling the Summer Blues!

Cooper and I are enjoying some alone time together. Every morning we go for a leisure walk at the duck pond and then I let him play for about half an hour at the park there. That little boy has quite the personality. One morning while we were at the park some children came to play and this one little boy asked Cooper what his name was and Cooper replied "My name is Peter Parker." I couldn't believe it! So during the day I ask him what his name is and some times I get the right answer some times I get "Tony Stark, Peter Parker". Yesterday afternoon the whole family went for a walk around the neighborhood and Cooper was running and took a pretty hard fall such a bad fall Allison started crying asking Cooper if he was okay. Surprisingly Cooper took the fall pretty well and got up hug Allison and said "Its okay Alli I didn't die!" This morning Cooper and I enjoyed some quiet time watching Home Alone, that lil boy couldn't stop laughing honestly neither could I (I actually love that movie), Cooper loved the movie and said things like "That's so funny or he got hit in the pee pee."
