Watch out Beckham...

...there is a new soccer star in town! Quinn played her first soccer game the other night, and had so much fun! We got beat a million to zero, but her team had a great time. Her coaches are Mark and Josh and her friends Kate and Sara Rodgers are on the team. Big Daddy and Gimmie came, and Tyndale LOVED walking around in the grass with Gimmie. Quinn was hesitant to get near the ball very much (probably a good human instinct...not wanting to get bulldozed!), but I'm sure the more she plays the more confident she will be about it. She was even the goalie a few times! (And yes, a totally different sport, but did you see what number she is? 5! Just like Pujols!)

Quinn's half-birthday

Our big girl is officially 4 1/2!! We celebrated her half-birthday with cupcakes and a tie-die/tattoo craft that she picked out (as you can see in the pictures....ALL over her hands). The tie die shirt turned out really cute...I'll post a picture of her wearing it soon.

Tyndale's new cry

One thing that we have been laughing about for a few weeks now is Tyndale's new "fake cry." (Where do they learn this stuff?) Here is a picture of the face he makes when he is

doing it, and there is an accompanying whine that sounds like "ayahhhh." The funniest part of the whine/wrinkled nose/squinty eye fake cry...is that our always happy boy looks like he is actually smiling! Makes us laugh every time.

why?

You have got to love the innocently questioning mind that comes with a 4 year-old! (actually, 4 and a half today! We celebrated Q's half-birthday with a half cupcake...the top half, with all the frosting...and singing half of happy birthday, and a tie-dye craft that she picked out today) She always asks the funniest questions, and I have to get better about writing them down! Earlier today there was a girl on tv who had a shaved head and she asked..."mama, why is she naked on top?" too funny. Well, that would have been enough for today, but just now as we were brushing teeth and getting ready for bed she asked why boys don't have to wipe after they go potty. Ummmm......what would you say?? I told her to ask daddy, because I didn't know...sorry Brad. He was intent on providing a correct answer, all the while trying to gloss over the whole anatomy thing....so funny, I wish you could have all been here to hear it!
