Rough Game...

We traveled to Iowa City High tonight for soccer. This was a really tough game! The boys didn't get much playing time. 4 yellow cards and 1 red card later, the teams tied at 1-1. We were really happy with the tie!

Game Time!

The boys had their first soccer game today! Their first two games were canceled or postponed so they pretty excited that they could actually play today! The game was at Iowa City Liberty. I didn't get many pictures because the sun was directly in our faces, but I got a few. Their team won! They both did great and had a lot of fun!

Job Shadow...

Conner had a job shadow today over at Kirkwood, where he got to see several different companies associated with automotive technology. He had a wonderful time!

Change in Plans...

Today was supposed to be the boys' first soccer game! They were all ready to go, but the rain just wouldn't stop, so the game was canceled at the last minute. Instead they were required to go to a short practice to watch another team. (Yes, in the rain!) So they bundled up and I took them over for a little while!

Rubber Bands!

Time keeps moving way too fast! Spring Break has come and gone with little to show for it but a lot of soccer practices! It was definitely nice to have the week off from work and school, but we stayed pretty busy! Nick had to work all week, so I carted the boys to practice twice a day and we ran errands in between, and fit in a little time to relax, too. Today, Conner had an orthodontist appointment and he sent me this picture! He added rubber bands today and wanted me to see what they looked like! It might have taken him a while to put them in tonight, but he will get the hang of it in no time, I am sure!
