Viva Las Vegas at Red Rock

The boys have been taking swim lessons at the Y most of the winter and spring so that when we travel with Daddy they could enjoy the swimming pool on their own and not always have to have one of us in the water. Lessons progressed well, and they are definitely more comfortable in the water. We had an enjoyable time at Red Rock swimming and also went to see Monsters vs Aliens in 3D IMAX. Very Cool!! It was a great time but both boys also came down with Bronchitis while we were there and we spent some time at the Urgent Care and Hospital. We were concerned to have them checked out since Daddy had just returned from Mexico City the week before....thank goodness no flu symptoms!! Here are some of our fun in the sun pictures.

More Soccer Fun -- boys score Goals!! Whoohooo!!

I have been watching the boys on the soccer field and wondering who is my soccer player. Jackson sure hustles and sometimes Austin seems a little uninterested. Well, what does that have to do with anything, because their last game they both really got into it and scored! It may have been many things, but I am chalking it up to my pep talk I had with them prior to the game. We sat in a circle and I told them how important it was to take the ball with their feet away from the other team and to forget everything I had ever told them about being nice and sharing. It was an awkward moment for me and obviously not for them because they completely understood. I also told them if it helped to make a grrrrr sound if they wanted. Jackson jumped at that and Austin rolled his eyes at me. The actual soccer game was awesome. All the players had a sense of pride and they all tried real hard. Next soccer experience is British Soccer Camp the first of June!

BATMAN LIVES!!

Austin is getting ready to have a birthday party and loves his superheros. He also really likes Star Wars, but we have decided to hold off on SW for next year's party! He has a Batman costume that he likes to dress up in and save the world from evil! He wasn't feeling very good when I snapped these pictures, but still proud to be associated with Batman.

Tell it to the Judge!

Jax can really dress up a hat and put some drama into a normal afternoon...

Sharp shooter Jax!

Pee Wee Soccer Game 2 - learning the game!

Share, share, share. Don't take that from your brother without asking. Be polite. It's not nice to take things from your friends. Well all that means nothing when playing soccer. The boys love to run and see their friends, but we are still working about taking the ball away from others. This is a great experience into the world of organized team sports and provides some wonderful entertainment.

The team we played tonight had some advanced players that know how to move the ball down the field at break neck speed (or at least it seemed that way). Austin loves to be goalie and seems to really take it seriously. Jack loves to be playing with big brother and his new and old friends on the team. Coach Benson is awesome with the kids and does such a nice job. We appreciate his attitude working with so many 4-5 year olds!! Takes patience and dedication. If you see this blog Coach...we love you!!!
