On the sidelines, that's where I'll be..

Nice weather is here and sport season is upon us. That means packing up the car(usually can hardly shut the trunk, LOL) with snacks, chairs and of course my camera to catch all the action.

Jennifer is playing on a travelling fastball team, she is the second youngest player on the team and is holding her own, so proud of her and her determination!!

Jillian is playing soccer, it is the perfect sport, it's fast, lots of running and it is sure to wear her out, LOL!! We are so proud to see her right in there, kicking that ball and enjoying every second of the sport(snack and socializing is pretty great too).

So if I am a little neglectful visiting my favourite blogs you'll know a few of the reasons why I am MIA. I will try to keep up with your Spring/Summer the best I can.

Enjoy the beautiful sunshine. ;)

Kudos for the karate kid.

Ya, my big girl got her red belt, she(and her whole family) are very proud.
Way to go karate kid!!

My sweetest distraction.

Jennifer has been doing outstanding at Karate, she is going to be tested next week for her red belt. Taking her little sister to class was never a problem for Jennifer until last week, Jillian decided sitting in the cheer leading section was not cutting it, she wanted to be a participant.
Well needless to say Jillian has gotten some attention, she is a sweet distraction, she has halted the class due to everyone (including the Sensei)laughing and stopping to comment on how cute she is. This is not sitting well with her Jie-Jie, who rolls her eyes and motions for her to stop .
The problem is when I try to get her to sit down then the meltdown starts and it's more of a disruption than if I were to let her join in the fun.

Here is a shot of the Karate kid trying to keep up with the class.

Doing some jumping jacks. I'm afraid if Jillian keeps up with the class like she has been that I am going to be asked to buy a uniform and start paying for the instruction, LOL.

Karate Kid

Tonight I signed up the eldest monkey for Karate.

I kind of had mixed feelings when Jennifer voiced an interest in this sport. Our school has a strict policy of "no hands on" as we do at home, all I invision is the Karate kid kicking, karate chopping and yelling"Ah ya" at the top of her lungs. I am hoping we don't have issues with practicing outside of class.
On the other hand the class Sensei tells me it is great for discipline, listening(Mommy likes this!!) and boosts self confidence.

I am looking forward to her first class next Thursday...

My athletic angel

Waiting for the ball- the glove

looks bigger than her.

Soccer Mom

After a very busy Victoria Holiday Weekend, it was great to wind it down with watching Princess Puddin' Pop play soccer. I love being a soccer Mom, Jen is a great player, she runs like the wind and can really kick a ball . This year she really has a fan in her sister, she was on the sidelines yelling"Go Blue", "Ya Jie Jie"(it made Mommy melt).
