Choices!

While diving home tonight I told the kids they had a "choice".  They could either get their jobs done tonight so that we could just get up and go swimming in the morning, or they could do them in the morning and go swimming a little later.  Here's the conversation that followed.
Aldey(with a very concerned, serious voice): Mom, I lost my choices.  They are not in my room.  I can't find them.
Mom:  You lost your choices?
Adley:  Yes.  They aren't in my room.  I can't find them.
Brecklyn: Adley, you can't loose your choices. 
Adley: Yes you can.  Where are your choices?
Brecklyn:  I don't know.
Adley:  That means you lost them Brecklyn!

Game night!

We've had a really busy and fun game season this year.  Kinzlee, Adley and Brecklyn played soccer and Corbin wanted to try baseball.  Kinzlee has become really fast this year.  No matter where the ball was, she would hustle and stay right on it.  Way to go Kinzer!  Adley and Brecklyn were hilarious to watch.  Brecklyn's first game she kept picking up the ball and holding it over her head, away from the other girls trying to get it.  Adley would just follow the crowd and smile!  Corbin is our little born an athlete.  He was so great they asked him to try out for all stars.  He tried out yesterday and made the team.  Looks like our June and July are now full.  He better appreciate this someday!  Way to go guys!  Mom loved watching you play!
