Gonna Be a Socca Playa (plus fair and preschool pictures)

Mason had his first soccer game this last Saturday. He absolutely loved it. He scored something like 4 goals and did very well. After his first practice on Wednesday he told me he wanted to play soccer every night and "all the time before I go to bed". Then on Saturday night while I was tucking him in he said, "I scored a lot of goals mom. And everyone cheered for me. I heard them saying, 'Go Mason! Go!'". This is one thing we will miss while we are in DC. Luckily he has spring games too so he won't completely miss out.

After the game we went to the Utah State Fair. We got rained on but had a great time.

And just because I think these pictures are cute of Mason going to preschool. The letter of the week was C so he brought his Cat in the Hat and a Choo Choo train for show and tell.

Sage is a joy beyond measure. Seriously, this girl is sweet and funny. She has such a great sense of humor and it shows in everything she does. She only likes books if they make her laugh (which there are quite a few), she has a courtesy laugh, she thinks her brother is hysterical, she is quick to offer smiles to old bearded men. In her blessing, Nic blessed her to be a peacemaker. The other day Mason was throwing a whopper of a tantrum and after nearly 2 hours of this Sage just walked over to him (he was laying on the ground) and sat her soggy diapered bum right on his head. I started laughing, then Mason started laughing, then Sage started laughing. A bit later Mason was starting up again and Sage (who was playing with a drum stick on some toys) gave him the "oh no you di'int" look, walked over and knocked him on the head once with the stick. Then she turned around and went back to her toys. Mason fake cried for a minute then started to laugh. Her methods may be unconventional, but they work.

Sagie girl:

-Still loves food.

-Is a monkey. She will climb anything. Usually successfully.

-Likes to play cars with her brother.

-Likes to run.

-Always wants to be outside.

-Has a better tan than anyone else in the family. (This is despite more than adequate sunscreen application.)

-Stops people in the store with her beautiful eyes.

-Has finally stopped "spitting up"!

-Has learned 2 new words: "cheese" and "hot". Oh, and "uh oh".

-LOVES shoes. I have to put them on her 50 times a day and if we ever walk pass them in the store she starts sticking her feet out and pointing to the shoes.

-Will eat anything.

-Is binky free and a great sleeper. She usually sleeps from 7pm to 7:30am. Although, the other day she slept in until 11! It was crazy.

-Loves to dance. She has some serious moves and will do them on command (with or without music).

-Has a really funny "surprise face" that was perfected by cousins up at the cabin.

-Likes to grab my hand and lead me everywhere and nowhere. I kinda like it.

-Has 10 teeth and counting.

Contemplative

She loves the splash pad by our house. I love it too.

She will put up with a lot of Mason's games. This one is called, "Being drug around the house by a balloon sword."

She is very helpful.

Surprise face.

Snuggler

Teef.

Slightly less surprised face.

We love this baby girl of ours.
