Leah & Jake on Teacups (watching them made my tummy turn!)
We are half way through our soccer season this year and our team the Sunrise Misfits are doing great! So far we are 3-0-1 and we are only getting better. The boys this year play very well together and are a great team. This season we have 7 returning players and 8 new. It is so much fun to watch them all play. I think having Jake is all of those soccer camps this summer really paid off. He much more confident and assure of himself that no matter what happens in the game he is proud of himself and we are too.Next year we will be twice as busy with soccer since Jake will hopefully go to U12 Boys select and Kate will be U6 mix. She is already Sean's 3rd asst. coach and has been practicing with the boys. We are so proud of Misfits especially our #9!
So our trip to Disneyland was AWESOME! We had a lot of fun there this year as we do every time we go but to see the kids excitement made it so much fun. Sean & I were talking the night before we left and I told him that I think we may have a little daredevil on our hands with Kate. "Price" is always right ;) Jake tends to be like Sean with roller coasters (does not care for them) where Kate is like me (loves 'em). They both loved Star Tours, Pirates, & Haunted Mansion (which was done up as A Nightmare before Christmas), among many others. But little Tink (Kate's nickname) wanted to go on BIG rides so we decided to take her on Big Thunder (Jake opted to sit out with his Taw, my mom). She LOVED it so and told us along with our niece Leah that she wanted to get wet on a ride. Well an employee heard her and told us she is tall enough for Splash Mountain..... my first thought UMM NO! But the lady said that she would be safe and would really like it. So Sean limped his way over to get fast passes for myself, Leah, Kate, and himself (again Jake hung out with his Taw). So this time "Price" was wrong. The entire time we were in line she kept telling anyone and anyone who would listen that this is so exciting she is gonna get really wet! So we get on and Sean sits in the very back with her while the niece and I sit in front of them. For most of the ride she was standing up because of her height and was squealing with delight. When the drop came all you can hear is Sean saying "Sit Down" and Kate yelling "wee dis is so great and I get all wet I LOBE this ride". They take a picture of you when you go down the drop but every time we went on it all you see is Sean and this little patch of red hair in his armpit! Not much of a picture. Jake had a great time as well and faced his fear of heights and the unknown. He went on more rides then we thought he would and told us that he will go on more next time we go. He love Buzz Lightyear the most since he was able to shoot against his dad and a few times beat him. We promised Sean we would not tell anyone (oops). But poor Sean and Jake they both were having some discomfort with Sean's knee and Jake's feet. But all in all we had a great time. In fact Sean & I were talking today and we thought that we would try to again next year. It was the best time to go and enjoy with the kids!
Here are a few pictures that were taken at the Police show a few months ago. As you can see the drummer is my favorite though Sting is close! Thank You Carl for taken these (the ones I took look horrible)! The one on the left is the one I took to show Carl that I won our bet. Before the show we were talking about what songs we wanted to hear. I said that I would love to hear Demolition Man, but Carl said that was a Sting song not a Police. I told him that it was originally a Police song but Sting re-mixed it for the movie under the same name! This is just one of many times that I again was RIGHT and he was W-R-O-N-G!
Well life has been busy for all of here! Jake is back at school and is doing great. It helps that he loves his teacher too! Kate is finally potty trained (YIPPY), and is still sassy as ever! Sean hours changed at work and now he is back home in the evenings again. Jake has had 2 soccer games and is playing better then ever. Kate is even starting to participate in the practices, she is not happy sitting on the sidelines cheering. It will so exciting to see her play in micro soccer next year, we all think she will be the first U6 player to receive a red card. She is known to not play very nice!
We also paid a visit to Jake's foot Doctor and it was decided by all 4 of us (including Jake) that he will get the surgery to fix his flat feet. He is experiencing more pain and now it's growing more constant. Plus the Dr. noticed that his heel bone is now being pushed put by the other bones in his feet. His surgery is scheduled for Dec. 17th and he will have to stay off his feet for 2 weeks! At first he was not happy since he can't be on his feet for that long and because he can't walk on Christmas. We told Jake that he would have the down stairs to himself (along with the big TV) and that he will get sick pay just like his dad did when he had his surgery! As you can see our Disneyland Vacation is only a week away!!!!!!!
