Soccer, Cell Phone, New Cake and I'm Addicted to...

Power-washing!!!

I have been power-washing everything in sight... the sand box, the fence, the sidewalk and patio in the backyard and the sidewalk in the front yard. Brian said I went a little over the top cleaning the sidewalk that is not technically our property, but it is addicting and I just can't stop! It gives me such satisfaction to see the lines of dirt spray right off! Just look at the difference on the above fence! Satisfaction, ahhhh!!!


Camden had his first two soccer games this weekend and they were fun to watch. His team is made up of 3-year old boys who all understand the concept of the game. The opposing teams that they played mostly cried and in one instance wouldn't even come onto the field to play. At one point Camden's team was playing themselves. I'm not surprised the other teams might have been a bit intimidated, because when Camden and a few others got the ball they were on a mission. They drove the ball down and didn't care who was in the way until they scored. Camden scored 5 goals in his first game and 2 in the second game. I don't think either of the other teams scored at all. We will have to work on keeping "his hands to himself" and "not jumping on the other players when they are down on the field".

Noah had his second game of the season, sorry, I don't have any pictures. The field is big and he had a great time running and driving the ball down the field. He is looking forward to playing goalie hopefully in the next game.



I made a new cake for a friend's birthday. Good practice... if he doesn't come and get it I may start eating it.

Last but not least, I have a cell phone. It has been over 5 years since we have had such a luxury and I really have not missed having one. It seems to have been a bigger deal to those around us and that is how we ended up with this phone. My employer gave it to me so that I could communicate with his son whom I take home from school. I had to have a 9th grader show me how to work the thing and for a day and a half I couldn't make it ring (that's a whole nother story). Anyhoo... he videoed the front dash of my car and every time I opened the phone it plays this video. He just left me with "this present" and didn't tell me how to fix it. So.... I won't tell you how long it took Brian and I to figure it out but it has now been corrected. Whew... I didn't know cell phones were so much work. So... I have a cell phone without the cost and I'm loving it!!!
