Parx first soccer game

I am a soccer mom!!!! I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for this :) I really have been counting down the days/months/years since Parx was born for him to play sports... I am insane I know but it's soooo fun!  Every new milestone with kids is just AMAZING... Take a look at my little soccer stud... Soccer in Moses Lake is from 4-6 years old so Parx is one of the younger ones but you wouldn't know it.. he is an aggressive sucker!! He even scored a goal in his game... we were so proud and he said he was proud of himself haha (even though he had to use his hands once at a very pivotal point).  Anyways, I'll get off my soap box for now... we just had way to much fun at our first ever real soccer game! WAY TO GO PARX!!

 

 

The team

 

Bridger enjoyed his snacks and chair for the first half... then he ran around like a crazy boy :)

 

All my videos... we captured what we could! The end of the game would have been better but by then I was tired of recording and totally into the game :) and pretend like you can't hear my voice

 

 

 This one is just too cute.. he definitely isn't the fastest kid on the field!!!

 

 he almost scored this next goal.. soo close!

 

 

 

This next video is the one where he scores his goal!!!! gotta love 4-6 year old soccer

 

Post game interview with dad... I love how distracted he gets in this! so cute!

 

He wanted to play the ENTIRE game... his cheeks don't look as red in this picture as they really were... he was a runnin machine!

A little update on US!

There isn't anything too exciting to update... except some random/fun/cute pics of my WAY TO BIG of boys!  We have just been hangin in Moses Lake since Christmas vacation and nothing to crazy has been going on :).  

Parx finished up swim lessons last night (so sad i didn't even take a picture) and starts soccer in a few weeks.. OUTSIDE.. ya I said it.. OUTSIDE BRRRRR! The cold wont phase this kid though... he would live outside if he could.  He is getting so smart and loves to color pictures of "humans" (hahah i love that he says humans) and knows all his letters and sounds (mostly anyway).  It's getting so fun to teach him things.  His imagination is amazing and usually causes MAJOR messes but sometimes its worth the mess to have him exploring. 

Ty did something wacky to the arch of his foot and was in a boot for a few days and i guess he had/has something called Planter Something (i could never spell the second word) and he basically performed surgery on himself by snapping it! I knew it was really hurtin when he went to the doctor.. Ty doesn't just go to the doctor.. he has to have a major problem! Luckily, this problem wasn't so major but he was definately sore for a few weeks and is back at his usual business now! He's a champ! He is also taking over Yakima at the end of the month which means we wont be seeing him much and i'm just trying to not think about it!

Bridge is growing like a weed and we call him our little Mockingbird... the kid never stops talking! He mimics everything we say.  He has started to develop an opinion about a lot of different things which means he can throw some sweet tantrums.  His tantrums are even adorable though :) Last but not least... I THINK WE ARE FINALLY DONE TEETHING! or atleast we are very close... all four canines were swollen and two have poked through so far.. cross your fingers! 

As for me, i'm boring and will spare you an update!  I just love my family and love being Mrs. Ty Johnston and a mama to THESE TWO INCREDIBLE KIDS!

The boys got this fort making thing for christmas and it's been fun to play with... not so much when bridge is awake though HE IS NOW THE DESTROYER! (he looks sweet and innocent in these pics but the forts were toast about 2 seconds later)

Our homemade rocket ship!!

Bridge can run now!

 And he's still doing his same tricks!

They have a free craft at the museum here the first sat of each month and this month we made valentines! He seriously did it mostly by himself.. i helped cut some stuff out! Ty was out exploring the museum with Bridge cuz he wasn't really into valentines! Love my Bridger!

Below says, "Parx You're A hoot" and "papa" in the corner :)

This next valentine he did at our house and 100% himself.. i turned around from making lunch and he was done!! This is papa, grandma, me, ty, bridge and parx.  I don't know why when he makes "humans" he puts all the squiggly lines through them haha but I LOVE IT!

He also made a little owl which he covered up by a pirate tattoo and it says at the top, "Owl Always love you!" This time he cut everything out himself... aren't those hearts good?? I was proud! Love my Parx! 

ChRiStMaS twenty twelve!

We spent Christmas this year in Boise with our family... the kids had so much fun playing with their cousins! Ty got over a week off of work so we were able to spend lots and lots of time at home... we stayed fri to wed at Ty's parents house and then went over to my parents from wed afternoon till the next Tuesday! It was so much fun spending time with everyone but I think having Ty around for 12 days was the ultimate Christmas present.  We are getting excited to start spending some Holidays at home as hiding presents in the car just to bring them back home isn't on the top of our list anymore ;) Who knows... we are easily persuaded sometimes haha but are gonna try and hold firm :).  We love making memories and are happy we got to see so many of our family members over the holiday's this year!  

I LOVE CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS and cannot wait till my kids understand more and more each year!  We had so much fun getting a christmas tree (i didn't get to go cuz of the miscarriage.. but i got to help decorate a little!), decorating the house, watching christmas movies, writing our christmas lists, making cookies, delivering goodies to people, looking at christmas lights, making paper plate snowmen and reindeer(and other fun crafts), sitting on santa's lap, building a REAL snowman, and most importantly teaching our children the christmas story and the true meaning behind all the lights and gifts!

ONTO SOME PICS...

our lovely tree!

This boy didn't get any coal in his stocking... and Santa brought almost everything he asked for!

Santa came to our house to deliver some chocolates.. it was such a nice surprise and the Parx LOVED IT!!!! He thought he was the coolest kid on the block :)

Bridger was scared of poor santa but warmed up to him a little by the time he left...

They watched as he magically pulled out of our driveway in his car haha

At grandma and papa johnston's house... the little kid crew! Best pic i could get!

Bridger loved showing off his "sweet" tricks! Don't be jealous if your 18 month olds can't do this... jk jk jk!!

making the traditional and family favorite CHRISTMAS CUTOUT COOKIES!!

Opening their chrismas-eve jammies!!!

such cuuute boys!

these two kiddos are AWESOME!!!!! check them out!

Bridger is all about saying... "C-H-E-E-S-E" 

Christmas morning... Ty told all the kids the christmas story before they got to open any presents and see what Santa brought! (a little family tradition of mine)

Santa's presentation!!!!

Parx with his eyes closed waiting for everyone to get into the family room!

woohooo his transformer!

All this kid needed is his sucker!!

The movie bed things that santa made were a big hit!!!!

Brendan got a bike from santa... ty transformed Parx's old pink and purple into a green/black boys bike! Parx seriously has no idea it's hilarious! We went riding and he told us he thought his bike was too big! crazy kid!

look at his muscle man?!??

cutest/softest blanky ever from grandma and papa johnston! Can't wait till he'll let me put all his baby blankets away and use this one!

 He kept disappearing all morning into his coupe car.. santa knew he'd like it!

 We headed to grandma and papa nield's after nap for christmas dinner and presents...

Bridge got a dog as big as Kayla!!

We were so close to having a white christmas.. it snowed like 10 hours too late!! but we got to play in it the day after and build this snowman!

The boys drinkin their hot cocoa.. i thought this was such a precious moment!

We did some mega sledding with the cambos and tyler and ky... took an hour to get there but we did it!!

Bridge looks like he hates life but no joke he loved sledding!

awww ya.. i love each and every one of these boys!

Bridge about to take out Parx

Tego and P man!

 And I had to post this one cuz of her sweet snowsuit and to announce that my baby sister got engaged the sunday before christmas.... wedding date to be announced! CONGRATS MRS OKAMURA!

Those were just a few of the fun things that went down in Boise this trip!!! LOTS and LOTS of game nights till the wee hours of the night.. totally worth being exhausted every single day! Redneck life was a big hit at ben and kathy's... everyone should play that game in their lifetime at least once!!!! haha i'm laughing just thinking about it! WE MISS YOU FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!!!!!!!!
