Soccer

I can't remember if I blogged about Lucas playing soccer this past spring or not ??? But, he's at it again in the fall league. He seems to have improved quite a bit too. Last Saturday he dominated the game and scored 7 points :) Although, tonight, it was a different story. He scored once. So, I'm not claiming him a future soccer star yet. He did grab some girl tonight and try to knock her down. Kinda embarassing ... and, since I had been cheering him on all night, they knew I was the mother!

Gary coached this game. I think he was the hottest coach out there. :)

My sister and her kids and my mom came to watch Lukie play. Lukie, despite this picture, was VERY excited to see the J boys :) Afterwards, we went out to the Indian Caverns, had a picnic and walked through the caves. I wish I had some pics, but I have been busy using my new video camera and have not taken many pics lately. These pics are actually compliments of Rhonda. :)


These are three of my georgeous nephews. I love them so much. They each have their own personalities. Josh can be very sarcastic and he and I can really joke back and forth now that he's so much older. Joey is kinda awkward and hilarious -- mostly funny b/c he doesn't even know he's funny. We call him Eyore (SP???) from Winnie the Pooh ... b/c his voice sounds just like it! Jameson is sorta shy, but very very sweet. Lucas LOVES Jay and wishes he lived with us. haha ...

Her and I have not seen each other since the wedding. Amazingly enough!! I missed her!!

The Big K

So a couple weeks ago, Lucas began Kindergarten. We have been really looking forward to this. Lucas is an extremely oinery child. I love him to pieces, of course, be he is OINERY! Gary and I are really hoping that the structure in Kindergarten helps him a little. :) Plus, I'm so excited to see all the new things he'll learn and do ... um ... Whatever, I'm just ready for someone to whip him into shape. haha ...

That morning unfortunately, I was extremely tired and sorta forgot to start taking pics until the last minute. Plus, it was raining and Lucas was getting very frustrated with all the picture taking. He was sweeter about taking pics when he was younger. Not so much anymore.

So, as I mentioned, Lucas is oinery. Gary and I jokingly talked about placing bets on how long it would take Lucas to get called into the principal's office. Well, it only took a day and a half for me to get a phone call from the teacher and for Lucas to sit at the "sit alone" table!!! When she called me at work, she told me he was talking a lot and being extremely disruptive to the classroom; therefore, she had to sit him by himself. I did not blame her one bit and really appreciated her calling me. But, was pretty embarassed at Lukie's behavior, yet not all that surprised. Lucas wants to be the class clown all the time. He thinks it's his duty to keep everyone laughing, particulary at him. Anyhow, I have not had anymore phone calls since then. We had an open house this past week and the teacher said he still is a talker, but he hasn't acted up quite like that since. Gary and I have been riding his butt a lot, so it must be working. Whew! Oh, and the teacher told us, several kids have sat there already. Whew, again!

I do love this teacher. She reminds me of the nanny on tv. You can tell she really loves all her students, but she won't put up with their crap either. So, it is a great combination. :) I feel very blessed to be able to send Lucas to this school and for him to have been assigned such a great teacher. :) Gary says he loves the school, but the jury is still out on the teacher ... haha ... whatever.

Oh, and this is funny ... first day of school he got a dresscode violation. Apparently his shorts were out of code. My goodness!! The handbook just said "uniform shorts". How the heck am I supposed to know what that means? So, I'm sure this teacher thinks the jury is still out on us as well ... haha

On a sidenote, for those of you actually reading this, I'm six weeks pregnant. Gary and I didn't waste anytime on that! The baby will be due around the end of April. I haven't even been to the doctor yet, but I am not one to keep too many secrets about myself. So, I'm telling everyone. Lucas actually told his whole classroom about it. "My mommy is going to have a baby. It's as big as a fly and it'll be here in 20 minutes." Nice.
