Soccer 2012

Kanayla just finished another season of soccer.  We tried to sign Xavien up for soccer as well but he missed the cut off age by 3 months.  Bummer but next year for sure!

The cool thing about our soccer league here was that there were no games on Saturday.  All games were played on Monday and Wednesday evenings.  So our weekends were still free!  Kanayla enjoyed her season this year on the Orange Tigers.  (I don't understand why their team name was Orange Tigers, it seems kinda of redundant to me but whatever...)  Her coach thought Kanayla was a very talented goalie.  Matthew worked really hard with her on understanding the game and her ball handling skills. 

Team picture day-- it was pouring!

Kids Bathroom

It is no secret that we lived in apartments for a long, long time.  So I think it is pretty natural that I can not stand white walls anymore.  When I am done there will not be a white or beige wall in my home!!  But I have a husband who is a painting perfectionist and is unwilling to let anyone other than him paint so the color is slow going.  In fact for Mother's Day all I asked for was for him to paint a room. 

I knew that I wanted the kids bathroom to be turquoise. I had found a sea turtle with the color in it.  I designed and made their shower curtain to go along with that theme.  I still have a few more things to do in their bathroom but I love the color and the feeling like progress is being made in my home.  (I even got Matthew to agree to paint 2 more rooms before my parents visit in August. Yipee!!)

The sea turtle that gave me the color inspiration.

You can see the shower that I embroidered all the circles on.
