a busy weekend...

Phew did I ever have a lot to do on my 3 days off! Its great though I love it! Ever since I broke away from my stifling relationship with James I find myself with more friends and options and things to do with the kids! I realized the other day just how much I was ignoring the kids when I was with him, and how much more attention I pay to them now. Kris is great with them especially now that they are all getting used to each other. He met Rocky today at the Soccer Jamboree and there wasn't really much awkwardness that I felt. The three of us (and my Mom) watched the game, comforted Alex when he got hurt (head to his teeth), and played with Alicia. Maybe we can be one big happy family..........


Becka, Kiera, Alicia, and Ty at the waterfront on Friday

After Alex got hurt during soccer today.

The Future Finstads at the Applefest Saturday

Makin friends with a Jersey...she even stood up to let me pet her!

What a look--"I got your boyfriend Mom!"

At my friend Marie's baby shower Saturday afternoon. She's due the 16th! She was in Arizona until last week. Now she and her husband are living 15 minutes away in Fairfax!

Haha at first Sarah I thought SOB meant S.O.B. and I was trying to figure out who you were talking about LOL!!!

Alicia does indeed seem to have a crush--she wanted him to carry her everywhere and whenever he picks her up she cuddles right against him and sniffs her blankie!! LOL!! She's also in love with a more age-appropriate little boy next door...reminds me of me and Ryan V. TOTALLY!!

Astrid I will see you soon indeed...no more than 2 weeks from now!!!!

EEeeeeeeeeee!!

I pray you're doing well today....God Bless!
