I wonder how many of you knew that my parents just recently released a cd? I know you all repeatably tell me about my astounding singing voice and endless music capabilities (note the sarcasm) therefore assumed I must be the product of two talented musicians. Well guess what I am. My Mom and Dad are part of
We also typically have Ruby and Ben that make the baby collection complete but they were away today. 
Good thing cousin Jacob was there to fill her need to mother the young. 
We started out with a birthday party for Carissa. We had a great time eating, playing games and just hanging out with close friends. I still say Ryan shouldn't of put Canary for his first pet....I mean really.
Saturday was Sports Mania. Caleb was first with his final session of soccer. He is grinning from ear to ear while playing. I have to admit he is fast and really show drive and determination. His biggest weakness is his size those darn feet just can't keep up to the rest of him. Josh had his little tournament of games. Game 1 he was into it running keeping up with the play still preferring to be in net (thank goodness they rotate), Game 2 he found the middle of the field and pretty much just hung out. Game 3 he was back and making purposeful passes and attempts it was great to see!
After soccer we race off to Hockey. The boys are in Fun Hockey and that is just what it is. A time for them to develop there skating skill and hockey skills through fun drills and games. They both have improved leaps and bounds with their skating. 
After hockey off to have lunch with Daryl and Janelle to debate the differences between soccer and hockey through the eyes of the spectator parent. I see many a days in my future to be in a rink. I don't mind that part it is getting all the gear off and on....YIKES. Brainwashing and bribery are in the works to get hockey on these boys minds and trust me it is NOT their Moms doing this. 
After lunch. We had a yummy dinner at my parents house. It was wonderful for all 14 of us to get together. My mom used to have us all on a weekly basis, nothing like cooking for 14 once a week(she didn't seem to mind). But with the busy school schedules we have not been able to do that. 
After the night came morning an early one at that. Off to church for a very special Sunday. Our littlest nephew Jacob was dedicated today. We kept our kids in the service so they could be apart of praying for him. Abby was quite cute when she saw her Auntie and Uncle go to the platform she figured she should go too, I managed to distract her. Then when they were stepping off the stage she cheered and clapped saying yeah uncle Marc. Very cute.
