My Little Soccer Stars!

Harry started Smart Start soccer on Thursday. It was supposed to start last week, but the weather was absolutely awful, so they started a week late. Yesterday was gorgeous and in the high 60's, so it was perfect for their first day.

The boys stretching out....

Listening to directions.

I wasn't actually aware that either of them knew how to do this. Maybe I need a whistle??? :)

Harry- SO cute with his soccer shirt and shinguards!

Even Memma got a turn! :)

Next week, Jay is in Vegas, so I'm not exactly sure how its going to work out. There is way too much lap running for me to get out there with Harry, not to mention I don't really trust Emma to "sit nicely" while I work with Harry.

Massive Picture Update

I figured I would just throw all these in one post rather than try and be actually helpful and organize them. At least this way, you get to see them right?

We did our annual egg hunt up at Green Bluff. This is my very favorite that we go to, and this year it was WAY warmer than last year, so a roaring success! Plus, they give us ice cream for breakfast and pumpkin donuts, so we were all pretty happy. :)

Hunting eggs at Green Bluff.

Emma (lucky little girl!) won a BIKE at the egg hunt on base this year. She found about 2 eggs in her age group's hunt, so we let her run out there with Harry's group (she easily could pass for his age!), and sure enough, the kid won the grand prize! LOL

We had an Easter potluck/egghunt/bbq at our friends Todd and Sandra's, as well. GREAT fun for all of us!

Jay caught a couple kitties- and also participated in Mustache March. Thank GOD that's over! :)

We had one gorgeous day in March, so the kids and I ran out to the Finch to take some nice photos. Harry was handsome as always...

Emma was full of attitude and way to cool for me.

But they did take a couple nice ones together. And she even took off her sunglasses for a few! :)

oh yeah, and I went to Mexico. :) I have more pictures from the trip, but for some reason blogger hates them all and won't let me upload any of them. :( I'll keep trying....

Big NEWS!!!

Okay, so I KNOW I suck at blogging lately. I'm fully aware, but it doesn't help me be any better. I'm scatterbrained, pregnant, and way overwhelmed at the moment. However, we have had some pretty huge news at our house, specifically this week!

#1. We got new bunkbeds. These are the ones I've been dreaming over for years, and I finally found them on Craigslist for super cheap. PLUS, the kids broke Harry's bed, so we were in need of them, instead of me just 'wanting.'

#2. We got orders to GERMANY!!! WaHOOOOOO!!!! We're still working out our leave dates, but we *think* its going to be around the end of June. Jay has to do a 4-5 week training course in FL before that, so we're also trying to figure out when that's going to be. And of course, we'd like to get back to visit family before we go, so that's all in the works as well. Be patient with us, when we get some concrete dates, we'll set up a good timeline and let everybody know.

#3. We're having a BOY!!!! I had my regular scheduled non-ultrasound OB appointment on the 25th. I mentioned to my fabulous doctor that we'd gotten orders and that we would be likely moving this summer, and thus not having her deliver the baby (I'm very sad about this fact!). She said, "wow, I bet you're really anxious to find out what you're having then! Why don't we walk down to ultrasound and have a quick look?" I was flabbergasted and quickly agreed. After almost 45 minutes of the little stinker sleeping on my spine, we got him to wake up and show us his "goods." After which, he immediately curled back up and went to sleep. FYI, if I'd KNOWN I was having an ultrasound, I'd have had some sugar and and/or a pop before going in there so that he would've been nice and active! So, now the Butterfield house is going to have yet another male, and Emma and I are outnumbered. Which is okay, she's quite enough girl for our family! LOL

Baby Butterfly

Take the poll above and tell me what your guess is for Baby Butterfly! We'll be finding out sometime early April and I'm curious to see what everybody thinks!

My Emma

Emma wiped out in front of Harry's preschool the other day. She's pretty proud of her huge scab, I'm just happy the swelling has gone down and she didn't get another concussion!!!

Also, funny little story about Harry's dr appt on Weds:

Dr. D: Harry, can you count to ten?

Harry: Ten.

Dr. D: No, Harry, like the numbers 1-10.

Harry: I DID. Ten.

Emma: No, Hawwy, like this! Uno, dos, tres....

(I told you the kid watches too much Diego!!!)
