My kids Growing Up Too Fast- Soccer Games, Birthdays, and Baby Casen Smiling

So it is 12:30 AM in the morning and I am blogging. I am so going to regret this tomorrow, staying up this late. But there are no interuptions and I can get so much more done. But I might need a nap tomorrow. I have been so tired lately, ever since the trip to CA. I was joking to Matt the other day about still having jet lag and being an hour ahead of CA and how it was still affecting me. It is actually called "I enjoy my time at night, when all the kids are asleep." But my body needs sleep!

So my kids are just growing up so fast! Corey is 6 in 2 weeks and she is playing soccer now. She absolutley loves it. She is on a team with her 3 best buds, cousins Reygan and Ryley and her friend Shaina. She is getting better and better every week and so aggressive too. She, along with her cousin Reygan each scored 2 goals last game. I actually got teary-eyed when she scored because I knew how much it was going to help her self- esteem and I remember what it use to feel like to score. I was so happy for her. And they actually won that game. Their previous 2 games, they were CREAMED. But who is keeping score, right? She just loves it and can't wait till the next game. In fact, next year, Cade will play and he will get to be on her team. Boys and girls play together at this age. Matt even got to be Corey's coach one game, when he was subbing. Corey loved it, but she said "dad was embarassing me when he kept saying, over and over again, to just kick it." She was like "We know dad. We heard you." It was fun to see. Matt was pretty good at it and he looked like he was enjoying it. He works with Corey a little bit here and there, teaching her the basics. He really is a great dad and I love it that he loves to be at all the kids events.

Cade just turned 4 and of course he wanted to go to Chuckee Cheese. So the morning of his birthday, which was Saturday, we made breakfast, opened a few presents and then that night we went to Chuckee Cheese. He had mostly girls at his party. He did have one friend Brody and his cousin Jaice. It was fun and I think the kids all had fun, but it wore me out. By the end of the night, I was SO READY to go home. I cannot believe he is 4. Now we are just waiting for them to come down with a sickness. You know how Chuckee Cheese is; so FUN, but a germ infested place.

The kids all fell asleep on the way home! I did get lucky and the baby slept the whole night at Chuckee Cheese. And we did get to visit with our friends too. And now that he is 4, we are starting to potty-train at night time and OH BOY IT IS FUN! The first night, he woke me up 3 times to change his pants. Corey would just sleep through it, but not Cade. So it sucks, but it needs to be done. He is 4 now and a BIG BOY! He loved his birthday and all the attention he got at school, church, and at home!

Casen is also growing. He is 15 weeks on Friday and he is so scrumptous. I could just hold him all day, if I did not have things to get done! He actually just rolled over tonight for the first time. But he is smiling and cooing and laughing and I just love it! He does have his days where he wants to be held all day or his days where he has gas or is not pooping and those days are terrible, but I am so enjoying him and definitely am not done at 3 kids. I want another in a year or two! I do not want him to grow so fast. SLOW DOWN!

I love being a mom and now I better go to bed or I am not going to be a functioning mom tomorrow!
