Kickin' it with a soccer ball and some grandparents

I checked out the definition of soccer mom on Wikipedia and found this gem:

The phrase soccer mom generally refers to a married middle-class woman who lives in the suburbs and has school age children. She is sometimes portrayed in the media as busy or overburdened and driving a minivan or SUV. She is also portrayed as putting the interests of her family, and most importantly her children, ahead of her own. The phrase derives from the literal, specific description of a mother who transports and watches her children play soccer.


Well then it is official that I am a soccer mom. My two soccer stars loved to get out there and run around. This was our first attempt at competitive sports and found that our boys are quite different when it comes to being aggressive. Either way our boys had a ton of fun.






To keep up with tradition Grandma and Grandpa White took a trip out to see our family after the tax deadline had passed. We had lots of fun visiting the aquarium at the Mall of America, riding a surrey, and playing in a flooding river. We did a lot more, but sometimes we forget to pull out a camera to capture the moments. It is always a blast to have them come even though our kids go through detox afterwards.






Saren was a little reluctant to walk in the river. In her defense it was really cold water from the snow melting.
