Last weekend was the absolute best weekend we have had in a long time. On Saturday Brock and I went to his soccer game and Aly and Daddy stayed home. Well, when we got to the game Brock said he didn't want to play yet he wanted to watch for a minute. So a few minutes go by and the coach yells to Brock to come out and play so he hurries up and gets in the game. After about two more minutes or so Brock sees his chances and he bee lines it for the ball. He kicked the ball and was able to break away from the cluster of kids and he heads for the goal. I had my camera in my hand and it was even turned on but as soon as I realized he had the ball and was running for the goal I immediately dropped everything in my hands and started running up the sidelines and screaming "Go Brock!!" He gets to the goal and there is another player right on his heals and he doesn't hesitate he takes his shot and he scores. I have never been more proud then that moment. As soon as he scores I started jumping up and down and the other parents are all jumping up and down and yelling and he looks at me with this huge smile and comes running my way and literally jumps into my arms saying "I did it mom! I scored, did you see it, I did it!" I hugged him and I had tears running down my face I was so proud of him. It was just so exciting as this season he never really wanted to play in the actual games only the practices. Needless to say he went back in the game and continued playing but he didn't get to score anymore. He came really close a few times but it was ok he got at least one shot in!!! I know James was kicking himself this time because the one game he misses Brock scores and I forgot to get pictures. Oh-well!
So that was our new and exciting news for this week. We are all getting ready for Thanksgiving which we are hosting at our house and James' side of the family will be coming along with my mom, chad, Nana, and hopefully Zarek. So this will be fun and exciting as James and I have never cooked a Turkey before and we get to have most of our family all together so its easier on us this year.
Aly is doing great. She was sick last week but doing much better. She just went to the doctors this morning and she is 22lbs 2oz and 28inches tall. She is finally eating her baby food like a champ which I thought she would never do. She loves to play ball with Brock and will chase after him like they are playing a game of tag. She is really a very easygoing and laid back little girl but each day she is getting more and more active. She has been walking a lot more while holding on to anything in reach and her teachers at school said she is showing signs that she may walk sooner then we anticipate as she is doing the same there. Who knows though, I am perfectly happy with her crawling right now.
Brock is being Brock. He is doing great in school and is still the little helper. Soccer season is nearing its end so we are thinking about whether or not we will put him in a sport for the winter season. He is getting more and more adventurous so I am waiting for the day we have a broken bone with him. He has learned how to climb on top of our counters in the kitchen with out using a stool or chair and he also likes to join Aly in her crib now and they just lay there on there backs and laugh at nothing, its cute but him getting in and out of there is so dangerous. I know he is just being a boy but he terrifies me sometimes with the things he does. He was also being more daring the other day and jumped from the 5th or 6th stair to the bottom and all you hear was a huge thud. He thought it was funny but did admit it hurt his foot a little bit. Zarek and him have been hanging out so much lately and its so funny to watch Brock just follow him like a little puppy. He really looks up to him and is always talking about how much he loves his Zarek. They even call each other on the phone and will talk forever it seems like. Brock will just walk around the house talking about this and that, James mentioned the other day that it reminds him of teenagers. LOL He's really matured since hanging out with his older cousin.
James and I are doing OK. We are just taking everything one day at a time. We've been busy with cleaning the house, getting it presentable for so much company and I am really looking forward to next Friday so we can start to decorate. Brock and I went out and bought some Christmas decorations and he asks everyday if we can put them up. He's really excited to put up all the window stickers, since he got to pick out almost all of them. I just can't wait till we can buy a real Christmas tree this year but I don't think we are doing that until the end of the first week of December.
Well, hope all is well with everyone!!! I have a few new pictures of the kids so I will post the link at the bottom.
Love always,
The Morris Family
