Sweet Spring :)

We're so happy soccer season has started again and today was the first game of the season for the Green Turtles. They had kind of a slow start as they all got used to playing on a team again. In the end Carter scored 2 goals and defended 2 as goalie. They won 5-4 and did a great job cheering each other on and celebrating their progress. It's going to be a great season!
Then it was time for some yard work. Carter and Daddy swung by Home Depot for some mulch. Okay, a whole truck full. We got it spread amazingly fast and the yard looks clean and fresh again. I love new mulch, it's like a fresh coat of paint. I can't wait for the flowers to bloom.
Carter was a huge help in his pickup truck. He loves being our delivery man and at times it's really handy. Hauling 40 lb bags of sand is no easy task. He carried 120lbs in one trip! Nice!
All this work makes a girl tired and dirty. Julia's new favorite past time is lounging with the bathtub all to herself. I love listening to her sing and make up stories while she's in there, so sweet.
Sunday, after church we all went out for pizza- then Daddy and Carter had some guy time and went to see the Harlem Globetrotters. Carter was amazed! He loves to watch the high school and college slam dunk and 3 point contests we have recorded. Then he tries the tricks on his little hoop in the backyard. It's so funny to see just how closely he pays attention to every little move they make. Now he has a head full of new ideas.
This is the first time he's seen someone slam dunk in person.
He brought home a new basketball with him and it has not left his side. He eats with it, plays with it, does his schoolwork with it, and even sleeps with it.
(I love spring when we can have school outside!!)

This little boy has some big hoop dreams.
