Catching Up

Life has, as always, been a little hectic these days.  We've been going nonstop and loving (almost) every minute of it!  I wanted to get a few pictures documented so I can somewhat be able to remember what life was like during this time.


Here's Lainey before church a few Sundays ago.  Jovan really wanted a picture in this outfit because he thought she looked so cute.  I asked her to pose, and this is what I got, ha! 


Lainey started soccer a few weeks ago.  She's taking it through a group here called "Tiny Toros".  There is a club league here, Toros, and the older girls are the "coaches" on Saturdays.  We had Lainey playing through the YMCA last year, and it was basically a complete joke.  In this program, it's a little more pricey, but I feel she is actually learning fundamentals, so it's worth the money.  They all have this lovely neon yellow shirt.  This picture is from her first game, and I'll have to add some new ones after this weekend.  We've had some changes to her wardrobe such as soccer cleats and some fabulous neon yellow soccer socks.  Not really sure why neon is so popular these days, but what can ya do?!

Here are the girls in their matchy-matchy zebra dresses.  Bless their hearts!  They were both sick in this picture!  We have been battling some illness here in the Tosic house this past week, and we're hoping there is an end in sight.  Lainey had strep throat last week, Lilly had a fever paired with an awful ear infection, and I had the stomach flu this week.  Lainey was great once the antibiotics kicked in, but her little sister has had a ROUGH time lately!  She weighed almost 14 lbs. at her 4 month check-up, and she has since lost a pound this month because she has had so many eating issues. :(  Her poor ears just haven't allowed her to do much.  We got to the point where she had to have three days of shots...hoping these ear infections don't become a regular occurance!

This picture was taken of the girls yesterday.  Getting a good one of both of them is nearly impossible, so this was the best we could get.  I still think they're pretty cute! :)  We're looking forward to a weekend home to recover and relax!

Soccer Mom

So it's official...I am now a soccer mom.  Well, a soccer mom minus the minivan!  We wanted to get Lainey involved in some extracurricular activities, so our options for this age are soccer and cheerleading.  We asked Lainey what she wanted to do, and she said cheerleading...obviously we decided to do soccer first!  We'll save the other for it's proper season-fall!  Anyways...

Lainey is on a team with six other 3 year olds.  They are the Mighty Kicker Jaguars, and are one of the most entertaining sights I have had in awhile!  I don't think there was a single kid today who did not shed some tears or throw some sort of fit...Lainey included!  She was coaxed into playing with the promise of a treat after it was over.  Thank you Coach Scott for the promise of twinkies and juice!  We'll see how next week goes.  I'm trying to figure out how you teach your 3 year old (who in every other situation is taught to share) that it is okay, and actually encouraged, to take the ball away from the other kids!  Any tips would be greatly appreciate! :) 




She's not exactly the best player yet, but she clearly looked the best!


Pointing to our goal


LOVE this one!!
