A Lesson on Sharing

I signed Zack up for soccer this fall. I thought he would love to make new friends and chase after a ball. But I don't think we have ever sat Zack down to tell him how to play a real game of soccer.

So during the first game, Zack wouldn't leave Todd's side. He kept saying he didn't want to even play, because those other kids wouldn't share the ball with him. I told him over and over the point of the game was to take the ball and not to share it, but he just didn't get it. Hopefully by the end of the season he will understand the point, but maybe not. I think he's more of a football player anyway. :)

Boomer Sooner!!

Last weekend Todd and I went to my FIRST OU game. Seriously, I've lived in OK practically my entire life and am only now experiencing Sooner pride.

What's wrong with me?

While we were gone, my Aunt Melinda and Uncle Mark watched Zack and Brody. Apparently, Zack and Aunt Melinda had this conversation:

Zack- "Hello, Mr. Penis!"

Melinda- "I'm not laughing at that, Zack."

Zack- "I know, because it's naughty..."

Oh, how I love how my children represent our little family when I'm not around!

My dad also had his something-year high school reunion this past weekend. I'm not sure how many years it's been since he graduated, I only remember trying not to gasp when he told me. I guess you can take what you will from that. :)

Anyway, his twin brother came to town and convinced Zack he was the real grandpa. Never gets old with those twinners! I can finally tell them apart, but when I was little I just called them both Dad.

All-in-all, it was one fabulous weekend.

Here are all my dad's brothers:
Here are all my dad's brother's women:

Aunt Melinda chased Zack all around the yard. I think he is in love with her. :)

One of these handsome fellows is my dad. Can you guess which? Probably not. He's the one on the right.
