Soccer Star!

Sorry it's taken us so long to catch you up with what we've been doing! Here is a small peek at some of our summer so far!

Sissy and I were in our Aunt Banana and Uncle Randy's wedding. I'm a professional ring "bear" as you know. Lauren was a beautiful (sometimes sleepy) flower girl!

But did you know that I'm also a blues singer? I got to perform onstage with a real southern blues band!

Sissy and I danced the night away with lots of friends and family and love being the life of the party! We're available for hire to add some excitement to any wedding!

So guess what, I love soccer and it turns out I'm a natural according to my British Soccer camp coaches! I've always loved playing the sport but this was the first time I had to follow rules, do drills, and play an actual game! We even played a mini World Cup! Look, they gave me my very own soccer ball and the coaches signed them the last day!!

Look at this cool soccer bag my dad bought me! It's big enough to carry all my soccer gear (and possibly my Sissy)!

My favorite coach was Stephen, he taught me the most and always liked kicking the ball to me during practice. He's the one dressed like me in the photo.

So here are a few action shots, I'll explain what's going on...

This is me trying to score a goal by kicking the ball between the flags!

Here my friend and I are guarding the other goal, can you believe it's so big it takes two of us to goalie it?

I'm showing you my best goalie save to stop the ball from entering the net! Sissy is hatching her own approach!

Speaking of Lauren, she turned 2! I found an old photo of her to compare! She's changed a lot!

She talks up a storm now! I only understand her sometimes but I have to pretend like I know what she's saying or she starts shrieking at me. We love singing and dancing to the Wiggles and Ricky Martin in the car. This is mom's way of helping us learn Spanish! Lauren loves the Wiggles so much that she has a book of songs with a microphone and sings Wiggles Karaoke everyday!

She's always had yummy cheeks and thick hair but you can see how both have gotten lighter!

I thought it'd be fun to compare photos of both of us to see how much we've changed!

See how much I adore her and she adores me?

Then you can see we've grown into a normal big brother/little sister relationship: She gave me a black eye (accidentally) and is laughing about it. I love my little sissy though! I love making her laugh and she loves to copy everything I do!

Sorry this entry got so long! We'll try not to let it go so long this time before we update it! Also, we still have to add some terrific photos from other fantastic things we've done that we're behind on so thanks for your patience! Enjoy your summer!
