Lincoln's Birthday and 1st Soccer Game

 I wasn't sure how Lincon would do his first game since he hadn't even turned 4 yet (it is a 4yo team).  He had alot of fun though, and clapped whenever anyone scored a goal, even the other team.  To my surprise he even scored a goal, although when he did it he clapped with the same laid back Lincoln enthusiasm that he used for anyone else that scored a goal.  I was sort of wondering if he even knew he had scored when I saw him do it, but he told me later he had kicked it in the goal so guess he did! I asked him if he liked trying to score goals or be the goalie better and he said goalie.  Pretty sure this is because he gets a break from running!
Also after one of his practices, I asked if he liked games or practices better, and he said "games because I get snacks after."  Guess I should have figured, but apparently one of his teamates pointed at the other team on the first game and said, "this would be alot funner if they weren't here."   She obviously likes practices better!

Loves having Daddy for a coach!

Yep, he is a clapper.  This time after blowing his candles out.  

Family soccer game!

Matt explaining "Pin the Tail on the Horse."  The scarf was to cover their eyes if you are wondering...

Caleb spent the night after the party.  They had a short night but alot of fun!   After about an hour after putting them to bed I told them they had to go to sleep. They then kept coming and tattling, saying the other person was doing things that kept them from falling asleep!

Quotes

Lincoln:  I was working on Lincoln's horse birthday cake and he stood up on the stool to see better and said, "let me see if it looks good."  After looking at it for a few seconds he said, hmm...not too good."
No worries, he liked it after I added an eye and fruit roll up reign.  Phew!

Lyla:  Matt and Lincoln were going outside to play soccer one night. Someone evidently mentioned me coming and playing, to which Lyla replied,  "Mommy can't play soccer.  She's not old enough."

This may only be funny to Matt and I because of the tone we heard her use, but we let her and Lincoln have pop on his birthday.  She was pretty excited about it after drinking it, and ran over to us and said, "you guys gave me pop!"  She said it like we had done something we weren't supposed to do.

Me:  "Quit sitting there and playing with your thing!"  Ok this needs some background I know. LOL
While I was putting the kids to bed, after telling Lincoln SEVERAL times to get his pj's on, he came and sat down on Lyla's bed without any clothes on and well, you know the rest.
