World Cup

Four years ago my husband was planning on going to the World Cup here Germany... well we got married instead. The plan was for us to both go to the next one in South Africa, and then well... our little Conley was due a month before the start. So being the super-cool wife that I am, I told my husband to go without me, as long as I have help while he was gone. My parents came to help and I sent my husband off for two weeks to see seven World Cup games.

USA vs. Slovenia



Argentina vs. S. Korea



USA vs. England
He went with my cousin Ryan and their friend Duane.


Soccer city stadium
Netherlands vs. Denmark









Apparently Simon and Ryan climbed up this and jumped into the water fully dressed. That's sound like my husband.


Honduras vs. Chile
I think the zebra pattern on the seats are cool.



To me this just says "South Africa"



My handsome hubby!


They *hunted for penguins
*followed them around taking a thousand pictures of them
Portugal vs. N. Korea



USA vs. Algeria

They saw a lot of cool animals just from driving around.

Apparently this guy started charging after them while they were in the car.





So, in four years we will hopefully be going together to Brazil for the next World Cup!

Awesome! Craig is so jealous, especially because it was in his hometown! (well, home country at least!)

You ARE a super-cool wife!

Prague

So this week Simon's parents were in town visiting, and we decided to take a little weekend trip. The night before we left we decided on Prague. None of us had ever been there, we didn't have to drive over the Alps, and it was relatively close only about 3 and half hours away. Before we left we had to make sure that the rental car could drive to the Czech Republic, because apparently not all rental cars can, they have to be a certain type. I still don't know why. To make our adventure even crazier, the bag with Simon and my stuff in it somehow didn't make into the car. We did not make this discovery until we were at our hotel. Luckily, Auby's stuff made it and we had our coats and gloves. We did however, miss our thermals it was very cold. I'm sorry that there aren't more pictures of Auburn. She was bundled up in her stroller. Prague is a really neat city and has a lot to explore. Here are some of pictures..... St. Nicholas Church, where Mozart once played t...

reading

Auburn has been asking me to teach her to read.  So, I decided to try and just see what would happen.  She just barely turned four and I didn't want to push her, but she was excited so we started.  I am also not a fan of German Kindergarten (preschool here) and I know that she needed some extra stimulation.  Thank heavens for the internet and a knowledgeable sister-in-law.  We have been doing word family crafts, a sight word caterpillar and working on phonics.  There are so many wonderful resources out there to make learning to read fun.  She is really reading now and loves it.  She picks up books and reads the words she knows and asks us for the ones she doesn't know.  She is sounding words out and totally amazes me.  Right now she will read to anyone that will sit down with her.  reading to Uncle Seth and Conley  This is a common scene at our house, and makes me so happy.
