Mia Hamm, look out!

Today was a really exciting day. Tayler started soccer! She's playing with a team from the YMCA this year. It was so fun to see all of the kids kicking the ball around, and interacting with eachother. Her first game is next week, and I must say, it's going to be an interesting thing to watch! Her coaches are a married couple who's daughter plays on the team, and a friend of theirs who all seem really nice, and are really good with the kids. We really excited for this season!!

Once again, it's been too long!

I can't believe how long it's been since I've blogged! This is terrible!! Things have been CRAZY here in the Schienbein house! First and foremost, we're expecting a baby boy in August!!!! So, the last few months have been filled with food cravings, back aches, and doctor appointments...but it's been very exciting. Tayler can't wait to be a big sister!!! We're all just counting the days until our newest family member is here with us!
This is one of the 3-D ultra sound photos we got when I was 19 weeks along. We're so excited to meet the little guy!!!

In April, Brian and I celebrated our three year anniversary! I can't believe how fast time has flown by! I was surprised by my wonderful husband at work with a beautiful display of flowers. I am such a lucky girl!


What else is new? Miss Tayler graduated from preschool!!! She had a wonderful year, met lots of friends, and learned SO MUCH! I'm so thankful we decided to send her to Gateway. She was so proud on graduation day, and we were so proud of her! Now....kindergarten, here we come!

Tayler's been doing really well in gymnastics, and is getting ready to start soccer next week. She'll also be starting swimming lessons next month! We've got a busy summer planned! But, since we're not going to be taking any camping trips, or really any trips for that matter (becuase of my large/uncomfortable size, and GAS prices!) we thought we'd make sure she had plenty of activities to fill her summer!

One thing we did do last week was visit the Portland Zoo. I hadn't been there since I was really young, and I really wanted to take Tayler. So we made a little family trip of it. Although it rained quite a bit while we were there, it ended up being a pretty enjoyable time.


Hopefully, I'll be able to blog more regularly here in the finaly months of my pregnancy...and if I can get my husband to snap a photo of my tummy that isn't aweful, I'll post that too!
