Beau's fourth birthday, first GP soccer game, mom's absence.

This week was pretty bland, but there were a few points that were definitely worth mentioning! First off was that our dog Beau had his fourth birthday this past Monday! He got a couple of cool birthday presents, which contained a dog bone and a red rubber ring, and he also got some really good food from the dinner that we had that night. Afterwards, he laid down with all the toys he had and started playing with all of them. There were so many of them that he did not know which one to start biting next!

 The next event the week contained was that my school soccer team had its first game this week. We played against Anthem Prep, and they were the home team so we got to get out of school forty five minutes early. That was the good part, but once the actual game got started, it was not very fun. We lost 6-1, but I think that the game was a lot closer than the score indicated. Our goalie is not very good, and he does not even know the rules. For instance: If your own team member plays it back to you with their feet, you are not allowed to pick it up. However, they can pick it up if the teammate heads it back to you, which he did not know. He tried to hit it off of his knee and he barely got it out of the goal. If we had a better goalie, I think it would have been a closer game, and NO I am not just blaming the goalie. Our team still has a lot to work on.

 The next day, mom actually left in the morning after Collin and I went to school to head to California for her friend's birthday. This is the second year in a row, so I tink it is going to become a tradition. It was actually the same friend that she saw during our last Spring break (on day five) and she is going to come back this next Monday. In the meantime, it was just my dad, Collin, and I. I think it went surprisingly smooth, but I did not really know what to expect.

 After Collin's soccer on Sunday, he went to run some errands with Isabelle while my dad and I started to get down the Christmas boxes from the attic. This is also the first year that we are using the big artificial tree that we got right after Christmas last year. This is a lot harder to set up and it also takes up a lot of space. One more thing. After taking off the covering of it, we noticed something that is kind of bad, which is that we are missing the top pointy part of the tree. It still had about two feet higher to go, but we had no idea where that piece was, so we are going to have to look for that later!

 Our grandparents went to dinner with us that night, which wrapped up our weekend by the time that we got home. The week really got a lot busier as it went on, and we are going to have even more things next week! Thanks for reading and tune in next week on TBB!
