Benich Family: Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Today Kyle's school was celebrating Cinco de Mayo! Everyone could dress up and celebrate this fun day if they wanted, so Kyle borrowed PaPa's sombrero to wear for the festivities. :-) (Thank you, PaPa!) This also happened to be the day Kyle got braces on his two front teeth. For some reason, he had THREE sets of front teeth! With an extra set of teeth, there simply wasn't enough room for his teeth to grow in straight. So he has one very crooked front tooth, that will hopefully be straightened out in only six months. He only has brackets on his two front teeth on top, and then the two off of those on each side. (Delaney also got her braces on a holiday too -- April's Fool Day! Weird!)

Last night, Delaney was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society at her school.

I think she looks so grown up when she gets all dressed up. Kyle even asked me the other day when Delaney would be able to drive!!! When I thought about it, it was only like in three more years! (* gasp *) Sooooooo not ready for that! She also got her picture taken with a couple of her friends there who were also being inducted into Honor Society.

Of course, we've had SEVERAL soccer games since the last posting! Here are some pics from the last weekend!

Delaney actually played two games in the Indianapolis area Saturday. The first one was in Fishers, and the second one was in Westfield. They lost their first game 0-1, and then won their second game 6-1 (I think). Delaney also got an unplanned goal in that last game. She was actually crossing the ball, but the wind caught it and the ball went right in the back of the net.

She also played a game Sunday with the Crown Point team helping them out. They tied 3-3; she got 2 goals and 1 assist. Sorry we missed it, as we had to go to Kyle's game at the same time! The boys had a rough game this time around; there were NO SUBS (which meant no breaks)! It was a tiring and tough game, but they pulled out a 6-5 win!

Somehow, Easter has already come and gone too! We all had a little too much to eat, spent time with family, and had a nice soccer-free day. :-) The kids enjoyed Easter morning a lot as well. They woke up to a house filled with 122 eggs to find (courtesy of their father), and the Easter bunny left them each a nice basket of goodies too.
