Van had another soccer game today. They won 6-0. Most in part by Van. He scored 5 goals! He scored 3 goals so they decided to put him in a sgoalie to let the other team have a chance. When he was playing goalie, he stopped everything they kicked toward him. After a while they took him out of goalie and he scored two more goals. So they took him off the field and told him it was his turn to sit out. Good job, Van!
Max had his first time out today. I’ll let Miguel or Jessica explain the reason why. Since it was his first time out, they wanted to take a picture. So now he is getting punished and everyone is taking pictures of him and all he can do is cry and say “No picture”
So here is the picture from his first timeout:
When Jessica, Atley, and I were younger, one of the things we always mention when we talk is playing with our fathers’ brace. It was just so much fun to play with and we don’t know why.
My parents took Van and Max while Miguel and Jessica celebrated their anniversary. While they were there, Max decided to try on Grandpa’s brace. Here is a picture of him with the brace on.
He was still playing with it hours later before he went to bed.
The website is back up. For more hard drive space, more bandwidth, faster servers, and the ability to have subdomains, all for a little less than half the price I was paying before, FreerksenFamily.com is now hosted at Hostek.
It took longer than expected to move from one host to another but it finally got finished. I have also added all of the previous posts to the site.
If you experience any problems with the site, please let me know and I will get it fixed ASAP.

Just a heads up, the site may be up and down over the long weekend. I will be moving to another host. One that is not only faster, but also cheaper and allows me to have subdomains.
So if you’ve had problems with the site before, hold tight. The site will only get cooler.
This has been an eventful Easter. We have colored Easter eggs and we have taken pictures of the three grandkids in the bluebonnet fields. We went to church services this morning andÊare currently at Jessica and Miguels house and the kids are going to hunt the eggs and then we are going to share a meal together.
Welcome to FreerksenFamily.com! We just got the site up and running so give us a little bit of time to get settled in and we will get some stuff up here for you.
Today is Miguel and Jessica’s 7th wedding anniversary. A very big happy anniversary to both of them.
When asked, Miguel jokingly said, “It’s been a long seven years.” To which Jessica replied, “I only have to deal with him for three more years and I can get alimony.”
They did like the fact that they had finally met the dating/married ratio. They dated for seven years before they were married. So after two kids and buying a house together, they finally broke even on the amount of time they dated.
Congratulations Miguel and Jessica.
A few pictures have been added in the ‘Photos’ section. They were taken a few days ago when the boys were playing in the water. Below are a couple pictures. To see all of the pictures go here.
