Happy Birthday Carson!

For the first time ever, we didn't have a big birthday party.  Instead Jason and I took Carson and his friend, Sam, to a Spurs game.  Luckily we got tickets through Pape-Dawson and they were on row 8!  We all had a really great time!  Then, we had a family dinner at our home to celebrate Carson's big day.  Carson is such a sweet boy.  He is so smart and handsome.  He is sensitive and has a huge heart.  We all love him so much and I love watching him grow into a young man!

 

 

T-Ball!

It is finally Cade's turn!  Poor baby has been watching Carson and Kenndi play sports for 4 years.  It's finally time for Cade to show us what he can do!  I think all 3 of them made their debut to sports on the t-ball field.  Cade was beyond excited to be on the Athletics this year and play with his best friend, Cade Metzger.  This group of 4 and 5 year old were pretty impressive too!  They all hit really well, learned to throw the ball to first base, and even made a double play near the end of the season!  We were so proud of Cade and can't wait to watch him in seasons to come!

 

Happy Birthday Kennedi!

Our little girl turned 6!  It can't be!  Kennedi is such a strong little girl.  She is so smart and so confident.  Not only is she wise beyond her years, but she is very passionate about what she wants and how she is going to get it!  I love her spirit, even though it keeps me on my toes every day.  Kennedi is going to go really far in life.  I have no doubt whatsoever that she will be very successful in life.  I am so proud to be her mom.  We love you so much Kennedi!!

For her 6th birthday, we invited some friends and had a fun party at Amazing Jump.  The kids bounced for hours, enjoyed pizza, and laughed like only kids can!

Wax Museum

Carson's 3rd grade class put on a wax museum at school.  Each student had to pick an influential person, write a report about that person, dress the part, and memorize a short speech.  Carson picked Tim Tebow.  I was really proud of him for picking not only a great football player, but also a strong Christian evangelist.  Carson learned about a lot of Tim's accomplishments including mission trips and awards in football.  I am so happy that Carson chose such a great role model.

TOT Basketball

When Kennedi was 4 she participated in TOT Basketball at Rainbow Station.  Now it is Cade's turn!  TOT stands for Teams of Tomorrow.  The kids get to step out of the classroom for 30 minutes each week.  They learn some basic ball handling skills like dribbling and developing their eye hand coordination.  They also incorporate educational aspects such as right vs left, counting in English and Spanish, etc.  Cade loves TOT!  He loves to wear his orange shirt on Thursdays and he always comes home talking about what he got to do at TOT.  In addition to the weekly practices, the kids also get to perform at halftime of a high school game.  It is so precious to watch these little ones shine!

Upward Basketball!

It's that time of year again!  This year Kennedi played Upward Basketball and I had the pleasure of coaching her team!  It was so much fun!  The 5 five-year-olds learned to dribble, pass, shoot, and a lot about teamwork!  It was a great season and I hope the kids had as much fun as I did!
