It's Been A While

Caden decided to play football this past season. I was a little sad that he wanted to play football more than soccer. Since soccer and football seasons overlap, he had to pick one. It was a ruff start, since practice began mid summer and the coach would only cancel practice if it got to be over 105 degrees, so it was pretty miserable for Caden, in the pads and all. Not to mention they practiced 3 days a week and sometimes 4 times! He wanted to quit a few times but he stuck it out! Once the games started he was sold on football! He loved it! They only had to stop the game twice from him getting injured! One injury that required a trip to see the doctor the next day, but besides that he only had bruises and no broken bones! They lost their first game and we thought it was going to be a quick season, but I guess they got the hang of playing as a team and ended up coming in second place overall! I guess it's football again this next season!

The end of the season party was at a fire station that one of the dad's worked at. They had a ton of fun, and they even gave the kids rides in the fire engines!

Christmas seemed to come and go so quickly! We had a great time, as usual! We did all the traditional Holiday activities, and this time it was Nixon's turn to put the star on top of the tree! The kids are almost to heavy for Brad to lift over his head, so we'll have to work something out different pretty soon!

New PJ's, opened one gift and ready for Santa to come!

Nixon's birthday is so close to Christmas, I just set aside some of his gifts to give them to him on his birthday! He was excited to get a Dsi just like his cousin Blake!

He wanted to have a sports party since he has been obsessed with football after being at all of Caden's football practices! He starts flag football at the end of February! I am not to sure if I like my boys wanting to be into football, it's so dangerous! Oh well, boys will be boys! At least Carsyn won't get many injuries from playing the piano!
