The Box

Who knew a box could be so much fun?  We purchased a storage bench for the foot of our bed, and it came in a huge box. The boys have been having fun with it ever since.

Drawing all over the box!

Oops! Ian got carried away with the markers!

Even the pups are getting in the on the action.

First Day 2014

 Oh my goodness. These boys are so handsome and growing up so fast. I can't believe Jacob is in middle school. And what about William? Fourth grade? Wow. Good luck this year boys. It's a clean slate and the possibilities are endless. I love you so much.

Pride of the Rockies

Excellent effort from the Pride U11 Red team at the Pride of the Rockies tournament this weekend.  They won the first game but lost the next two. Jacob was awesome in defense. He's slowly gaining more confidence. Sorry they lost but they played hard. I'm proud of my Jacob boy!

Storm Classic

Wow! What an awesome feeling...winning! After being on several teams that just can't seem to get it together, this is a welcomed and very weird change. Jacob's team is so good. Now, there are lots of things they need to work on, but I am impressed. They won their first two games, and because of that are now in the finals! The final game is today at 2:15 pm. in Denver. I'm excited and very nervous.

Jacob is playing on the back defensive line and seems to be the leader keeping them together and organized. Hearing him "coach" the other players is really neat to listen to.

Here's his team before the first game. Go Red! You got this!!

And this is totally washed out I know. I didn't have time to adjust the manual settings. I almost didn't get the photo.

Well, we didn't win the last game, but that's OK! We took second, and that's pretty dang good if you ask me. Way to go boys. Proud of you!!

Riding His New Bike

Jacob and William used this tricycle when they were little and decided to pass it on to Ian. He loves it. He rode it quite a bit when he first got it and yesterday evening. He still isn't using the pedals, but he will soon I'm sure.

Here is a YouTube video of him riding it last night.
