Lost his 1st tooth!!

It only took 7 years 4 months and 1 day for him to finally lose his 1st tooth. We can say he actually lost it before he started 2nd grade; just barely though..It was just hanging on and I tried to get him to pull it before football practice but he wouldn't do it. He was standing in line for hitting drills and that helped it out. I saw him run over to Kerry to hand him something and I knew it had fall out. He was sooooo excited. Precious boy!

Swimmer's Ear

I guess all that swimming at the lake this weekend turned into a nasty swimmer's ear infection for this guy...Neither kid has ever had swimmer's ear so it was a first for him....He did go participate in football without wearing his helmet since it hurts to touch his ear....And then I let him just hang out at soccer and play goalie some since it hurt to run...He's smiling because we were just looking at his two bottom teeth and they are both pretty loose...I think he might lose one very soon!!

Lake Fun

We headed to the lake this weekend. We have been letting Kohen practice some with the football team and he wants to give it a shot. I don't think he will enjoy it once he remembers what it is all about but we said fine, give it a try. So Kerry brought his pads down to the lake to practice some:)

 We had a great time riding over to Sandy Beach and hanging out there all day.

 The kids enjoyed covering Daddy completely up and I know he didn't mind!

1st Baseball and soccer practices

Yesterday was Kohen's first baseball practice for the fall season. He is playing for a new team--Giants. His Ranger team had never played Fall ball so we decided to get on a new team knowing he really wanted to keep playing baseball. This helped with the decision of not playing football. He really, really loves football but I know he hates getting tackled. So we offered him baseball instead! We are very excited and hope he has a great season.

 Tonight we began soccer practices as well. Kresee's 1st ever soccer practice (still has a lovely black eye) and she was sooooo excited and of course so cute. I'm excited to get going with the boys as well since we have 6 brand new players; 5 have never ever played soccer before. So it will be a rebuilding season for us!

Black Eye

On Monday night, Kerry was mowing the yard. The kids love to ride on the mower with him. They were all done and riding around in the cul-de-sac getting the grass off of it when Kresee decided to stand up and take a nose dive straight into the street. Poor thing scraped her head all up as you can see. Scared her to death that she even peed all over herself:(

 The next morning her forehead was still pretty scrapped but her eye was a little bit swollen and puffy. I guess it traveled down...

 Then day 3 and 4 were awful with a full blown black eye. I felt terrible for her. She keeps looking in the mirror and saying "yep, its still there".

Kohen has never had a black eye so this is a first for us!

Basketball games

Kohen had a great time playing summer league basketball. His YMCA coach also coached this team and he does such an amazing job with these kids. Kohen learned so stinking much and will be better prepared for the basketball season come winter when you they actually call double dribbling. They shot on 10' goals all summer so it sure helped get his strength up and will help when they drop back down to 9' goals. This team is going to stick together and do some tournaments in the winter too and keep playing summers together. It was a great group of boys. We assumed they being so young they would be 0-6 but we actually went 2-4 winning a couple of games!!

Bday Party

Today the kids and I headed out of town with Grammie for a fun birthday party. My sweet friend just had a new baby girl and it was his son's bday party. We had been wanting to go and meet the baby so it was a perfect time to see all of his family. The kids had a blast and it was a wonderful day!

It was a pirate party and they loved it:)

 Birthday boy!

 Sweet baby girl Elizabeth

Jared and I have been friends for soooo long; since we were 5 years old. So I love getting to see him when we can and it's fun to hang out with each other's kids:). Kresee spent the entire day playing with Jared's dad; one of my favorite things to do as a little girl. Jimmy was such a fun dad and is obviously makes a wonderful grandpa too!
