Go Gators!

So, I thought I would take a break from December photos to post some from last night.  We went to Chris’ parents’ house for a Gator party.  Andy is a HUGE Gator fan and loves to have parties for the big games!  It is great! 

Anyway, we went for the game and stayed until the end of the 3rd qtr.  By that point, our kids were exhausted, so we came home and watched the rest while they were in bed. 

It was a fun game and we were so excited that the Gators won another championship!

Ella – practicing her Gator cheer!

Dodo (Andy) LOVES the gators & his girl!

The Last Couple of Weeks

I have had a hard time keeping up with the blog over the last couple of weeks.  But everyone seems to be better and we are getting back to a “more normal” life (for now!)  Here are some photos…

 

Alec was helping Daddy mow! 

  And here he is being silly.  He has Ella’s “bumbo” seat on his head!

  

The last day of soccer…

The boys and their medals!

Happy Birthday, Dodo!

Ella’s Pink Converse! 

We took the boys to Pioneer Days in Pine Castle.  It was a lot of fun, since we are studying the Early American Settlers/Pioneers in school right now.  They had some demonstrations on Pioneer life.  It was a fun family day!  Andy and Emily joined us and we met up with the Davis’ later in the day.

-soccer season begins-

Yesterday was the first day of the soccer season for the boys.  They have been SO excited about this!  It is amazing to see how much more they are “into” the game now that they are getting older.

Caleb stayed well hydrated, so no headaches!  Yay!  That was amazing, since it was so hot.  They had a great first day…and…both of their teams WON! 

Alec was pretty funny when he found out he was on the purple team…he said, “But Mama, purple is a GIRL’S COLOR!!!!”  I wouldn’t have chosen purple as a team color for him either, but he had an opportunity to work through his bad attitude.  And let me tell you, he DID NOT look like a girl out there!  ha!

Here are some photos from soccer:

Afterwards, we changed and went out to Liki Tiki for the afternoon.  The water felt great after having been in the heat all morning.  Ella loves getting in the water!  So much fun!

.basketball camp.

Caleb had his first basketball camp this last week.  He had a lot of fun and came home SO tired!  Unfortunately, he did deal with a lot of headaches – probably from getting dehydrated.  But in spite of that, he had a blast.

On Friday, the parents were invited to watch the final games and to be there for the award ceremony.  Caleb received the one of the several Encouragement Awards that were handed out! 

Here are a few pics from the “Big Game!”
