Soccer Game #2

Soccer Game #2:

Saxon played the whole game and loved it!

He played goalie for a while and stopped a bunch of balls.

He would hold his hands up and cheer for himself and all the parents laughed :)

Nate coached this game and Bridger hung onto his legs saying "carry me!" for most of the game.  Either that or he would sit by me and say "I need a rest."

This is how Bridger feels about soccer:

At one point, Bridger ran down the field, and then off the field, and hid in the trees.

He was done :)

Our boys are so cute out there!

We are so proud of them!

The Goof Troop

Gregor started calling Dalton "Goof Troop" because of his teeth.

Now my boys call him that too every time he smiles :)

Our little Goof Troop in a fantastic kisser!

Saxon begged for a turn with the camera:

Then, Saxon wanted me to take pictures of him.

At first he was pretending to be Bridger

(looking in every direction except at the camera)

Then I got a big Saxon smile!

Since Bubs wasn't cooperating, Saxon held his head in place.

Then I tried to get one of me and Bubs.

Bridger wouldn't look at the camera, but Saxon snuck in there on the side :)

Saxon was feeling very photogenic, so I let him talk me into a bunch of pictures:

This is how Bridger feels about pictures:

They are SO  FUNNY!

I love these guys!!!!

Look Who's Walking...

Dalton took his first few steps when Kasen was here a few weeks ago, and now he's walking all the time.  He's still a little tipsy, but he walks.

10 months old!

My earliest walker...

Enjoying a Diet Coke

We went to 7 Peaks with Brittany and Dalton decided to help himself to her Diet Coke :)

Soccer Game #1

On Saturday, we had our first soccer game.

Saxon was amazing!

What a difference a year makes!

He went for the ball, he handled it, he turned it around, he followed instructions...I was so proud!

Bridger was so excited to go and so excited to wear his jersey.

But he got a little nervous once we got there.

Here is he pouting:

More sad faces:

Saxon begged to play goalie, so his coach let him.

He saved a few balls, but discovered that it was a lot of sitting around.

Not as fun as he had imagined.

Here's Bridger:

My little guy is by far the youngest on the team

(you're supposed to be 4-5...he is 2-3).

But, he's not the smallest :)

Bridger again:

He had fun for the 5 minutes that he was willing to play :)

The first game was so fun, we can't wait for the rest!

Rock Climbing

When Kasen was in town we decided to take everyone rock climbing.

The boys did great!

They climbed right up the rock with no problems.

Coming down was a little harder and they got a little scared.

Oh well, we'll have to keep practicing :)

Like father like son...

Bridger's 3rd birthday party

For Bridger's 3rd birthday party he wanted a "Bumblebee" party.

We planned it a week early because Nate's family was going to be in town and we thought it would be fun for the kids to have lots of cousins at the party.

I made Bridger a dark chocolate cake with yellow buttercream frosting.

Nate and I cut out the autobots logo with chocolate fondant.

Bridger was so excited to blow out his candles, that he did it halfway through the "Happy Birthday" song :)

We played the transformers version of "pin the tail on the donkey".

Bridger wanted to go again and again and again.

It was so funny!

Bridger got some awesome presents from his cousins and friends.

Aunt Brooks' and the boys gave him a pillow pet, and Wrigley and Morley gave him fireworks! I guess that's a benefit of having your birthday near pioneer day...legal fireworks :)

Bridger had so much fun!

Thanks to everyone who came and made his big day special!
