Spring soccer..........

........................... is over!

Case wanted his uniform on for the soccer game too, and who are we to tell him wrong game, wrong season.

MAMMA MIA!

Disco is making a comeback in our house in the form of Mamma Mia! The kids watched it with me Saturday while Lynn was gone and he was so proud to come home and see all of his boys watching it. Case watched it once today then after school before soccer they all wanted to watch it again. Who knew ABBA could sound so good. I probably better give it back to Anika because I'm afraid if Lynn comes home and sees them watching it one more time it might end up in the trash.

three

Our third child is three. Our baby, although whenever I call him my baby he's quick to tell me "he's not a baby, he's a Caser!" Poor kid we all call him Caser so much he thinks that's his name. He's the opposite of Lynn and I, and Gage and Jett for that matter, in that he is so outgoing, not shy at all, he loves being the center of attention. He has so much expression in everything he says and does. He is so funny, independent, determined and quite awnry. He is absolutely in love with his brothers and thinks he's as big as them. He gets sick of me kissing on him all the time and constantly "wipes" them off when I do. Most days he is so cute and sweet I just want to eat him. Happy Birthday CASE!

Gage's Baptism

I'm a little late on the post, but Gage's baptism was last month. He was so excited! I wish I would have taken a picture of everyone there, we so much support, thank you. We are so proud of the decision that Gage made to be baptised and for the wonderful example he is to his brothers.

Gage's Birthday Party

This year for Gage's Birthday he got to have a "friend" party instead of a (much easier, less expensive and lower stress) family party so he was pretty excited. He has a great group of friends and it was fun. Gage wanted an Indiana Jones themed party, which worked out well since that seems to be theme in our home lately. This is his cake, Indy running from the boulder.We played a few games and were reminded how competitive 2nd graders are.Then opened presents and had cake, then went outside to run.

Poor Case could not figure out why he didn't get any presents, and why nobody was singing happy birthday to him. He struggles a little not being the center of attention and in the middle of everything and it drives us all a little crazy at times, and Lynn says he needs to apologize to Larry because he's sure he was probably exactly the same way, but even with Case squeezing his way in and trying to steal the attention the party turned out good and Gage had a great time.

February 8 - Gage is 8

Today is Gage's 8th birthday, I can't believe how fast it's gone. 8 years ago today Gage made me a Mom. He was an easy happy baby and is still an easy happy kid. He's a great big brother, he's a great helper, he's kind and smart. He loves to read and reads a lot. He's thoughtful, always thinking of his brothers and they love him. He loves being outside, playing soccer and riding his bicycle and dirt bike. Our family is definitely better because he's in it and it has been a wonderful 8 years! This is a big year for Gage, he gets to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and gets to start cub scouts. We Love You Gage, Happy Birthday!
