Football verse Trampoline

Kaige decided to try out tackle football this year. I was excited because I love to watch my boys play football but a little nervous because it is such a rough sport.

Kaige also loves to mess around on the trampoline. 2 weeks ago he was jumping with some friends and came down wrong and did something to his back. He couldn't run, walk, or sit without hurting for a couple of days. Then Monday again he is jumping on the trampoline with some friends and either breaks or sprains his pinkie toe making it hurt to walk or run, again sitting him out of football practice.

I don't know why I was worried about football, I think I needed to be worried about the trampoline.

More Spirit Week

Ryker and his Friend Aaron before the Homecoming Game. The Elementary had picture day this week and Miss Em had me curl her hair. Doesn't she look beautiful.

Intermediate had nerd day on Thursday and here is my Nerd

It was a fun week and we ended it with what???? yes that rights Soccer. This weekend we only had 2 games to go to and the were in the later afternoon, evening. It was nice to have the morning to get things done. Chris, Ryker, and Slatin did a service project for our neighbor. I am so glad my kids have such a great example in their dad, with his willingness to serve. Someone needs to show them because their mom doesn't always.

Spirit Week

This week is Spirti week at the older schools. For the High School today is Nerd day and here is my nerd. Jaxton took the pictgure and I wish he would have gotten a close up of Ryker's hair, it

was so funny.

For Kaige at the intermediate School it was mismatched day.

They had fun getting ready this morning.

Saurday Fun

This is what we spend most saturday's doing..... Lucky for us this year Kaige and Jaxton are on the same team so we have one less game to attend on Saturday. The last 2 saturdays we have left the house at 7 and we get home around 4-5. It makes for a long day so we try to throw something fun in between the games.

Kaige is #1 and Jaxton is #7. They have to play up this year and the kids (if you can't tell by their size are 14-15 year olds and most of our team is 12 with maybe 2 - 14 year olds)

Ryker is one of the team captains this season. He as well as the rest of the boys are doing awesome. Those 4 am practices that Chris does sure is helping. I still need to take pictures of Slatin playing.


We also get to throw in an occassional Saturday football game for Kaige. Most of his games are during the week but he has an occassional game on Saturday. He is #22




This Saturday in between games we went to the Washington Park so the kids to cool off.



I just loved this picture of Ryker and Jaxton.


Jaxton hurt his leg a couple of weeks ago on some wood steps. This picture does not do it justice. It is really deep and red and sore. Well Friday he was complaining that is was hurting him and then Saturday morning he mentioned again that it was really sore but he had a soccer game and and so we didn't really look at it until later that night when he was really hurting. There was a huge bump next to it and it was hot to touch and really red. We took him over to insta Care and it had become infected we started him on some medicince yesterday but last night it was red from his ankle to almost his knee. Hopefully the medicine will kick in, if not we will be making another trip to the Dr.

Quail Lake

For Labor Day we rented a paddle board and kayak and headed out to Quail Lake.

King of the board......

Looks like Kaige won.

All this fun makes for some tired kids.

Life is insanely busy and it was nice to take a day and relax and spend time with the family. Maybe next time I will get to use the paddle board. Dang Knee.
