Christian's 1st School Chorus Concert

 

Christian had his first school music concert and Grandma and see  Pappy came to see go him too!  I love how he is standing so proudly ready to in and take on the world.  That's our boy!

 Christian beside his class mate and soccer team mate. . .Mason.  They had fun together.  Then below is a picture of Christian standing getting ready for the concert to begin.  They were supposed to come out and put there heads down and wait till the music started. Christian later told me, "I wanted the music to start and I wanted to sing."  He obeyed so very well and I was impressed when looking at the group around him.  most of the third graders were peaking up trying to find their families but he just kept his little head down. :)  Yayy Christian.  We also had to laugh at how he got put beside the tallest third grader and he was the shortest kindergartner. :)  Made him look even smaller.  Poor guy.  The next picture is a picture of them singing about the mountain.  They also sang a song about a flower, and then they got to use different color streamers as a rainbow!  This was his most favorite part! 

 We wanted to capture a few family pictures with him and some with him and his class but Ava thought she could run and do whatever she wanted.  We spend the rest of the evening looking for her and missed saying goodbye to most of his friends.  :(  Mommy and Daddy were not too happy with sissy to say the least.  However we did manage to get a picture of Christian with his music teacher Mrs. Bowers-Davis.  He loves music and did a great job throughout the concert.  He walked around the house singing the songs for weeks before his concert.  Christian will not surprise me if he is very involved musically someday like his cousin Isaac.  Christian has always loved music! 

 

 

 

Ava Spring Soccer - 2013

So this year Ava decided to play soccer again, for her third season.  The first season daddy was Ava's teams coach.  The second season Ava had Coach Brechbill and Christian also played on her team. This marks her third season and it is amazing the improvement she has made.  Her coach's name is Mike Thompson and he was a great coach too.  She loved her team and there were some really awesome friends and players on the team.  Their were two guys on the team that had older brothers that played soccer and they had obviously been blessed themselves with the ability to play soccer.  They were awesome.  Zimoney and Felix were the two soccer STARS on the team.  Every time they got the ball they scored!  It was so much fun to watch and cheer for them.  Ava really improved this year too.  She actually was able to control the ball when she had it, and to stay with it, turn it and even pass it to her team mates. We happened to have all morning games and the mornings were still often pretty cold and windy. :)  So below is a picture of the kiddos wrapped up before the game and then of some of them playing on the sidelines while the BOYS were out making the scores. ;)

She played so hard this year and she was very interested in the competitive side this year more than any other seasons. :)  She even took a few tumbles and jumped right back up without even a flinch.  Proud of our GIRL.  :)  We really loved our team too. . . .the coaches, the parents and the other kids were all great.  Made this soccer season fun, just like our others. :)  Fun to meet new people  Mason, Hosea and McKenzie were in Christian's class at school so that made things really fun too. :)  hahhah.  Christian would hang out with whomever was not currently out in the game.

One day after a soccer game, while talking to her Nana on the phone, this is what I heard. . . ."well, I have something exciting. . . You know how I never get a goal?  I ALMOST got a goal! I kicked the ball and I was only a inch away. . .A INCH!  But the stupid ball went out of balance."  She was excited it was close.  Little did she know that later on in the season she would in fact get her FIRST SOCCER GOAL EVER!!!!  Mason also go his first soccer goal ever in the same game. :)  It was awesome to watch them get the goals and how they reacted when they finally got them.  Ava was so excited, she threw her hands up in the air and lowered her head like, "finally, I did it!  I accomplished my goal!"  Her grandparents, myself and her daddy were all hoping and praying she would get one and then she did. :)  The video I have of it was priceless.  When she got the goal, she lowered her head and raised her arms in the air like a humble relief.  hahaha.  So funny.  A huge weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

Would You Mind?

Micah was trying to ask Christian a question and we already knew the answer.  He asked him is he would mind if daddy slept in his bed with him tonight.  Christian shook his head yes, that he would mind because he gets scared in the room by himself at night. . . .so we explained to him that he was answering the question the opposite way of what he was trying to say. We told him he should say, "no daddy, I wouldn't mind at all." then we realized it was a confusing wording of the question so Micah said, "hey Christian, would it be OK if daddy slept in your bed with you tonight?"  Christian sat there in silence and then said in a whispered voice, " what am I supposed to say again?"  hahahah
