Last Day of School

Maddox finished up 2nd grade and Macen finished 6th grade.

End of Another Soccer Season

James counted the boys' games since August - 88 in total. I don't know about the boys but we are exhausted, lol.  It's sad to see some of the families move away from both teams but thankful we got to know and watch them for the year. Macen will have to move onto another club for the fall since there isn't an age group available for him in Leavenworth. For now, are taking a short (too short) breather from soccer. Great job boys!

Sporting KC game

Macen wanted to celebrate his birthday with a Sporting KC game. They had a home game the weekend after his birthday so after 1st Communion and a soccer tournament game, we ended a very busy weekend with some pro soccer.

1st Communion

Maddox made his 1st Communion and we couldn't be prouder of this step in faith. He was beaming once he had his clothes on right before we headed to church.

 This is one of Maddox's soccer teammates, Sophia. Right after mass, they had to jet off to a tournament game. So glad we got a pic with Father.

Happy 12th Birthday Macen!

12?! Where did the time go?
We surprised him with a phone for his birthday. It made his day and every day since, lol.  It was a low key day with school and then some Chik-Fil-A for dinner. He wanted to go to a Sporting KC game for his birthday so we did that the following weekend when they were in town. We love you Macen!

Soccer Life

Ready for some games!

The laundry that follows! The picture (and all the black) doesn't even begin to explain what is in this pile. I believe there are 5 pairs of soccers socks, 5 shorts, 8 shirts, 2 hoodies, 4 shin guards and 4 layering pieces.

Last weekend was by far one of our busiest soccer weekends. Both boys were in tournaments but at different locations. Macen's team had a regular league game thrown in there too. I don't remember which games were won and which were lost but I do know the boys did what they loved and did it well. James and I love watching them play and what an honor to watch them play that many games in a 48 hr period. We ended the weekend exhausted but happy!

Sea Life Aquarium & Fritz's

It had been awhile since we had been to the Sea Life Aquarium. The boys enjoyed it and doing the hunt for stamps for their phamplets. Neither one wanted to touch the starfish though. We finished off with dinner at Fritz's. Maddox had forgotten you have to order your food by phone. A quick but fun trip downtown to break up the week.
