Curt’s First Soccer Game

Saturday was Curt’s first Soccer game. Prior to this his team had only had TWO practices!! Remembering this they did pretty well. The only down fall was he had been told that they did not play with a goalie. We learned Saturday that this was incorrect!! Our couch decided to put Curtis on Goalie...

I will let you in on a little secret, Curtis is scared of getting hit by the ball!! YEA, I KNOW THEY PUT HIM ON GOALIE =) Pastor Ronnie game him a little pep talk...

Although it looks like neither one of them bought it!

He didn’t do all the terrible, he didn’t stop the ball but he didn’t run away or cry =)

I am looking forward to games in the future since we have our first game under our belts!!

What the rest of us were doing!!

 

This is a picture of Jayden and Cadie from practice, and I thought it was Cute!!

I now have a FIVE year old..

Five years ago today, I became a mother.. I had no clue what I was doing! All I knew is that I had been blessed with this tiny little miracle that I loved (and still do) with my entire self!

I pretty much raised Curt alone his first 9  months of life. Brett worked seconds shift, so he worked when we were asleep and slept when we were awake.(yuck, so thankful we don’t do that any more)

I woke Curt up this morning with a banana nut muffing and a candle.. I then took him and his birthday treats to Grandma Carol so that Papa Hank could take him to school, and I would go to work. After work the four of us went out to eat to celebrate Curtis!

Curtis chose Carlos O’ Kellys

We then picked up Curt’s cake and headed to youth group. Where we played kickball..

and had cake before our worship/learning/praying time! After we sang, Ted flipped Curt over for a round of B-Day spankings (even though no one was really fast enough to get one in)

After youth this is how I found my pretty princess!!

Once again we made the right call in changing Cadence into pajamas before leaving youth group!!

**I am very thankful to be Curtis’ mom! Happy 5th Birthday Curtis**

Turning FIVE!

Wednesday September 7, 2011 my sweet little man will turn FIVE! It is hard to believe that he is that big already. After a miscarriage prior to having Curtis I earnestly prayed for this young man. God was so faithful to us, and Curt has been such a blessing to our family!

** We decided to forgo a big birthday party and take Curt to the T-Rex Café in Kansas City, his FAVORITE place** However it was a blessing to us that what started out as a small family trip turned into a pretty good number of our family traveling up to Kansas City.

Curtis and Cadence on our way to Kansas City!

This is only the second time my children have spent the night in a hotel (well the third if you count when Kristin graduated with her masters, but they were both VERY little and don’t remember).. so everything is a hotel is *super exciting* to these two! And I do mean EVERYTHING!!

We were lucky enough to get a coupon through traveling with my In-Laws to stay at Argosy for $59.00!! (this same room is normally $250) However the rest of my family stayed a few miles away, at a hotel with a pool! So we went to their hotel to swim...

After swimming we went back to our room so Curt and Cadie could play in Argosy’s *wonderful showers* (seriously these showers are the size of my kitchen, almost)

Some new Dinosaur pajamas, and then Kristin and the kids came to our room for a PJ party! (that ended when everyone got tired )

Curtis and Cadie did wonderful falling asleep.. about 5:30 am. I heard Cadie crying Mommy, and found her by the door crying! I guess she had woken up and forgotten where we were. However, I snuggled up in bed with her and she went right back to sleep, until 9:00 (I CAN’T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I SLEPT UNTIL NINE)

*FINALLY* it was time to go to the T-Rex Café!

The staff there was wonderful!! The kids got to build a dinosaur...

dig for dinosaur fossils...

and finally EAT and presents!!

They of course came out and say their dinosaur birthday song to him, which ended with a ROAR!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY my sweet little man! We had a wonderful trip, I am blessed that so many of our family offered to drive to Kansas City to celebrate with him.

This is just because I love my Grandma SO VERY MUCH!
