Hard Working Men

Friday after Thanksgiving my dad took the boys to the farm to work.  Caden left first thing in the morning, so he was litteraly working ALL DAY!  Carter wanted to stay and play with Cole for a while, so he didn't go out until lunch.  It worked out great. 

Dad put them to work...feeding, paperwork, whatever he normally does all day!  The boys had a blast!  They went on and on about their adventures.  The bathtub had tons of grass and dirt in it that night too, so I know they did something :) 

I didn't go out there so these pics are ones my dad took on his cell phone and texted to me.   Sorry for the quality, but at least I got the event documented!  Thanks Daddy for entertaining the boys, they LOVED it and they LOVE you!

Cole's 1st Trip to the Dentist

I took Cole in yesterday for his first dentist visit and cleaning.  It was a typical Cole experience :)  I am so thankful that all the staff there had a great sense of humor and weren't annoyed with Coley Bears stubbornness!  Man he is a handful!  One lady put it perfectly...he is FULL OF LIFE!  He was so ornery and stubborn, but in the end he did great. 

The light was driving him crazy!  But at least he was opening his mouth some!

Finally towards the end of the visit he was doing really well.  But we started at square one again when the dentist came in.  Then after the dentist left, we started over again when they tried to take a picture for the no cavity club.  Let's just say it looks like a mug shot with him facing to the right and me holding his certificate in front of him...just use your imagination :)

I love this boy tremendously but he never ceases to wear me out!  LOL!

Whose Child is This?

Like father like son!

U-8 Runner Up!

We got a call last week from NOSA and they told us that Caden's team finished second in U-8 this season!!!  So we had everyone meet at Irwin Auto for pictures and trophy presentation then took everyone out for pizza!  We are all pumped...can you tell?!?!?

Coach Cory and the 2nd place Orange Crush!

Caden was beyond thrilled! 

 I love the expression I captured here...pure excitement!

Great job Caden, we are so proud of you!

Caden's Soccer Final Game

We survived our first season of U-8...and it was AMAZING!!!  Caden's team did a great job and I so proud of the boys!  Some games were hard having to play older and faster kids.  Caden got frustrated at times, but did really well most of the time.  To think back about how far these boys has come is fun and amazing!  They are doing so well now and it is so much fun.

Here are a few more shots of Caden in action his last game.  The first one he is headed out to start the game and the next two are a goal shot in action...
