Sports!

It has been a busy fall with sports. Leyton is playing baseball for his first time. Harrison is playing t-ball and soccer. Erin-Elizabeth is playing soccer. They are all enjoying themselves and having great seasons! Leyton has enjoyed baseball more than he has any other sport. He is doing a great job and his coach has been fantastic. Harrison's sports highlights have been "my backwards kick on the soccer field" and how he slides into home 100% of the time. He's doing great! EE is doing a much better job with passing this season. She pretty much loves soccer for the snacks but she certainly knows how to score those goals! I love watching her play! These activities have kept us busy but it's been worth it!

GO Rangers!

Harrison is SIX!

Happy Birthday, Harrison!
You have been planning your Indiana Jones themed birthday party for months! I am sorry that we didn't pull through with getting you that mini horse to ride in on to kick-off your birthday bash. You dream big, don't you baby? I am so proud of the little guy you are becoming. You almost always have a smile on your face. You are so kind to your friends and family. You are happy about life and are easily pleased. You forgive quickly. You are super generous. I think all of these things will take you so far in this life. We could all learn so much from you, buddy.

Your birthday party (minus mini horses) was a success. We only had one kid not quite make it across the plank over the pool. Only one adult was injured in the "whipping practice"...and everyone enjoyed your grand finale of jumping off the diving board in your Indiana Jones costume. Thank you for taking your boots off first. I had a smile ear to ear at your party because I knew how excited you were to have your friends and family at our house to celebrate your big day. I just wish that I wasn't still cleaning "monkey brains" off the driveway.

Your teacher described you as "truly happy. a tiny joy package." I love this description and I couldn't agree more. I have to tell you that your light is bright and I'm so thankful that it shines on me everyday!

I love you, my six year old!
Love, Mommy
