Fruit Snacks, a great way to kill bugs

I hate having to use youtube to load my videos but I can't get them to load on my computer any other way. I am embarrassed about the mess in the background but this was hilarious though and I had to post it.

Lone Peaks Knights 6th Grade Football

Isaac started his football season a couple of weeks ago and it has been a blast for him. He is playing with some great kids and has some really good coaches.
He plays tail back and defensive end.
The very first play of the very first game Isaac ran the ball 60 yards for a touchdown. That was such a great experience for him and we look forward to some more touchdowns and great plays this season. (Grandma and Grandpa you would be proud!)
It is still hard to believe that he is old enough to play football, but he works so hard and enjoys the challenge and competition. His coach caught me after one of the games and told me what a good kid he thought Isaac was and what a hard worker he is. He said that it is really easy to be his coach. Those are the type of moments that really make a parent proud.

Lafe Turns 2!

I am a little late in posting about it but a couple weeks ago Lafe turned 2. He is growing up so fast and it is hard to believe that our baby is 2 already. We had a pinata that the kids broke. Lafe was in heaven as he was encouraged to hit something with a bat besides a ball.
He had a lot of help from his sisters opening his presents because he didn't quite get what he was supposed to do.

As far as blowing out his candles we had to relight them several times because as soon as we got one lit he would blow it out.
One of the gifts that Lafer got was this t-shirt. And oh how true it is.
Sage was trying to whisper to Lafe what his present was.
This was Lafer's favorite gift of the night. The soccer ball and goal.
He new exactly what the goal was for.

I couldn't help but think back to when Lafer was born. He had a rough start as he had to spend the first two weeks of his life in the NICU at a hospital in Portland. He had a hard time getting his lungs working at first. Looking at him you wouldn't have thought he had anything wrong. He was 7 lb 14 oz and one of the biggest babies in the NICU.
He had to have a chest tube put in because he had a pneumothorax (hole in his lung) so we couldn't hold him for a few days after he was born.
It was hard to see him hooked up to all the tubes and wires and not to be able to hold him.
What a special boy Lafer is.
As much as we miss him being a little baby, we are sure enjoying watching him grow and learn.
