Typical Keaton!!

So the real reason that I started posting this morning was because Keaton inspired me to do so. When he got up this morning he had a bowl of cereal and finished off the box. After he was finished eating he asked me if he could make a "project" with the box. I asked him what kind of project?? He said " I want to make a Star Wars ship out of the box." I told him that was fine. He disappeared into the kitchen to make his ship. I continued on with my morning chores. About a half hour later I found him on the couch watching T.V. in a hat and his underwear. I didn't think much of it - he is always doing random things like putting on a beanie and ski gloves in the middle of summer - "Cause he likes it" so I continued on with my morning. I called him in the laundry room to pick up his clean laundry and he was no longer wearing the hat. I said come here - a little closer - closer.... what happened to your hair???? "Oh I think it is from the haircut place yesterday" (he got a haircut yesterday) I said let me see that -- I was ready to call the lady - then he informed me that he decided to just cut it a little while he was doing his project earlier this morning. It was so hard not to laugh - I had to turn my back. Now the decision at hand is to shave the whole thing - or just let the spot grow back - We will have to wait for Dad to get home from work for the final decision.

Football Carnival

Tanner had football carnival yesterday. This is where the Clovis elementary schools get together and scrimmage each other. The teams play 12 minute scrimmages. Tanner loved every minute of it. He was so excited yesterday morning. While we were driving to Buchanan he said "Mom- I've got butterflies in my stomach. This is going to be so cool. I mean- we are going to play in the BIG stadium!! I can't wait!" We had a great time cheering him on. It was weird to be the parent in the stands cheering. It really makes you feel your age. Plus when I looked down the row from me, in the bleachers, who did I see.... Mr. Jeff LaBlue. His two girls were cheering. We discussed how it was really weird to be here how many years later - now cheering on our own kids. Man time flies.

Soccer Star

Keaton started soccer this week. He is loving it. He knew he was going to have practice on Thursday - so all week all we heard was "How many more days is it 'til Thursday??" This is his second year playing U-6's and there are some differences in his competitiveness, but some things never change.

Football Update

So Tanner had his first scrimmage Friday. He really enjoyed it. They didn't keep score and he liked that. He told me " Mom, it's just so we know what to do when we have a real game"

They have another scrimmage this Friday and then the real games will start the following week. He has sustained no injuries to date, a few bruises along the way but

that's about it. When I asked him how he was liking football he responded with " It's really cool - it's the only place where I am allowed to push people down!" We are all feeling like this is really good for him. As long as he is enjoying it we will continue to encourage it. Another added bonus is that he is on the "B" team - which is a really good thing - the guys on the "A" team look huge =)
