Sports Camp

A few weeks ago the boys did a sports camp where they learned how to play basketball, t-ball, and soccer. They both loved it! I was nervous about how Jordan would do since he doesn't love sports as much as Jackson, but he did really good. He wanted me to stay and watch him which was fine with me. I enjoyed watching them. My mom and dad both came. The boys loved that. On the last day Jackson was a little sad to go because it was going to be the last day. And after it was over he started asking if they can do it again next year.

Playing baseball. Jackson spread his legs really far for grounders.

Jordan hitting.

Soccer. Jordan is touching the goal and Jackson is to the left of the girl.

Putting cones on their heads for a soccer drill.

Kenzie liked to go sit next to the boys during their water/gummy bear break. Sometimes the coaches would give her a gummy bear too.

Kenzie-Girl.

Jordan shooting at the low basket. He liked this one the better than the higher ones.

Jackson shooting at the highest hoop. He kind of liked shooting at this one, but couldn't get the ball up high enough for it. If we sign up to play basketball in the winter this is they height of hoop he'll be playing at so I encouraged him to try shooting at this one when he could.

Jack dribbling.

Soccer. The week we did it it was pretty cold and rained some of the time. Jackson wore a jacket this day.

One of their favorite parts was playing toilet tag. They would chase each other with water noodles and if they got tagged they had to do this:

Kneel down and put their hand out and wait until someone flushed them. Then they'd run around again.

Jack shooting at the middle height hoop. He was good at shooting at this one, but it was still a little challenging so it was his favorite hoop.

Kenzie.

They also liked doing the parachute. Although one day Jackson said he liked everything except the parachute because he didn't get to be a cat in the game. He did get to be one the next day though.

Practicing defense.

The boys were in the littlest group. The coach told me she could have put them in the middle group because they both listened well. I wish they would have been because the middle group was able to do more then the younger group. Like in soccer the middle group actually played a game but the boys' group didn't.

On the last day this dog came to play for awhile. When Kenzie saw him she said "Chuck E. Cheese!"

Jack getting his award.

Giving the dog a hug. I wasn't sure how he would do with him. Jackson wasn't afraid of him.

Jordan getting his award and doing the secret hand shake.

Jordan didn't want to give the dog a hug. But he didn't freak out like I thought he might so I was proud of him.

King County Fair

We went to the King County Fair a couple weeks ago. Despite it being a little cold, the kids had a great time. The boys did the rides most of the time we were there, Kenzie tried to run away from us, and Coleman slept (surprising, I know). It was the first time the boys were brave with riding rides. Last year, Jordan only liked a few slow rides at fairs and Jack wouldn't do the roller coaster, but this year they did almost all the kid rides, including the roller coaster. But excluding the merry-go-round so I don't know if Jordan would go on that. He usually refuses. Oh, and we also looked at the animals and shared an elephant ear. Jackson said the elephant ear was his least favorite part.



They both loved this ride because they did jumps on it.

Kenzie refused to look at me for a picture.

Kenzie loves Dora so we had to get her picture as Dora.

Jordan also loves Dora.

And we all love going to the fair.

Last Year

Last year at this time we were here:

enjoying the beautiful, warm beach. I miss Hawaii and can't wait until we can go back.

Outside Pictures

I need new pictures of my kids to hang up on our wall so I took some yesterday of them. I don't know which ones I'm going to use yet. But these ones are all contenders to be chosen.

Jordan:




Jackson
(I tried to have him stand next to the fence in the sun but he hated it because the sun was in his eyes. He really hates that :))
