Sports Weekend

Lincoln is a super sporty little guy!  We enrolled him in gymnastics for over a year, and he loved it.  We switched to baseball lessons for this spring and summer, and he always had lots of fun hitting, batting, catching and running the bases.  He still takes swimming lessons once a week, and he's swimming like a fish!  So for the fall, we decided to try out soccer.  On this rainy Saturday morning, we all geared up for a fun new sport.  Linc had a blast in the practice and loved kicking back and forth with the coach.  He thought Linc's kicks and timing were really good, and he was so encouraging.  Success, right? 

 So the game after the practice wasn't nearly as much fun.  Linc just didn't get in the rhythm of the game, and he was so sad there was only one ball.  Ok, Lesson One was a learning experience!  Beau was prepared with snacks, water and his own ball to kick around on the sidelines.  He wasn't bothered by the drizzle and had a blast!

 After our rainy soccer morning, we helped our buddy Conner celebrate his 4th birthday with a sports theme.  The party was at Kevin's old gymnastics place in the Heights Rec Center.  I'm sure Daddy was reliving tons of old gymnastics memories . . . he said it looks exactly the same!  The kids had so much fun, and Linc didn't let a busted lip slow him down.  He was super excited about the cookies and cupcakes, and he was definitely the loudest "Happy Birthday" singer! 

 I wish I had a picture of Beau eating his cupcake at Conner's party.  He was only interested in the icing, and tried a few times to pick it up and lick the icing off.  He finally decided to just sink his hand on top of the cupcake and suck the icing off his fingers.  YUCK!  His face and hands were a complete mess, but he was a happy boy!  Sweet Beau also posed for a cute picture after dinner on Sunday.  He was making a mess of the movies, but looking so cute doing it!

We had a pretty chill Sunday after a busy Friday and Saturday.  The week ahead is sure to be busy, but I think a lot of fun is planned.  Lincoln's preschool class is moving to the letter N, so there will be lots of new things to learn about.  We try to compliment his studies at home, and we always learn a lot of new words and try a lot of new letter-themed activities during the week.  What yummy foods start with the letter N . . . I'll know soon!
