Soccer Stats?

This year Spencer and Cooper did indoor soccer at the Rec Center! It was 5 weeks long twice a week and they had such a great time!

(My Picasa was acting up so none of these pics are edited! SORRY)
Spencer was very proud of his certificate at the end of the season!
I loved watching him progress and practice. As he got better be became more and more confident and it was so special to watch him recognize practice makes perfect... or better anyway :)
He was very involved with his team! He made lots of little friends and would spend time afterwards telling us all about the different kids and what he liked about them!
It was pretty hard to get a good picture of them in action because they all swarmed around the ball! But Spencer was really good at staying right in the middle of it all and really gave it all he had!
Check out that team... TEAM REAL
Ahh... Coopers team!
Well we coached his team, as a last resort when no one else could do it we said "of course we will!" Even though we had no clue what we were doing!
hehehe
But looking back it went really well! The kids had fun and I think they even learned a few things about soccer!
It was really special for Cooper and BJ to get to spend that time together! And for Cooper to be able to have that unique opportunity it really made him feel important and that meant the most to me!
His little team was made of 3 and 4 year olds so it was really funny to watch them because some of them just were NOT interested in playing!!!

But Cooper was a really good player, he stayed involved in the game and practice the WHOLE time(which is more then most of the kids hahaha) He was pretty fast and had a really strong kick!
Most of all he was proud of himself and his team! He loved going and was such a good participant!

Doing these games for 3 1/2 hours twice a weeks was such an eye opener to the future! With 3 boys and lots of games and sports and different schedules its going to be crazy ride!

I sure enjoyed watching my boys out there, they are getting so big and growing up so fast!
GOSH... I just love it!

Spring in Logan

Spring in Logan is a bit chilly and very unreliable! One day its warm and sunny and the next day it rains or SNOWS! I have come to expect this crazy weather and just enjoy ti while its warm!

We went to Baby Animal days with the kids and unfortunately it was raining and cold! But I gotta tell you the mud made it so much more fun for the boys!
We painted faces (Cooper was not huge fan, the paint on his face:)
Graham fell in love with the baby animals! He loved petting and touching them! He just couldn't get enough! I think he has a real soft spot for animals!

These bunnies were so cuddly!
They sat down out of the cold and just had some quality time with these little bunnies!
This bud was deep and mushy and perfect for them! We came prepared with rain boots and grubby pants! BJ and I tried to navigate around but the boys just tromped on through!

My dirty little sillies! I love when they can just get dirty and play and have fun! Its something in them that just thrives on exploring! I want to be able to encourage and nurture that, and not always be worried about the mess! :)


My little mud trooper! He wants so bad to be big like his brothers and do EVERYTHING they can! He is always a few steps behind but he is catching up!!!!
Cooper could survive on suckers if we let him! He has such a sweet tooth! :)

We also got a few pictures at the Children's Museum! The boys LOVE it there! This section is the cowboy area! Graham loves it because of the Moo-Cows!
In each section they have dress ups so you can play pretend! Oh man they LOVE dressing up! Look at that face! My Spencer is such a ham!



We also went to a play where the kids get to participate as the actors! These costumes are a Bunny and a Goose!
Next time we go to the museum I will try to take more pictures! It is SO much fun!

Cooper turns 4!

Look at these brothers! Its a rare moment when they all sit and cuddle together quietly! Cooper had a birthday on March 29th and I love this photo because it show his sweetness! He really loves his brothers and is growing up to be such a sweet boy!
On his birthday we went to A and W. His favorite food is Hot Dogs, so grose, but he just loves them!

Check out that foot long birthday dog! :) He LOVED it!
He is really into Wolverine right now! And so we got him these claws so he could really be a proper Wolverine!

Cooper had a Lego Party and so here we go...
Lego rice crispies...
Cooke sandwiches....






Lego Coloring Pages...
Who can build the tallest tower game...



Cooper picked out this silly Spongebob piñata! He just wanted it SO bad and was VERY protective over it! Until we brought the bat at! And then all tried to knock off his legs :)


His birthday cake was a lego tower! it was super cute!

He had a great party, thanks to everyone who came and to my Little Coop you are so special to me I LOVE YOU oodles!
