Sports, sports and more sports...

A big reason I havent had time to blog?  Sports.  This is Wade's thing. He's an athlete, he loves sports. We both want the kids to be active and love whatever it is they choose to do. Figuring out what activity that is...well, we haven't gotten there yet.  Wade wants the kids in as many sports as they want to take at any given time. I think they should get 1 sport per season.  So far, he has won this disagreement.  We juggled 6 sports schdules for a few months, the 3 oldest were in 2 sports each, which made it very difficult with Wade's travel schedule...but Grampa was there to "pinch hit" for him.  We have games and practice most every night of the week, sometimes back to back practices and sometimes double booked...but we survived.  Here's a few pics of the kids...

RILEY -- (gymnastics, tumbling, and basketball) 



Basketball, she loved!

Her basketball coach says she is the most "aggressive" on the team (which is a good thing in basketball)...she wasnt afraid to steal the ball. She really loved playing too. She was one of 2 girls on her team (9 boys).

We had to give up gymnastics when basketball started, so she was just in tumbling and basketball.  Tumbling has really been good for her.  When she started she could do an ok cartwheel.  Now she does a perfect one handed cartwheel, a roundoff, and a back handspring.  Currently working on the roundoff backhandspring.

BROOKE -- (soccer and gymnastics)

Brooke was a VERY good soccer star too.  She loved getting out there.  She hustled after the ball.  Probably the best player on her team.

Brooke averaged 2 goals per game!

Brooke LOVES "gee-nastics"

CADE -- (soccer, spring baseball (coach pitch) and summer baseball)

Cade liked soccer in the beginning, but he tuckered out by the end and was ready to move on to baseball. 

Baseball is more his speed.  Not as much running...he can goof off while on the bench and make his friends laugh. 

Cade has to slide home every time...even if the ball is no where close to him.

Someday J.P., someday it will be your turn. 

Cade and Wade...

I love his face in this one.  I know there's a lot of baseball pics, but I had to include it too!
