Busy, Yet Grateful

Wowsa we had quite the weekend!!! Yesterday the boys had 2 football games a piece. Let’s talk about Ryker! The first game was rough but the second game was awesome. He ran the ball in for his first touchdown via run! He also pulled his first flag, which is an accomplishment because prior to that game I wasn’t fully confident he could pull one. Those things take some getting used to!

AJ had such an awesome second game as well. He caught a touchdown pass and even got a chance to run the ball.  AJ almost always plays center. It’s not a glorious position, but it’s important. You can’t start any plays without the center. AJ doesn’t complain, and is almost always the first guy out of the huddle to the line of scrimmage. He hustles on and off the field and listens when his coaches are talking. It isn’t an easy team to play on, because it’s super intense. But AJ does love it and handles it all.  He even got Player of the Game! I love watching those boys play on a team. It makes me so happy how hard they work, how they have fun, and have developed awesome friendships with their teammates. 

Today Dempsey told me, “ I wish I was on a team!”  I can’t wait to find her one:)

Dempsey and I attended our first ballet with our dear friends Mandy and Ella. One of my favorite parts of the ballet was when they were ballerinas on stage and Dempsey started replicating their movements in my lap. Her arm would raise up and then lower and when they did that move where they shuffle on their feet backswards, she would shuffle in my lap. So sweet❤️
