Xavier is 15!!!

I can't believe Xavier is now 15. He is currently taking driver's ed. He is such a great example to everyone in our family, but especially to his two younger brothers. This picture is about 5 years ago. He used to read Bionicle comics to Traejen and sing to him to help him fall asleep. Happy 15th Xavier!!!

Brevin is 5!!!! Happy Birthday

I can hardly believe that Brevin is 5. He is full of energy and enjoys life. He is really into coloring and painting right now. He loves video games, webkins, digging in the dirt or sand, playing with friends and cousins picking dandelions and sneaking cookies. I just registered him for Kindergarten and he is very excited to go to school with Traejen on the bus. He is reading well and prints very neatly. He has recently started playing t-ball with his friend Pyper. Dane says they are ultra silly together....I can't believe that!

Easter-09

The kids are smiling all at one time....can you believe it? We hunted for Eggs at the Caldwell Egg hunt, then went to the last part of Traejen's soccer game, then had our annual egg hunt that evening. We had an extended family dinner at our house the next evening.

Xavier-tennis

Xavier just finished his tennis season. He and his friend Connor placed 1st in Boys' Doubles at the Columbia Freshmen Tournament earlier this season. Xavier moved up to JV about half way through the season. He finished 2nd in a JV tournament in Parma later in the season. He played Boy's singles toward the end. He improved a lot and had a good time.

Home Teachers

The lizards came home teaching last weekend. We have great home teachers and they have geckos that Quincee loves and begs to keep. They have brought them to visit a few times and have really gone out of their way to make the kids happy. I do not enjoy the scaley guys, but fortunately, Quincee put one right in my lap last time. I did survive.

Traejen basketball

Traejen had fun in basketball with Dane coaching. He often wore a headband to keep his hair out of his eyes. This is a comical picture of him running down court. He had 10 point in one of his games! Here are some pictures of the three oldest playing slam dunk and posing in their uniforms.

Basketball is over?

Basketball is over for the most part. Xavier is now playing part of the time on his school AAU team in between tennis matches. He is now just under 6 feet tall. He will out grown Dane this summer I am quite sure. He is playing part of the time on the Freshman tennis team and fills in on the JV from time to time. Quincee has now started tennis on the "A" team at her middle school. Traejen has started soccer, but wants to go hit the tennis ball every day...so he is usually out hitting the ball against the garage. Brevin will try tennis this summer and likes to try to hit a few.
