G

Griffin is growing up. It seems crazy to me that he is four, is wearing a 5T, plays with the big boys, and tells his teacher "that's too easy" when she asks him a question in class. He is full of personality and is also quite mischievous. We have recently discovered that he loves funny lines in movies and thinks he is so funny when he repeats them (just like his dad). The most recent movie that he is loving is How To Train Your Dragon.

Even though he is growing up, he still needs a nap. He can be almost impossible on the no nap days. He now goes to preschool 3 days a week during nap time and more times than not I will find him asleep on the couch within minutes after getting home.

Griff and Navi still have their special little bond . . . it's funny how the other two don't seem to pay much attention to her and in fact get easily bugged when she is crying. Griff is always aware of her and at her side cheering her up the second he hears her!

Fall Soccer

Both Mason and Griffin played fall soccer. This was Masons third season and Griffins first. They were on different teams but ended up both being green, which they were pretty excited about!



Masons team was Green Lightning and was first and second graders. He was one of the younger kids on the team, but you would never know. He has improved leaps and bounds since his first season and absolutely loves every minute of it! He was always so excited to play and sad when his game was over. I asked him if he wanted to play basketball this fall/winter and he said, "no mom, I only play soccer and baseball." No complaints here!





He had a few friends from the neighborhood on his team. (Noah, top left. Pason, top right. Brynlee, next to Mase)

Spectators

Griffins team was the Alligators. This was his first season and he loved it. For Griff it was more about the social aspect . . . but he did get a foot on the ball a few times! He had a great coach who cheered Griff right up when he was crying at the first practice. (He does this with anything new . . . he cries at first but once he gets comfortable he loves it.) I was a little worried about how he would do with his asthma and it really wasn't a problem at all. YEA! I think his favorite part was at the end when he got a trophy and a big candy bar from his coach! Now he has his own trophy and is just like Mase!

Dax got to sit through 2 hours of games 2 times a week. He did really good and kept himself entertained with his tractors and treats!

Bob and Cheryl (Kasey's grandparents) came to just about every game! The boys loved seeing them there and having Grandma cheer them on!

Tonsils

After being told 2 years ago that Mason should have his tonsils out, then dealing with strep over and over and over again for the past two years, we finally bit the bullet and had Masons tonsils taken out. Other than waking up from the anesthesia (which was ROUGH) he did great! I planned on him being out of school for a full week . . . and it ended up being two, but I think it will be so worth it! We are hoping for no more strep throat and just an all around healthier kid!

S I X

I would say sorry for the picture overload . . .but I'm not. I just can't get enough of her (and all her rolls!) I love it! So at six months Navi was 26 1/2 inches (70%), 18 pounds 3 ounces (83%), and her head was 81%. So basically just perfect! She has 2 teeth, is starting to get some stranger anxiety, loves her brothers (especially Griff who she is enchanted with) and is really a pretty easy, happy baby!

SOOO tired :)

VEGAS

Kasey and I went to Vegas a couple months ago with our good friends Brooke and Chad. It had been four years since our last vacation without kids so we were super excited and we couldn't have gone without all of the help from our families with the kids. (Thanks again everyone!!) We had a blast and it was much needed!

Griffs F O U R ! ! !

Griffin turned four . . . ahem . . . in August. He chose to have a Star Wars party with pizza for dinner. He is getting so big! He now goes to preschool 3 days a week and loves it!

He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that Mason does. He is still an extremely independent little guy with a whole lot of spunk! My mom says he reminds her of me when I was little. (I'm in for it!!!)

This is so Griff!!!
