Chad turned 7 on Saturday and we had a great day with him. He is a treasure to us and I just can't imagine what my life was like before this awesome boy was in it. He just cracks me up and makes everyday a little better. He was so patient with us all day waiting to open his presents. Most of the time the kids open their gifts after they eat their doughnut breakfast left by the "birthday fairy". We had such a busy day planned that we didn't have time to open presents. Claire had chorus rehearsal from 9-12, Cody had his first soccer game at 10 and we were running like crazy! All Chad really wanted was a "big boy" wallet. Pretty easy gift for Mom!! We also got him a clip-on I-Dog that has become his favorite gift! The boy loves music and the I-dog lets him listen to his MP3 player without headphones. He's been belting out "Hey Jude" all over the place! We also spent a lot of time outside playing with his new giant frisbee! Chad loves to play frisbee and really wanted one of those big ones.
Here's a shot of the birthday boy blowing out his candles on his oh so yummy cupcakes!
Saturday was also Cody's first soccer game! What fun! We had a couple of friends from church come out and watch with us. Cody's good friend, Calvin, is on the same team and they love playing together! It is so funny to watch a herd of 5 year olds chase after the soccer ball. We won - although they don't really keep score. Cody is playing for One Goal which is a God-centered sport association. We love that before the start of each game there is a prayer led over the loudspeaker and each of the children are introduced for all the teams playing that hour. At halftime they have a small devo and say their assigned memory verse for the week. It's God first, fun second, and learning the sport third. It's a great environment for us right now.
Better get busy doing something productive! I'll finish out with a couple of shots of our little soccer player!
Have an awesome spring day!!

Okay, you HAVE to post again! It's APRIL! :)
What she said... :) It's April, Easter is on it's way, any big plans, any easter dresses to show?
Wish ONe Goal was around our neighborhood. Games cancelled on Sat last week were scheduled the next day, Sunday...
love ya-
The prayer and introductions are the same at Chase (well used to be Chase) and Molly's b-ball games. But you have been there so maybe you remember. Anyway, that sounds like a great association.
