Future Olympian?!

Today David started gymnastics class! He is in a class called Tumble Tykes at a new gymnastics facility here. We were so excited for him to have this opportunity to work on his weak tummy muscles and have fun with his friends! David knew many of the children in the class and surprisingly he did awesome! We got in the car to go home, and he signed "more!"


Touching his toes in the warmup! He stayed on his carpet square and seemed to love the warmup moves:) David is checking out the girl beside him!

Jumping into the foam ball pit. At first he was a little leery, but he loved it!

Oops..what is a little gymnastics without a face plant or two! Mike was sitting behind me and you heard a collective gasp from him and the other parents. David just jumped right up and kept jumping on the tumble track. I don't think Mike will come again to watch David, I think this one class did his nerves in!:)

Is this not the cutest picture! They were suppose to be jumping like a pencil with their arms straight up in the air. I believe David is getting ready for Christmas early with his reindeer antlers!!:) What a cutie:)

Football Frenzy!

Well, we made it through the first real football game and Kyle is still grinning! He loves it even though he learned tonight there is another team coming after him! Bless his heart, on the first play of the game, Kyle got the ball and ran for a touchdown. Frankly I have never seen him move that fast and as his mother I know why he had that speed-he was running for his life so he wouldn't get tackled!! Here are several pictures of the touchdown!


This afternoon David was so excited about Kyle's game that he found the helmet and had to get some downs in in our living room! It is definite football frenzy in our house! Next week starts the regular season games-I will be there with bells on cheering my guts out as always:) Go Cowboys!



With my new camera lens, I got really close on this picture!

Sweet David having some after school football fun in our Steelers helmet:)

Opening drive of the game-go baby go!:) It all happened so fast, that it was hard to cheer and take pictures at the same time.

My angel faces. Several minutes after this precious angelic picture was taken, Kyle tackled David which ensued a Robinson riot!!!:)

Happy Boy-Scared Mom!

I should have known this football thing would not go away. Kyle has been talking about playing football well over a year now. Signups were last week, and I simply thought somewhere in my mind that he would see what it would be like and back out-no such luck for this worried Mommy. He came home from "uniform pickup night" with this getup on and this smile plastered to his face! He was so proud of himself:)

The next night would be the first practice. A light rain fell and I smugly thought that this first practice would put an end to this football stuff. I soon realized, however, that the rain actually made him MORE excited about this upcoming first practice. Mike took him and I watched from the sidelines as my son had the time of his life! He loved the stretching and warmup just as much as he loved the playing part. This week, however, will be his first game-I cannot wait to see if his enthusiasm grows or dims as he comes into contact with an opposing team. In the meantime, I will be in the laundry room trying to figure out where all these pads go in this pair of tiny white pants!:)
