End of Soccer Season

The soccer season has come to an end (with the exception of a couple of tournaments)...and a good season it was...Kade's team did very well...learning a lot from their great coach while having fun, and won all of their games.
Following the games we had the end of season party where they received a trophy and a soccer ball.

field trip

Kade's class had a field trip to the Rocky Mountain Corn Maize today and he had a great time.

Football Season's Over

The Junior High Football Season has come to an end...we lost our last game yesterday, but Noah played really good...They had a really good season 3 & 2 in our zone...I'm kind of sad it's over, but now it's on to basketball...Way to go #66 and the whole Cardinal team, I'm so proud of you!!!

The Pumpkins are Carved

...Such Cuteness...

(the pumpkins look good too)

Victory for the Cardinals!!

So proud of my boys!!

SLE Cardinals 36 - Sacred Heart Braves 16
Way to go guys, you played a great game!!!And the only injury was on the sidelines
Kade and his buddy were playing football and his buddy came up and his head hit Kade's mouth - busted lip, loose tooth, lots of blood - but he's a tough boy and doing just fine.

t.i.r.e.d.

I guess the sugar wasn't enough - we were outscored this evening - but they fought hard - and my baby is tired and wore out - good thing they don't have school tomorrow.

Firing Em Up

....17 treat bag decorated....

....17 inspirational cards....
....17 bags of cookies....
....17 bags of chips....
....a lot of candy and gum....
....let's hope the 17 boys are fired up and ready to play some football...
I guess they'll be sugared up if nothings else ;)
Go SLE Cardinals!!!!

the parents take turns bringing treats for the boys, and this week is my turn...not sure why I put so much time in to it...they are boys...they will probably take the goodies out and toss the bag without even reading the inspirational cards...oh well, I think they look good and I'm pretty proud of em...

Cousins

Beau came in this weekend, so that was reason for the family to get together - love having everyone together...can't wait till we get to see him again...at Thanksgiving...

Pride

I'm so proud of my boys...on Monday & Tuesday Kade was home with the stomach bug, and he was such a trooper. I stayed with him on Monday and loved the mommy/Kade time (the 2 1/2 hour nap was really good too), Tuesday he was better, but I didn't want to take any chances, so he stayed with granny (good thing). By Wednesday he was much better and back in school, but when I picked them up, Noah said he wasn't feeling too good. By the time we got home he was sick. That evening he had all the symptoms Kade had, but he was determined...determined that he was not going to miss the next day of school...after not playing a football game for two weeks, there was no way he was going to miss one...he laid in bed that night and say 'mom you know if I miss school tomorrow I'll miss two oral tests in Religion, a quiz in math, a vocabulary test, and the football game - I'm not missing'. I said okay, and told him to pray that he will be better...well he not only made it, but he did very well...he got a 100 on a prayer he had to recite, and he played the entire game, which we won 50-22...
