Isaac started and quit a YMCA soccer league last week. We signed him up for the 8/9 yr old team. His first practice was last Wednesday where he was the only older boy and had little teeny girls as young as 5 on his team. Ummm that's not safe and for sure not ok. As we walked on the field he got a look of his team. Sharing the field was a tackle football team with boys about his age. Yeah, pretty sure playing pansy soccer with the fru fru girls while watching an intense football practice wasn't going to work out. It's too late to join the football team but he wanted off that soccer team whether or not he had any other sport for a replacement. I don't blame him. He's doing awesome in school again this year and has amazing teachers.
Silas began Kindergarten and we all had our fingers crossed that it would work out. The first 2 days he wasn't buying into the structure and rules but by day 3 he decided he loved it. He's done really well adjusting to his new life and complains every Saturday when there's no school. I got a voicemail on Friday from his teacher letting us know how great he's been YAY! Then I got a note yesterday that he "spanked" another boy who'd been naughty to him. He's just a living example that for every action there is an equal or greater reaction. Maybe Jake won't dump Silas' chips out next time.
Jude's 1st day of preschool.
Blowing out his candles.
Feeling pretty awesome with his weedwacker toy.
Ready for his surgery.
Jude turned 3 and was pretty excited about his Birthday. I had planned on making his dessert for our Sunday celebration of his Birthday. At about 8:30 Saturday he told me he needed a race car cake....ut oh...He was expecting a character cake of some kind. Oops. Caleb and I put Elias in charge and ran to Kroger and bought a sweet dragon cake that met his needs. While he were singing to him we had to keep lighting his candles. Guess he didn't know that you're supposed to wait til the end of the song. Yesterday was finally his inguinal hernia repair surgery. Luckily we got bumped to the 1st case of the day so we didn't have to keep him fasting for long. They gave him some medicine that made him tired and amnesic so he wouldn't remember being wheeled away from me. He was like a wasted, drunk 3 year old. He was hilarious. The best thing he did was hold his hands right in front of his face and turn them back and forth and asked me with very slurred speech, "Mom, why are there no toys in my hands?". They went in to repair his hernia and explore the opposite side to be sure it looked healthy... Sure enough they found a second hernia as well. So grateful we waited for a Pediatric Surgeon! The one we were seeing in Idaho wasn't going to check the opposite side. He's recovering very well. He's refusing all pain meds today and is happy and getting around.
Taking Jude on a "choo choo ride". Good thing he won't remember what they were really taking him for.
Snuggling Dad in the recovery room. He was SO agitated waking up from the anesthesia. He was angry, screaming and thrashing around for 20 minutes.

No toys indeed--what a sweetie! Glad the surgery went well, and that you guys are doing well in general. Weird that the soccer team was a bunch of little girls!
Good post!! I will get you your own cd!! We really did have an amazing time!!
The boys look great and Im so glad they are all doing so well.. though we cant wait to have you all back!
Spencer had to have a surgery when he was 3 1/2 and I remember him waking up screaming and thrashing a lot too. Finally the nurses just told us we could leave- I think they were done listening to him. :) Looks like the boys are all doing well. Jamison saw the picture of the cake and was very impressed! :)
Those pictures in the hospital just break my heart. I'm so glad it went well. It was so great reading all the things your boys are doing!
I hear Jude was up and running the next day after surgery. So glad it all went well and that you waited for Children's! We were sure thinking about him all day.
