Ridding with Emma!

 

Gymnastics with this monkey!

She usually falls asleep much faster on these nights! 

Emma's first time on the ice

I don't know why I haven't taken her before, she's a natural at roller skating. I knew she'd love the ice as much as I did when I was young. She got the hang of it before I did, which was a bit embarrassing! My muscle memory was lost! We had so much fun, I can't wait to go again!

Soccer 3 years ago... Wow how they've grown!

Gladstone United - Last Game

This year, Christian's last year in middle school Gladstone Unit was undefeated!  Not even our rivals could squash these boys from giving coach Brian the send off he deserved. These boys worked so hard to get to where they are..  a team united not only with talent, but with an amazing drive and passion. Christian took away so many lessons, achievements, and memories in the years he spent playing for coach Brian.

I look forward to cheering these boys toward many more goals in the next 4 years... Gladstone High School Soccer!

During the last game each GU player had their number held up to sub out. The last quarter played by their predecessors. GU players then ceremoniously dumped huge Gatorade container of water on coach Brian's head!

Had a really good game on Saturday. Decided on the impromptu team party. Sent this picture to the Whiskey Hill coach. We're ready for them. #GLADSTONEUNITED

These kids had such a great game today playing against their rival. Both teams were undefeated, but only one stayed that way. So proud of these boys for working so hard to stay on top!

Ready for us?

T-Ball 08

Christian did not like baseball AT ALL! He had 3 practices with Gladstone youth baseball. All 3 times he got hit in the face by the ball! This was not a good introduction to the sport at all. I ended up switching Christian from Gladstone youth baseball to Putnam T-ball. I didn't want him to give up before knowing the fun of an actual game. I'm glad I did, but he still ended up not wanting to continue with this sport. Good thing there are many other sports for him to love!
