Celebrating with Friends

Today was Grant's friend party. After much debate between 2 places, he chose SoccerPlex...an indoor soccer arena right by our house. We invited 8 friends, but one couldn't come, one was sick and then one just didn't come. So in the end there were just 6 kiddos, including Grant and Beckett. Everyone had a great time!

For the first hour we were on the small field. It's the field used by the kiddos 8 and under. Then we moved onto the BIG field. The boys were so excited to get out there! There was a score board and everything! Great time.

 Go Beckett!

 There go the Simmons boys!

 Getting so big. :-) and :-( 

 Go yellow!

 One of Grant's friends is the son of the school's PE teacher. The boys were pretty psyched to have him out there running the flag football game. We played flag for the last 30 minutes or so. 

Go red!

 Gotta love the red face and sweat!

 Left to right - Beckett, Jud, Grant, Charles, Greyson and Max

And of course a goofy one. :-)

Little video of the flag game.

Grant's actual birthday is next weekend! Nothing like celebrating your birthday for a week!

Picture Catch Up

Here are some pictures from the last month or so.

Goofing around at Costco while we wait for our pizza to cook.

Beckett was King of the Day in his classroom. Each student has a chance to be King/Queen of the day. Your day comes complete with a crown and a book of drawings from your friends.

More soccer photos.

This one cracks me up. Grant seemed to think that he was guarding someone in basketball or something....really not sure what he was thinking. That's his teammate behind him trying to score a goal and Grant is guarding the goalie like it's basketball. He was super embarrassed after this.

GOAL!

Alaska Represents at Parkside Elementary!

Amy came for a day visit this weekend...always with a book or 2 in tow.

Then we desperately needed haircuts. Thanks Amy for being a good sport and tagging along!
