Soccer Time for JJ

It is always so fun to watch the kids compete at any level. Jordan loves playing soccer.

The other day he was telling Uncle Justin that his jersey was black and his number was 12. Justin asked him if that was his favorite number and Jordan said "No, I really wanted number 16". Justin asked why and JJ said "because that is when you get your driver's license and I really want my driver's license." He cracks us up!

JJ in action.

Jordan loves this sequence of photos. One, because he is on a break away with the other kids chasing him, but watch the little boy to the left of Jordan.

It's a rough game!

He shoots and scores!!!!!

Not only does he score but then he runs down to the other end of the field and dives to save the ball from going in his goal. This was the save that he talked all day about. What a kid!

The Month of April

As usuall we have been busy this month. Just wanted to post a few pics of our dancer. She performed at Achivement Days for all of her friends and is getting ready for her dance festival in a few weeks.

If there is anybody who knows how to strike a pose it is our Sadie.

We've also been busy with more basketball for Carson. He is playing on the Junior University of Calgary Dinos team right now and LOVES his basketball game! Lately he has really grown up. His voice is changing into that nice deep voice like his dads, he is getting broader with some muscles, he is starting too loose that baby face, and has even had to shave his upper lip a couple of times. I often find myself watching him in amazement while he is doing something and I have to remind myself that he was actually my baby. He is not a little kid any more and it is sometimes hard for me to watch him grow up so fast. Darcy and I were talking about this the other night and he mentioned the "simpler days" when we lived in our little McKenzie house and Carson was this cute little guy running around the house. As Darcy was talking I notice a glint of some water (not tears of course) in his eyes. It is fun to watch the kids grow up and learn new things but it is bitter sweet! They just grow up way too fast!!
