soccer shots {grayson}

Here are a few pics from Grayson's game this weekend. He continues to play left defender, but has also been playing right midfielder as well. He scored two goals on Saturday! :) 

In other Grayson notes, his feet are officially bigger than mine and he comes up to my nose. Will he be taller than me before he starts middle school?!? 

ku football opener

We headed up to Lawrence on Saturday for the opening game of KU's football season. It was crazy hot, sticky, and humid... but we had lots of fun!

 Hi there, Baby Jay!

 playing some games on the practice turf

 Carter got his face painted...

 and Grayson got a cool football balloon hat!

 But, our poor Jayhawks couldn't quite get the job done, losing 41-38. Bummer. :(

sunflower state

We have a huge field of sunflowers behind our neighborhood and it just burst into blooms!

 here's an idea of just HOW TALL the sunflowers are!!

the boys have picked two bouquets for me this week... so sweet :)

carter lost his 4th tooth!

Carter lost his 4th tooth last week with the help of Grayson! I loved watching both of their faces...

academy affiliate weekend {2015}

Grayson's soccer club headed to Kansas City for the Academy Affiliate weekend in mid-August. They played two friendlies against teams from Arkansas and Omaha, and we were able to go to the Sporting KC game on Saturday night. It was an action-packed fun weekend!

 G doing a throw-in -- see the ball way up there?!?

 sporting (no pun intended) the new uniforms this year

 with one of the Sporting players after a friendly -- Ike Opara

 Swope Soccer Village is where the friendlies were held. It's also home to the Sporting KC practice facilities, and where the FC Kansas City (girls) play. It's a beautiful setting, with lots of trees and foliage surrounding it.

 That evening, we headed out to Sporting Park!

Carter was trying some barefoot shooting here ;)

 We were sticky and hot, but had a great night rooting on Sporting! They came from behind in a dramatic finish, and beat Vancouver 4-3!!
