1st/2nd Grade Basketball

Brynn had her first basketball practice the other night. She was so excited! She had been wanting to play basketball for years and now she is finally old enough to be on a team! Brody was supposed to wrestle this Fall, but decided he didn't want to after Brynn told him he'd have to wear a leotard:) Long story short, we missed the deadline to register him for basketball:(

Christmas Card

Birthday Skating Party!

7th Birthday!

This year, B and B's birthday was on a Friday. It was also their class Halloween party day too. Mom and I surprised them with balloons, donuts, and presents at breakfast. Then we went and had lunch with them at school and went to their class parties. After school, we took them to Oak Park mall. Brynn got her very first American Girl doll (Julie)! Brody chose a Jurassic World Lego set from the Lego Store. It was a busy, but exciting and fun day for all of us!

7 Year Doctor's Appt.

This year, B and B had their 7 year check-up early on October 22nd. Brody weighed 59 lbs. (83%) and was 50 inches (75%) tall. Brynn weighed 71 lbs. (99%) and was 52 inches tall (99%). They both received flu shots at their appt. Brody had an allergic reaction to his flu shot. He scratched his arm and it became infected. He ended up having cellulitis in his arm and was put on Bactrim. Thankfully, his arm started looking and feeling better after a couple doses of the antibiotic.

First Teeth Lost!

Brody finally lost his first tooth on August 24th! He had been looking forward to this day for a long time! It had been around 15 months since Brynn lost her first tooth, so he was really excited! The Tooth Fairy left him a note and $2, so he was happy! The next day, he lost another tooth! He told me he would really like it if the Tooth Fairy would give him $3 for his second tooth, so he could have $5. The next day, he woke up to another note and $3! It was really sweet to see his excitement! Behind the second tooth he lost, his new tooth was about 1/3 of the way already in. We probably should have worked a little harder getting those teeth out sooner. So far, Brynn has lost 8 teeth and Brody has lost 2.

 

U7 Fall Soccer

B and B have had 2 games already this season! They both are playing with the same teams they played with last season. This year, they are finally old enough to play 6 vs. 6 soccer (5 players and 1 goalie). It has been nice getting to see them play as 1 team instead of being divided into 2 teams (aggressive/non-aggressive). The fields are bigger now too and B and B seem to get a little more worn out!

Football Jamboree

Brody had his Football Jamboree a couple weeks ago. The first play of the game, Brody scored a touchdown! It was a lot of fun watching his team play! Go Green Beast Packers!
