Coneball party

After the race we had Cade and Chance’s coneball party. It was a hit as always. Had about 35 kids there. They played an intense battle that ended with a 14-15 score. Winning team got cake and ice cream first.....😂.....they all enjoyed lots of food, games, and fun! 

Race for Hope!

Yesterday was a busy but great day!! We started out the day running a 5K. The boys and I all ran the race together. I loved having them run it with me. Cade and I won first in our age groups, Chance won second, and Coop finished still running!! They were all in the 10-19 age group and there were several in that group. So proud of all of them. It was a beautiful day and the race raised around $6000 to feed needy children in our county. Wow!! 

Happy 16th birthday Cade!

Facebook post:  How is it possible? I blinked and somehow this guy turned 16!! He’s an amazing kid and I’m so proud to be his mom. He brings so much joy (and sometimes frustration....I mean he IS 16 😂) to our lives. Wouldn’t trade him for anything! Happy 16th Cade!!

He had a great day besides freezing at soccer practice! It was not a great day for being outdoors. He got ice cream tonight after church. He started his day off with a breakfast fruit pizza. His new shoes came in the mail. It was a good day! 

Red Robin Rocks

The guys and the Deffenbaughs exchanged Christmas gifts and realized they’d gotten each other the same thing......Red Robin gift cards! Tonight they all went out to enjoy their meal. The boys love the bottomless fries and bottomless root beer floats! Chad enjoyed a bottomless cream soda. They all left stuffed! It was a good time for everyone. 

New Years Birthday!

We made it to another year! Year 2020!! That means Chance has also made it to another birthday! Can’t believe how fast these 14 years have gone by. Such a great kid. So happy to celebrate him as we start a new year. We love you Chance!  We spent New Year’s Eve with salad, homemade pizza, playing games, and watching Netflix. Ate an early birthday lunch at China King yesterday as well. Afraid they’d be closed for New Year’s Day. Had a big birthday breakfast to start out the New Year.  He got a poster with some basketball pictures on it. 

Christmas Day

Don’t have many pictures from Christmas morning but the boys had a great day. They all got new sports attire. There were legos, Xbox games, controllers, Rubix cubes, etc. Chance got a hoverboard and Cade got a CAR!!! Well he was handed down Chad’s car but still very exciting for him. He turns 16 soon so he’ll be ready to burn up the roads 😉. 

Christmas Time

The boys spent Christmas Eve sleeping late and waking up to a brunch of pancakes, sausage and omelets. Cooper and I made coffee filter snowflakes for the tree. We baked and decorated cookies. After the cookie decorating contest we opened presents. They got some new games, socks, shorts, playing cards with their favorite teams on them, and plenty of goodies in their stockings.
