Birthday Party

Finally, pictures from Jameson's birthday party!  We had a John Deere tractor themed party with lots of green and yellow.  One notable exception was Evelyn's birthday cake.  Evelyn and Jameson's birthdays are only two weeks apart, but we made the decision to just have one party for Jameson.


But we also didn't want Evelyn to feel left out, so she got a Frozen cupcake and everyone sang happy birthday to her too.


Grandpa and Jameson in their matching John Deere shirts.

Smash cake!  Jameson got his own little cake from the leftover cupcake batter.


First taste of ice cream; of course Grandpa gave him chocolate.


Evelyn's friends enjoying some cupcakes and ice cream too.


Our party game was pin the wheel on the tractor.  The younger kids got the hang of it right away even if they didn't know where the wheel was supposed to go.


The big kids liked the game too.  Only Evelyn wanted to wear the bandanna and try to place the wheel blindfolded. 


Jameson got lots of new toys, books, and clothes at his party.  It was a fun party, but parties are a lot of work.  I've already made the decision to just have something simple next year for birthdays 2 and 4.

City champs

 Cross country season is officially over. Last night was city finals and Blackhawk girls finished first. We took 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th and 10th place. Evelyn ran 14:56, so about 10 seconds off her PR.  She was 32nd overall out of 64 girls.  Her place counted for her team which she was happy about. The boys did good too and finished in second place overall.

Last weekend

 Last weekend was a busy one. I had the Fort4Fitness, Evelyn had a cross country invitational in Huntington and Jameson had two soccer games in Middlebury. All on Saturday! Friday I spent all afternoon at the F4F expo. The weather was lovely so that was nice. When it was busy, the time passed quickly. When it was slow, there were still enough people that I wasn’t totally bored.  Evelyn had a great run and PR’ed with at time of 14:40.  It was an early morning for them as she had to be at the meet by 8:40. But that was better for us since Jameson’s games were into the afternoon.  I had a decent half marathon. I ran 2:10:30 which is slower than I’d like but I’ve also been dealing with a nagging right knee problem. So I honestly was thankful I could run and run the race without much discomfort.  I was fast enough to get home, shower and eat lunch before we left for soccer. Jameson’s team won the first game 0-1 and tied the second 1-1. He scored both the goals. ...

Futsal

 It’s futsal season. Jameson had his first game tonight. It’s all just intra club fun meant to help the players develop and practice over the winter. Parents only have to help during games with subbing but we also got Evelyn to help run the scoreboard.
