Saturday Sports

Started our day with a Titans soccer game.  Owen was team captain -- he picked tails and it was tails.  Great way to start the game for a 5 year old!!  LOL.  He played hard -- he scored one goal when he was playing forward and defended a few when he was sweeper.  He was hesitant and quite nervous to play today and ended up LOVING it.  So proud of him.

 kicking the ball in with all his might.

 Listening to Coach during half time.

 Owen and his best buddy at school, Jake.

 This afternoon, we had a Cubs game to watch.  Lots of hilarious plays during this game by the team.  But, all in all, a good game.  One of the most entertaining from the last couple of seasons for sure.

 Gavin went over to tell Owen "good job."  Owen loved that since Gavin has been favoring Liam recently.

 Garrison gave Owen a big ole bear hug after the game and Owen actually handed me his drink to hold so he could hug him back.  I was floored since Owen isn't usually one to hug his buddies.  Sweet friends.

Now we are watching the Aggies.  They were winning until we came home and turned on the tv.  I am tempted to turn it back off!!!

Fall Sports Started Saturday

Owen is the only Quinlan Boy playing on a team this fall and he is trying both soccer and baseball.  Liam decided instead of being on his own team, he would rather cheer for Owen at soccer and be the Bat Boy for the Cubs at baseball.  Gavin is still too young for his own team.  This keeps us plenty occupied on Saturdays -- can't imagine how busy we will be in a year or so....

Owen is playing soccer with the Titans!  First game on Saturday was quite exciting.  All the boys are new this year; but, did pretty well in their debut!  Owen is number 14 on both teams...enjoy the pictures!

Gavin cheering for his brothers during baseball!

The Bat Boy worked hard during the game!  Sweet boy ran full on to get every bat!

The too cute Bat Boy.

Owen got an award for "Defensive Player of the Week" -- he is showing off the sticker he got for his batting helmet!   The coaches will give two helmet stickers out each game and practice.  He was pumped to get one for his performance in the field yesterday!!

Here's to a busy fall, y'all!

Liam and Gavin :: First Day Back to Preschool

Last week, Liam and Gavin went back to preschool.  I snapped a few photos of the little guys...

  Gavin with his "Happy FIRSTday" gift for his teachers in the Green Room.

 Gavin carrying his gift in to the class.  He stopped to pose for a quick picture with his "buddy" Caroline ("Care-yine").

 Liam letting me take a picture of the "Happy FIRSTday" gift for his Purple Room teachers.

 Gavers jumped right in his seat and started coloring.  He was ready to get started learning.

 Liam with the cute sign one of the other mom's made.  H cute didn't want to look through it, but still pretty cute!

Both boys seem quite happy with their classes and friends and look forward to returning this week!
