Dolphin's Christmas Party

The Dolphin's Christmas party was in the practice bubble this year...it was totally cool. The bubble is an indoor, full-sized football field complete with the logos and end zones painted. There was a carousel, a bowling area, yummy, yummy food, pictures with Santa, a lot of players were there (but they aren't as noticeable as one would think) and of course footballs to throw around and score touchdowns on the field. It was a really fun night, they definitely know how to throw a party.

Ward Christmas Party

Our ward's Christmas party was 'A Night in Bethlehem" and I'm on the activities committee (and and advisor in YW...no big deal) and Matt was in the Choir, so we all had to dress up, actually my mom was surprised that our whole, entire ward dressed up...it was pretty cool to see everyone in their costumes, it made the night seem more authentic. But notice the family photo...Dolphin colors anyone?

Karate

Trey started Karate back on October and he is really good. The kid strikes and shouts with force unfamiliar in the four year old realm. Trey's Sensei (the kids call him Karate Man) just loves him, Trey often gets the award for best student in the class. (I wish Trey would be as compliant for me as he is for Karate Man.) Trey graduated to a yellow belt in about 6 weeks, very impressive! We all like karate, it's good, except when it's used on the little brother...we're working on that one. Hi-yah!

Halloween 2009

Well, our little camera man (a.k.a Trey) has deleted all of our photos from October and November, so we're left with only a few pix that our friends emailed to us. Here are the boys at a Halloween party.

The boys' newest obsession...Batman and Robin

It's too bad that our pix and movies got erased from our camera because Breton was too cute trick or treating. Of course Trey was first up to every door, but Breton followed right behind and all the neighbors just loved our two little superheroes. Breton loves to shout, "Batman to the rescue!"

Flag Football

This was Trey's first flag football practice and of course Breton wanted to be like the big boys and play football too.

Trey at his first practice and he's loving every minute of it. I think he looks like a little Matt.

Here is a video below of the boys warming up before Trey's first game. The ref asked if Breton was playing...duh, he's only a foot and half shorter than the other kids and it's completely obvious that he's not the same age, what was he thinking? Breton was pretty upset when he had to take his flags off, he's sad he's not on the team.

The second video is Trey's first run of his football career. What was the outcome you may ask? Yep, you guessed it...a touchdown! Was there ever any doubt?

First Day of School

This is Trey on his first day of school. He's really liking it, well most of the time. He's still struggling with school being EVERY day. But since he gets to do Karate at school, he's thrilled to go every Tuesday!

We can't leave out Breton; whatever big brother does, so does little brother. This is Breton on Trey's first day of school.

Night at Nova

Our friends invited us to a back to school BBQ at the medical school a few weeks ago. We fit in just fine with all the other young LDS students with kids, so no one questioned our attendance. They had this awesome blow-up maze thing and filled it with bubbles for the kids to run around in, oh they also supplied them with squirt guns. Needless to say, Trey loved it!

I must admit that I'm a lame mom; this was our first stop at the BBQ. Duh! As we did the other activities Trey was still wet as I had forgotten to bring a towel. Oh well. Breton didn't venture in the maze since the bubbles were taller than him in most places.

This is as far as Trey got. When the guy went to hook up the other side of the bungies, Trey totally freaked out and didn't want to do it anymore. I'm surprised he actually got up there at all. We'll just say that Trey is our cautious child. Well after looking at that guy, he does seem a little creepy, that may have scared Trey too.
