New Shoes--New Cleats--New School year!

New school year means new shoes...at least for Makai.  He was the only one who needed new shoes this year.  We found him the perfect pair...easy to get on making the morning a little nicer.  I can't believe he wears a size 9 in mens as a 9 yr old boy! 

We also got him and Trey cleats as we signed them up for flag football.  We'll see how the season goes.  Football rules this time of year with Kory playing freshman ball, Kyle playing Varsity and some JV games, and now Trey and Makai playing.  Practice is everyday for the older boys, but only once a week for the younger boys with games on Saturday.  Thankful for the YMCA for having Saturday games!! 

Football here we come!

Makai is also starting the 4th grade.  I think this will be a good year for him.  His teacher has him front and center!  A perfect seat for him.  His teacher seems like a perfect fit for him.  He's about her same size height wise and probably outweighs her by 40 lbs, but she seems to really want to help him be successful.  We are thankful for her. 

I should have gotten a picture of Kory at his new school, but haven't yet.  He spent all summer there doing football and even taking a summer school class, so it didn't seem like his first day of school, but he is in high school now.  The first day of school I took him to get Sonic to get a breakfast burrito because he got up early for Kyle's football practice.  We had a nice hour and a half long talk in the car while we waited for Kyle to be done and his school to start.  We watched the moon set and the sun rise.  It was a fun morning.  Can't believe he's in High School!  While in the car he talked about how this was the first year in 4 years I wouldn't be a his school.  I was pretty lucky to work at his school for 4 years in a row.  He helped me see how special that was.  He's going to rock high school.  Kyle is a junior, but he couldn't care less.  All he cares about is that football is back in season!  Him and Kory are enjoying some bonding.  And Trey is starting 7th grade.  It's his first time alone at a school without a brother, but his second hear in middle school, so he's got this.  He knows the ropes this year.  The boys are growing up so fast!!
