Laytons Soccer Game

On Saturday we watched Layton play in his first socer game. It was a blast to watch. He was so happy to be running on the field. He did awesome he scored 4 goals for his team. It proabably helped that he was the only player on his team that wanted to on the field the whole time. There were times when they only has 2 players because the others were getting too tired. Layton however didi not want to leave the field. they took a water break and I tried to get him to come drink some water but he just wanted to be on the field.
Sydney also had a game simutaneously and so Tyler and I would switch off between games so we could watch them both. Sydney is really improving and has a lot of fun. She's a little more timid than Layton but is really good at running fast and helping out her team and she really is happy to be out there playing. I am so proud of both of them!

Jet Ride and Princess Ball

Last Friday Tyler got an incentive ride in the T-38. It is the jet that the fighter pilots fly while in pilot training before they go off to fly even faster jets like the F-16. He was excited and nervous to go. Aside from throwing up 7 times and feeling sick and for hours after, he said it was an awesome experience. He flew with our pilot friend Rob Shallenberger and had another friend Matt fly another person so they did formation flying I guess it is called. Tlyer said that was really cool to look out the window and see the plane and the people sitting in it right next to you. He said it was amazing how good they are at what they do as they would signal to each other certain moves to make. For which I am grateful so he could come back in one piece. Now if only I could get up in a jet! That evening Tyler and Sydney went to the Princess Ball. It is a Daddy daughter evening out they put on at the local childrens museum. Sydney had the time of her life with Dad. She got to dress up, put on make-up, dance with her Dad all night, and eat good food. After hearing about it all I thought next time I want to go!! Really it was so much fun to see her excitement for this and how happy she was to go on a date with Dad!!
