Fall Soccer 2009

We had a great season. Hayden loves playing soccer. He definately has athletic ability when it comes to sports. We are so proud of him! He never stops for breaks and his coach even recommends that he advance to the 7-8 year old team. He loves the game and never complains about the temperature. Most of the games were outdoors and the temp varied between 35-60 degrees. Last weekend was the only game we played indoors because the temp was 20 degrees. It was so cold.

Ian plays when he feels like it. He is so independent that he makes the final decision. When he plays he kicks butt. He is so fast and determined to make "a hundred" goals as he would say. I love this boy! He is so full of energy and he really is good when he wants to be.

Fun Times

Ian loves playing with daddy's bass quitar.

Tiger Day

Tiger Day is a day where Tiger Cubs can complete some electives to earn their Tiger badge. They learned how to mix primary colors to make other colors. They learned some magic tricks, tiger hand puppets and made music instruments. Hayden had so much fun riding the cubmobile. He is already planning how he wants to build his own for next season.

Snow in September

Yesterday was the last day of summer and the first day of winter here in Colorado. We had low tempts in the 30's and 40's and snow off and on all day. Here is a picture I took this morning at 6:30am. Since last winter was quite mild we are anxious for a good winter.

Our Tiger Cub

We went to Back to School Night last month and Hayden spotted the Cub Scouts table and asked me if he could "volunteer". It was the sweetest thing! We now have a Tiger Cub for the Boy Scouts of America. He is so proud! We had our first popcorn fundraiser today in front of Lowe's. I can hardly believe how mature my little man has become. He spoke to every person who came by and he said "Thank You" to everyone whether they bought or not.

A New Addition to the DaCosta Family

Our new family pet is a six week old bunny named Thumper. Ian loves her so much and he is so gentle. He wants to hold her all day. She is so adorable and loves attention.

Sky Sox Baseball

The Colorado Springs Sky Sox Baseball game was so much fun! Our first trip to a Minor League Baseball game and my only thought was why haven't we done this sooner. I am not one to watch any kind of sports on TV, but going to a game is a real treat. We sat in the lower level between 3rd and home base. Hayden danced to every song and entertained the whole section with his stellar moves. We cheered for the Sky Sox as loud as possible.
Salt Lake Bees beat Sky Sox 7-4.
