Other stuff

Kason got a haircut yesterday. Daddy took him to the barber.

Mommy wasn't too happy about how short it was (or the use of the clippers) but it was still an improvement from before.

We had a great time last night at the team Holiday Dinner. Kason thought the players were pretty cool. He gave them all lots of bumps and told them all about "football" and "touchdown."

The coaching staff and families celebrated at the end of the evening. We were entertained with a musical performance by the little girls. They put on their music and sang and played instruments for us. Of course, Kason decided to put on his boogie shoes and provide the back up dancing. He danced until he was so tired he was falling down.

The rest of the kids ended up joining him. It was hilarious. I tried to video it, but my camera wasn't working too well. It is really a shame that you all can't enjoy the performance.

Thanksgiving

We had a quiet but very nice Thanksgiving. We took a little walk and wagon ride on Thanksgiving morning.We went to Richmond to our cousins for lunch. Kason spent the majority of the time standing at the back door barking at the dogs or getting a music lesson from his big cousins.

On Friday evening, Kason and Karl gathered some wood and we built a fire in the outdoor fireplace and roasted marshmallows on the patio. Kason really like the marshmallows, but was pretty impatient about the roasting part.The rest of the weekend was spent working around the house.

Touchdown

A football game was on tv yesterday afternoon. The guy ran the kickoff back for a touchdown and Kason watched him every step of the way. When he got to the endzone and celebrated, Kason turned around and looked at me and did exactly what he did and just laughed and laughed. He thought he was so funny. He now does the "touchdown dance." We thought we would share...

Trip to South Carolina

We made a short trip to South Carolina this past weekend. We had tons of fun. It was great to spend time with our friends the Calvi's and we were able to meet up with my good friend, Kelli, and her family.

We did a little shopping after breakfast on Saturday. Kason wasn't too crazy about any of the shops but luckily we had his treasured football with us to keep him happy. He did love the fountain and really wanted to get in the water. I think he would have played there all day if we would have let him.

On Saturday night, we were lucky enough to get to freeze our rears off at Taylor's soccer game! Just kidding. Although it was very cold and windy, we had a great time. It was so much fun to get to see Taylor in action. She played a great game! Kason had a ball - literally...He stole "Britney Beasley's" pink soccer ball...whoever she is. We Kason tried very hard to get in the game. Karl had to pull him off the field a million times. We felt like we were back at the beach when he made all of the trips to the water and back. It must just be something that the Calvi's bring out in him.

On Sunday, we met the Daniel's/Burress's for lunch and then headed home. It was so good to catch up. Kelli and Lance have such wonderful children and Wayne and Karyl seem to really love living in SC!

"Football!"

The word of the week has been "football." I am not exagerating when I say that he has said it no less than 1000 times. He points at the tv every time he sees a football game or someone says football and he has to say "football." He says it over and over and over. It is getting so old. Tonight he started doing "touchdown." We tried to get a video that included both. You really have to pay attention and listen closely. He immediately says "football" then does "touchdown." Maybe I can get a better one later on.

Pen Park

Kason and I spent some time at Pen Park on Saturday. He loved playing with the leaves. He got his feelings hurt because he couldn't play ball with the big kids. He had fun swinging, sliding, and having a snack. We also saw his friend Benjamin there. They had fun throwing a ball. It was a beautiful day.

Walking Update

Kason's walking skills have greatly improved. However, don't be misled. This video actually captured the best he has done. Luckily, he loves his new talent and works very hard at it - falling down at least 100 times a day!
