Soccer 4 Kobe??

Kobe, my big boy, started soccer this spring.  It's adorable - he's with 4/5 year olds learning the basics and even playing a few games (if they remember to go the right direction, and don't get too distracted when the trains go by).  It's totally hilarious to watch, and so cute in their uniforms!  Daddy even got hooked into helping coach!  Oh, and get this - there is another Kobe on his team of 9 kids - that's crazy - we've never met another Kobe!  Brennan and I can't wait to go to the next practice/game!

Home depot

Kobe and daddy have started doing the Home Depot projects every first saturday of the month.  It's a great thing home depot does.  They get an apron and then a pin for each project they complete.  So far they've made a race track w/cars and a bird house that hangs on the window and has a clear back so you can see the bird in it.  As you can tell Kobe loves it (doing anything with daddy)!

Real Bird nest

Yes, it's true - we have a real birds nest under our deck this year - it's been fun to watch the 3 blue eggs turn into 3 baby birds, and the mommy constantly bringing worms to the nest, and getting upset about us being outside (especially when we had a bonfire).  Kobe insists there are 4 eggs, it's hard to see between the deck boards!  God has made some amazing creatures!

Bird nests

Kobe and Brennan have really been into imaginative play lately - Kobe always has them playing something different, usually something that he's experienced lately (bird nests, baby jesus, crop farming).  Brennan loves it, and Kobe loves having his "buddy" to play with.  He often asks when his buddy is going to wake up (brennan loves his sleep - he sleeps in until 8:30 usually and then takes a 3 hr nap!).  It's so wonderful that they love playing together.

Early Bday present

Kobe got an early birthday present from daddy.  Daddy couldn't wait to give him his new "real" golf clubs.  No more plastic ones!  Daddy even took him to the golf course to do the practice putting green.  Kobe had a blast.  (so did daddy!)

First Young Family BonFire

Yes, we finally got a fire pit so we can have bonfires, that we've wanted since we moved here, we missed our firepit in Red Wing.  Last night was perfect, it was chilly enough you wanted to sit by the fire.  The boys enjoyed their bedtime snack out on their little picnic table by the fire - mommy's homemade double chocolate chip cookies and koolaid (what a combo).  It was a fun Young family event and a great weekend!

Kobe Swimming lessons

Kobe has started his first swimming lessons this spring on saturday mornings.  He's having fun playing "motor boat", "red light green light", and practicing swimming on his back and tummy.  Yesterday he got to ride in a canoe in the pool - it was so cute, they all got to wear life jackets - what a great experience!
