Yellow Dragons

Knox is LOVING soccer! He had his first game and team pictures this morning and it was a Battle of the Dragons. Our Yellow Dragons beat the Red Dragons something around 6/7 - 3. 

 Knox looks a little bit more like he "gets" the game in the photos than he actually does, but hopefully I can figure out how to share video later. And if he doesn't make it in soccer he's got a great career ahead of him as a cheerleader.  

One of the best parts was him and his teammate, Paul, on the sidelines.

Paul: "Maybe we should say Go Dragons Go."

I mentioned we should be color specific.

Knox begins jumping up and down flapping his arms: "Go Yellow Dragons, go! Go Yellow Dragons, go! Go Yellow Dragons, go....." Several enthusiastic times until Paul chimes in again, 

"Ok, this is just embarrassing."

I uploaded these in reverse order, so maybe scroll to the bottom and work your way up.

Cutest little team ever, right?

Did I mention these were taken AFTER the game? Red face, sweaty hair, dirty jersey...

She's got the idea.

 {And you can see the results of the backwards swan dive she attempted off the neighbors cement stairs last night.}

Making sure his teammate is ok. 

Seriously, guys. Sweetest boy ever. 

After his mom sprayed him with water Knox didn't hesitate to mention, "I got hurt too." So he could have spritz of his own.

"When am I gonna go in?"

FOUR continued...

The birthday boy and baby sister crashed on the way home from the beach, but Knox woke up and played Lego indiana Jones on the wii until Cailey came over with a gift for him to open. He had been asking all day when he would get to open more presents and was so excited!

The sweetest card Cailey made him! He called her "Haiwey" which we all LOVE, so she signed the card that way. And that is them holding hands.

Gram, Buelo, Uncle Aaron, and his gf Casey came over to celebrate too!

Gram and Indie were color coordinated.

I don't know what he is doing here but I like it. Maybe using the force to open his gifts?

Gram brought Buggie something too so she wouldn't swipe Knox's new Legos.

{Her rosey fever cheeks and sad eyes were so pitiful.}

Going outside for his big gift! 

Do you hear something? A bell?

He sees his bike!

{I LOVE this picture!}

"Happy Birthday to you...."

Knox and the zombie cake.

Ella and Cailey!

His superhero birthday crown.

I thought I would get a birthday picture of them together...

From his great-grandmother!

He has lately been obsessed with playing the wii. Lego Indiana Jones and now Scooby-Doo. He's learning hand-eye coordination, following directions, solving problems... right?

And poor sick Buggie was such a trooper celebrating her brother's birthday.
