Radley had a rough start to his flag football season with a broker finger. He had to play every game with a big brace on his hand. It made it difficult to catch, throw, and grab flags. He did amazing considering his situation. He played hard and aggressive (with a little too much emotion at times), but he tried his hardest no matter what. He played against a super competitive team that was coached by some varsity football players and with the refs being JV players, it made some of the calls a little unfair. Overall, I think he was glad he played, but as always, it was a learning opportunity.
We knew it had taken us too long to teach Mackenzie to ride a bike. We didn't think it was take long, but 1 day even surprised us!! She caught on really fast and was so insistant to learn. She was concentrating really hard and it worked! She was amazing to watch. She only fell a couple times and always got right back up. She was better at it than the boys.
Day 1 and she almost had it right away!
Not even 20 minutes later and she pretty much had it down!!
Bentley was convinced she couldn't ride anymore, she realized quickly that was not the case.
I'm not sure who picked the song, Dad or the girls, but either way I'm not surprised. They begged every day for weeks to go ride bikes!!
The girls of course wanted to do cheer camp this year and had a great time! Mackenzie knew all the cheer and did a great job with the dance as well. Bentley is a great cheerleader! She helped Mackenzie to practice and knew all the words and motions too. She knew the dance really well also.
College readiness day (love those socks, haha)
Bentley seems to be the only kid that wears BYU shirts, just like Radley.
Rocket Friday
Open House all three campuses
Lining up to go on the field
She sure can shake it!!
I love that they are trying to do it the right way!
Within 1 week of Kyler's surgery all 3 of the boys had some pretty serious injuries. Kyler obviously was recovering from surgery. Radley broke a finger. Damon had a major crash on his bike and had some bad road rash along the right side of his body.
We stopped by the pharmacy by the park to pick up all Kyler's medicine right when we pulled into town, and Radley was having flag football practice so Kenney went to help coach. Unfortunately, Radley broke his pinky catching a pass not even one hour after we got back!!! His coach was throwing a pass, and Radley put his hands up in a really awkward position to catch the ball and broke his finger. Kenney took Radley a few days later to Kevin's office to get some x-rays because the finger was still swollen and very tender. Sure enough, Kenney could see a break! Radley was in a brace for 6 weeks while it healed and during his entire flag football season.
Damon came home for lunch one day and I could tell immediately something happened. I walked into the bathroom to find some serious skin abrasions along his leg, hip, and arm. It was really painful to clean and really rough to play football with. We wrapped him up pretty good that day and had to keep wrapping him for football for another 3 weeks. He cleaned us out of bandaids really quick!
See that swollen detached part on the top right side? That's the broken part.
That's one fat pinky
This didn't last long
This was Radley's friend for 6 weeks
All 3 found ways to still get ALL of their screen time!
