Spring Soccer

 So, the Youngs get to experience recreational soccer this spring.  Tyler really wanted to try soccer and Jaxson was asked to join a team with two of his primary friends.  So far they both love it! The picture above and below are of Tyler during his first game.

 Here's our Jaxson above and below.  He had so much fun even though he didn't know what to do.  They play three on three in this league and only three players on Jaxson's team showed up (there are only 5 total, they keep the teams really small) so he played the whole game.  The other two players were really good and kept scoring so our team won, and that made Jaxson really happy!

Here's our new (well, new to us) car.  It is a Honda Accord.  So far we really like it.  Although I think Guard is going through truck withdrawals.

A Not So Sweet Valentine's Day

 No, this picture was not taken upside down.  That's Guard's truck early Valentine's Day morning after he rolled it on his way to early morning practice.  He hit some black ice and he rolled over the guard rail in the median.  He was very lucky that he didn't get hurt and no one else was involved in the accident.  It was sad for him to find out that it was totaled and he had to look for a new car.  We'll post pictures when we buy a new car.

 Here's our Valentine Cutie!  Aunt Amy sent her this cute outfit!  She spoils her Oklahoma niece and nephews and they LOVE it!

This is what happens when dad is in charge!  I had to be at the church all day Saturday to decorate and chapperone the youth winter formal dance.  Tyler is all about fun!

Snow Day?

 On February 13 we woke up to an inch of snow on the ground.  The kids were so excited but school wasn't canceled.  They had to wait until after school to play in it and by then half of it had melted. But that didn't stop the Youngs from having some fun!  Is that a snow angel or a dirt angel?

 Of course, Hadley found the big puddle of water to stomp in!

 Thanks for the hats Aunt Afton!  She made hats for all three kids and they are perfect.  Tyler is showing off the beard that can be buttoned on his and Jaxson's hats.

 Hadley had so much fun!  I thought she wouldn't like the cold but she didn't mind it at all.

Hadley wanted to try on Tyler's glasses.  Too funny!

January at the Young home

 The pajamas Grandma Tolman got Hadley for Christmas make her look so grown up!  They are still a little bit big, but I love how cute they are!

 Tyler got straight As last quarter on his report card and was honored at a school assembly.  They give out dog tags that say, "Roosevelt Scholar" to put on their backpacks.  This is his second time making honor roll.  It was a lot of work on Tyler's part and we are so proud of him!  I was a little bit late taking the picture up top so you just see him walking away after receiving his dog tag.  The picture below shows his dog tag up close.

Hadley loves wearing these wolf ears that we got at the Great Wolf Lodge.  She just walks around the house with them on her head.  She even wore them to Target one time.  By the way, that is a piece of cheese hanging out of her mouth.  She could be a little mouse!

Fun at the Gym

 Sorry this one is blurry, but these were all taken on my phone.  Hadley loves being pushed around in this dump truck.  If no one will push her then she pushes it all over the gym.

 Here's Jaxson swinging on the high bar!

 Pull ups!

Here's Hadley in the pit.



The Great Wolf Lodge

The day after Christmas we went to The Great Wolf Lodge in Grapevine TX for two days.  It is a huge family resort with an indoor waterpark.  We had a blast!  I wanted to get pictures of the waterpark area, but I was afraid the camera would get stolen while we were in the water. So you won't see the water area, but the rest of the hotel was so nice.

 The hotel holds a storytime show for all the kids at 8:00 pm and it snowed in the lobby during the show, Tyler collected some of the snow on his head. 

Here's where Jax and Ty slept.  They made their room look like a cabin. 

The boys thought that was so cool!
