Is it really bragging?

My kids are just amazing and if I say that and give examples is it really bragging? I think not!

First my super football star...Koby is playing flag football again this year. He is so great. He loves to dart past the defensive line and steal the flag from anyone who has the ball. His speed has improved so much since just last year and his endurance too-I think we can attribute that to him running a mile everyday for school. During Koby's last game he played almost the entire time and did great-they won 13-0. I have noticed that when Koby is on defense he is always stuck guarding the biggest, heaviest kid but he just keeps bumping them which gives the QB time to pass or run. Look at his pictures to be reminded of just how skinny he is!

Morgan can now write her name! We have been working on writing it for about a week now and she can do most of it by herself. She does call the G, "the one with a long tail", but hey atleast we know what she means. The other night Steve and I were upstairs in our room talking and Morgan came in too. I had asked her to do something and Steve said after that you can make me a sandwich for my lunch. HAHA right? Well about an hour later Steve asked me whose sandwich is this sitting on the counter? I went in and looked and we both remembered him asking Morgan to make it for him. She used three pieces of bread-two on one side and folded a piece of meat in half and stuck it between the bread. It was so funny! What an obedient daughter.

For some reason Koby has really been obsessed with his hair-he wanted it long and it was getting to the point where it was in his eyes and poking into his ears. I picked him up yesterday after work and told him that he needed to prepare himself because he was getting a haircut. I understand about letting him have some freedom to choose but school pictures are next week and this weekend we are going into the canyon to take pictures too. We talked to the lady that cut his hair and explained our dilemna-I like his hair short, he likes it long and we needed a compromise. I was okay with any length as long as it didn't look so shaggy. She actually cut it much shorter than I even intended but Koby actually likes it and so we didn't end up fighting like I figured we would. Whew...just so much drama over hair!!!

I have been in a crafty mood lately, I have made a few things for Christmas already. I can't even post pictures of most of it because I am planning to give them to some of the people who read my blog. It is driving Steve crazy because he just thinks it is way too early to think about the holidays, and yet I am the opposite and I want to plan ahead and get things done so I can enjoy the holidays. Oh well we have had several Christmas' together and we are still speaking so it must turn out ok in the end! =)

It's ok to brag about your kids from time to time! I also think they are pretty cute. Sounds like Koby is quite the football player. That's cute that Morgan made a sandwich. Jacob and I are the same about holidays-I like to plan early. I guess he also likes to plan ahead, but his idea of that is like the week before Thanksgiving at the earliest. After Christmas you'll have to post pictures of what you made!
