Homecoming 2023- Ella's Senior Year!

Last weekend Ella went to her last Atascocita high school Homecoming. She went with a big group of her friends and had a great time. They went and took pictures, then went to dinner at Nara Thai, then to the dance, then to the Wharton's house for a pool party. 

The gals!
The guys!
I'm grateful she has such a fun group of friends who she enjoys being with and who are such good kids. 
Sadly, Cavin would not go with the groups he was invited with as he did not want to go. He did have fun at an after party he decided to go to though. Hopefully he will go next year. 

Music Time!

Ella and Cavin had their first concerts. Ella had a choir concert and they both had an orchestra concert. 

I love my cello kids!
Cavin is in the Symphonic orchestra, which is the second highest. 
Ella plays in the top orchestra, Chamber. 
I love when they play and will miss their concerts together. 

Ragnar is 46!

Last week Ragnar turned 46!! We went with some friends to do a pickle ball and pizza night as couples and had a lot of fun. His actual birthday was low key as it was a Monday, but we went to Salt Grass for lunch together and tried to celebrate. He got a high fever that night and didn't feel well, so not much fun for a birthday!

He loves chocolate chip bundt cake, so we celebrated with cake and ice cream. 
The kids love to decorate the house for him. 
We also did a celebration with my parents over conference weekend and my mom made him a yummy cookies and cream ice cream cake. 
We are so grateful to have Ragnar in our life. We hope and pray that we have many more years with our favorite guy!

Soccer Season Has Begun!

The much anticipated soccer season for Deacon has begun. This is the first year in a long time where just Deacon is playing in the Heatwave organization. Ragnar is coaching his team and he is so excited. They are the Teal Titans. He has moved up and is now playing U12, so he has to step it up! A little more than half of the players on his team he has been with for 4 years, but instead of Wes coaching, Ragnar has taken over. They are 4 games into the season now and have already won each game by a good margin. Last week Deacon scored 4 of the 5 goals and had a great game. He has a lot of skill, but he sometimes lacks aggression. Since the kids he plays against are 3 years older, sometimes he gets intimidated and doesn't run and fight for the ball as aggressively as he could, but he is a great player, continues to improve and we love to watch him play!

We were missing 1 boy. 
Soccer dreams coming true!
Goal!!
Our cute lefty!
I hope he continues to love playing and gets better and better.
