Deja Vu?

Spring soccer has started and we are excited for another great season. A few things look awfully familiar...uniforms are bright green again (albeit, a different shade) and Braden has all the same teammates and coaches as he did during the fall season. Last season, the boys struggled to agree on a team name, so they ended up being the Green Lantern Rattlesnakes. This season? The Green Dragons...although none of us can keep it straight, so we just remember to root for green!



Braden and Carter always find time to crack up on the field...

a lot!
Braden may be a Green Dragon, but Matt's mascot was a bulldog when he played high school soccer. Enzo could barely squeeze his fat body into Braden's old Silver Knights uniform. Braden was so excited to have a furry cheerleader on the sidelines.


He sure loves his dogs!

Enzo huffed and puffed as if he had played a game of soccer!

All that cheering is exhausting!

Braden and Carter both scored, so they were congratulating each other and planning their next moves.

Just doing a little victory run after scoring!

This is the 'oh shoot I got caught' look...

With a huge rivalry at hand, Braden displayed his muscles before a game against Cornell's team. Unfortunately, the red face and bulging veins wasn't quite enough to scare off the Angry Birds. The Green Dragons are eager to play them again and get a victory though!

After being aggressive with each other on the field, these buddies chuckled together after the game...# 5s stick together!

It's great to see their competitive sides during a game, but even nicer to see their adorable smiles afterwards!

It was tough for these goofy boys to stay adorable for long though!

Birthday Blowout

What do you get when you combine boot camp, guns and camo? The makings for an awesome birthday party, of course! Throw in some pizza and cake, and it's a perfect way to celebrate Cornell's 6th birthday!



The perfect Halloween costume is one that is worn two years in a row and then to a birthday party too!

The bean bag race was entertaining to watch!
Braden skipped over the tricycle stage, so riding one on wet grass was probably a bit challenging!

He raced through the tires with ease though!

Braden attempted to toss the grenade gently at first, but quickly discovered that it's more fun to toss a water balloon so that it breaks on his partner!

Ready for war!

Braden and the birthday boy were getting seriously ready for action.


Watching the kids running all over the field firing at each other was hilarious. They could have done it for hours!

Once Braden found out his buddy got shot in the eye, he went after the suspect with gusto....and lots of yelling!
