World Cup 2014

We are having so much fun watching the World Cup this year. Of course we are cheering for USA, but we've also been cheering on the Colombian team. 

About a week ago, Nana delivered Michael a Colombian soccer jersey that a friend of hers had bought for him. We were so surprised and grateful! So Ford and I put on our jerseys that we had bought while in Colombia and snapped these pics. 

 

While we are sad that USA is out, we will be cheering on Colombia on Friday as they take on powerhouse Brazil. This is the first time Colombia has made the final 8 in history, so team spirit is high! Go Colombia!

First Fishing Trip

Ford took Michael fishing today for the first time. He bought him his own fishing pole, and he caught 4 fish!

Naboo

Our Naboo has come a long way. He's never been fond of children, so Ford and I were a little worried that our grumpy ole cat wouldn't take to Michael too well. Boy, were we wrong! From the moment we walked in the door from Colombia, Naboo seemed to accept him. It was as if he knew that Michael was supposed to be there all along. My parents always said animals just know things. They are smart. :)

Here's our grumpy ole Naboo with Michael this morning. 

Haircut!

Michael has had many haircuts, but this one was special! Momma did it! It may have been more traumatic for me than him, but it was a success! :)

Michael's Referral Picture

Last week before school, Michael noticed his picture on the mantle and asked to hold it. This was Michael's referral picture - the first time we laid our eyes on his big, beautiful, brown ones a little over two years ago.

 

Time flies!

Our little cowboy

One day last week, Michael and I were in the car going to school and Tobey Keith's "Should've Been A Cowboy" came on the radio from a cd that Ford made him with some fun songs. Michael immediately said "My cowboy hat!" and grabbed his hat and put it on. I think it's a given he will start stealing the young girls' hearts just like Gene and Roy. He has mine. 

Watertown

Michael and I took an afternoon this week to meet Nina and her boys at Shreveport's waterpark, Watertown. Michael loved the wave pool!

And he was a little dare devil on the slides! It was a wonderful day!
