Half Birthday

Sunday night, the 19th, Braden had some friends over for his belated birthday party. (He delayed is January party so that he and friends could go swimming.) Sunday night we took the boys to a pond party the youth at our church were having. It was really chilly that weekend (think long sleeves and pants) but a bunch of them still went swimming. This included Braden's group. They swam and did flips off the diving board for several hours. Then they stayed up until who really knows when! They got up around 8-9am Monday morning. Had breakfast. Went outside and played wiffle ball. Came in for lunch and cake. Got changed. Went swimming at the Celina pool for 3+ hours. Everyone got picked up. Braden showered, ate dinner, and then slept for 13.5 hours!
Here are a few pictures I took of the boys Monday morning.

Braden moved from his sleeping bag on the floor to the couch. Matt, with wild hair, looking through his cards while Nick still slept. (Poor Nick was woken up by the other guys and had to go straight to football after swimming on Monday! -- He is the only one out of these 4 that is playing tackle football this year.)

Jared, not quite awake yet, and Matt.

why is braden not playing tackle?

Because he is over the weight limit to carry/touch the football. All he can do is block, which he finds boring. So he's gonna play flag until Jr. High ball, I guess.
