Soccer Season

Collin had his first day of soccer on Saturday. He didn't enjoy it too much last year and was a little apprehensive about going this year. We signed him up at the YMCA (the same place where he had his sports camp) so we convinced him to go try it out. He LOVED it! He got his new shirt, found his team, and started practicing. The first 1/2 hour was spent doing skills and the last 1/2 hour was spent playing a game. He scored the only goal and the look on his face was priceless when everyone started cheering for him. He made a new friend and asked if he could come back again next week.

The age group is 3-5 years old, but he is by far the tallest.


*Warning! Bragging mother!
The league director asked me if I wanted to move him up to the 6-8 year old group. I nicely declined; he still needs to learn how to play the game.

Watch out Beckham!

Daddy helped coach.


He likes to be the goalie.

Hunter

Some people have requested more pictures of Hunter because they are baffled by his size. As a side note, he is definitely my smallest baby. Here you go folks!

He loves to bounce himself with his right leg. He can really get himself going!

Swimming Lessons!

Carter recently finished his first ever swimming lessons. We're members of the local YMCA and I was able to put Collin and Hunter in Childwatch so I could do the lessons with him. I really enjoyed the one-on-one time. The first day he was very brave and did everything, including going under the water, then we had a couple of noncompliant days. By the last few days he was back to his normal self and really liked swimming. He loves walking up and down the pool stairs. We did the lessons with some friends of ours from the ward which always makes things more fun!

First Day of School

Collin's first day of 4's preschool was on the 5th. He was very excited to say the least. His teachers said he did great and he made instant friends.

He's growing up too fast!

Carter wanted to be a part of the big day.

Sleepy Boy

I've mentioned that Collin no longer takes a nap, but he really does need one. He can be quite grumpy in the afternoons and ends up in time-out often. A few days ago he had a bloody periodically throughout the day. Well, around 3 p.m. his nose started to bleed again so I gave him a tissue and told him to hold still. He wanted to run around, but I told him he needed to be patient and sit down with the tissue held up against his nose. After a few minutes this is what I saw:

He was fast asleep. And he doesn't think he needs a nap!
