Fall is almost here!

It's my favorite time of the year. FALL! :) Ethan has started soccer. They play on a bigger field this year with goalies. It's a little more running than those kids are used to and you can tell they get tired out a lot quicker. Ethan doesn't seem to be as into soccer as he has been in the past few years, so I am not sure how much longer he will want to do it. Next fall he will be old enough to be in a flag football league, that might be something that will interest him more. So far 1st grade is going really good! He also lost one of his top front teeth.
A few weeks ago we brought a few baby hamsters home. Carson named them Buzz & Woody. Carson just loves watching them, almost every morning when he wakes up he asks us to bring them out. So far they haven't escaped and the cat doesn't really seem to care about them, which is a good thing. We have been trying to work on potty training with Carson. It's hit or miss! I know one of these days soon it will just click with him. He is so close! I am sure he will really love me for this someday, but I can't resist posting this picture of him in his cute little underwear. He was so proud....and then 5 minutes later he peed in them. Oh well. :)


Ethan is on the blue team this year.

Carson wanted to be in a picture with his big brother on his first day of school!

1st Grader!!

Ethan started 1st grade today, hard to believe! He looked so grown up this morning. I knew he was excited to start school because lastnight he came in from outside, took his shower and went to bed with no arguing! Usually we have a little resistance because he is busy playing outside with his friends. :) I am excited to see what kind of homework he will be bringing home to work on. We met his teacher and she seems really nice. I think he will have a great year!
