Evan's First Soocer Game

Evan had his first soccer game today. He did some things really well. (He cheered for his teammates and even made a goal!) He did get upset and pout when things did not go well and even tried to push a few kids on the opposing team. (Maybe we should have signed him up for football?!?) Thankfully, today was just a practice game. We have one more practice before the next game, so we have lots of time to work on sportsmanship and making good choices. All in all, it was a pretty good first game. (The other kids did some of the same things Evan did, so I am not TOO worried!)

Evan was SO happy at his first soccer game!

Evan and Caleb are best buddies AND teammates! Go Team United!

I love these action shots of Evan! He was SO into the game!

First Solid Food

I have been waiting for Preston to feel better before I tried giving him rice cereal for the first time. He just can't seem to get over his cold and since he is still really happy, I finally decided to let him try the cereal. I wouldn't say that Preston has the hang of eating sold foods from a spoon yet, but he did manage to eat a few bites and seemed pretty happy. I am excited to continue working with him on his new eating skills and to let him try some new foods too! (Evan was such a good helper when I wanted to feed Preston. He was very encouraging AND he helped me take pictures! He is so sweet!)

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day weekend was interesting this year. We started off the weekend by going to the pool on Friday night, which was lots of fun. On Saturday Brooke came by to visit the boys while she was in town for the weekend. Preston slept through Brooke's visit, but Evan was THRILLED to see her and spent over two hours playing with Brooke. We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening inside due to the rain, but had lots of fun playing in the bouncer and watching movies.

The U of L vs. UK game was on Sunday. We try to go the game each year, but we could not make it this year because Carl's foot was still healing. We made plans to watch the game at home and we had a really great time. Evan watched a lot of the game with us. He cheered for U of L and was SO happy that they won! Preston slept for most of the game, but did wake up in time to see our U of L Cardinals win! GO CARDS!

On Sunday we went to Harmony Landing Country Club with The Williams Family. Evan had lots of fun playing with Carl and Clara. There was a high dive at the pool and Evan decided early on that it looked like fun. He was not afraid of the high dive AT ALL. We actually had to convince him to do easy jumps! After the pool we went to eat at a Mexican restaurant in La Grange and then headed home for fireworks. (They cancelled the fireworks on July 4th due to the dry conditions, but rescheduled them for Labor Day.) Preston was tired and I stayed home with him, but Carl, Evan, and The Williams Family enjoyed the fireworks.

Evan had fun on our last night at our pool. (The stormy weather kept us from going back again on Saturday or Sunday.)

My Little U of L Fans

Preston had fun at the pool at Harmony Landing.

Evan had lots of fun going off of the high dive! Way to go Evan!

First Day of Preschool 2012

WOW! Evan is now in 4 year old preschool! He has had a great time at Middletown United Methodist Preschool for the past two years and now he is in his last year of preschool. (I can't believe he will be in kindergarten next year!) Evan has Mrs. Arbough for his teacher again this year. Mrs. Jackson is the assistant teacher and Evan loves them both SO much! He is having a great time and he is so happy. I am so grateful that he is having such a good school experience and I hope that he continues to have a great year!

Evan's 1st Day Pictures

Evan insisted on standing by his sunflower that he grew from seed at the end of his 3 year old preschool year. (He was SO proud of his sunflower!)

"I am SO happy to be going to school!"

"It's my first day of 4 year old preschool!"
