Major Phone Dump

I was looking through pictures on my phone and there are A LOT!  So, here they are :)!

These 2 were up too early one morning this week.  And they were happy about it :).
Just a little cuddling with Minnie (or maybe some wrestling).

Atley, always flipping over to her belly!

Soccer Part 2

The kids had their last week of soccer on Monday.  They loved it and had so much fun each week!  I finally remembered to bring my big camera to get a few better pictures.
Nora's class is first...
They start off carrying the ball while they run :)
Now she gets to kick it!
And now it's scrimmage time.  She was excited about the orange jersey.
Look at her go!  She scored a goal!!
Getting a little guidance from the coach.
Final huddle!
Cutest soccer players I've ever seen!
It's Ethan's turn now... I asked him afterwards what his favorite sport was and he said, "soccer, baseball and basketball.  All of them."  
He has really learned a lot!  And he's figuring out how to control the ball as he runs.
There he goes!!
I can't handle the cuteness!!
Having a blast!
Look at that smile on his face!  Pure joy :)!

Dance Party

We had an impromptu dance party last night in our kitchen.  We turned the music up loud and got crazy :)!
Dancing with Daddy
Silly kids
Ethan gets into it :)

4+ Months Stats AND Cereal

Atley finally had her 4 month doctor appointment this week.  (It was canceled last week).  She is a healthy girl and growing too fast.  She weighs 14 lbs 12 oz (50%) and is 25 1/4 inches long (75%).  We also tried rice cereal for the first time last night.  I don't think she's a big fan yet, but I'm sure it's only a matter of time ;).

Snowy Sunday

This morning we woke up to white.  Not as much as we were expecting and hoping for, but enough for the kids to BEG to go outside and play.  Since we went to church last night, they were dressed (Jared too) and ready to go outside by 9 this morning.  And by 11, it was pretty much raining and they were soaked!  They made a snow fort, a snowman, threw snowballs, shoveled and took the sled down the hill a lot!  What a fun and wet morning!

Lazy Saturday

Yesterday was one of those days where we had no plans and no where to be!  The kids played nicely around the house in the morning, we went out to lunch and then decided to go to church in the evening.  I snapped a couple pictures of the kids playing.

They were going to the Ball!

Legos for days!!!

100 Days

Ethan had his 100th day of kindergarten yesterday.  100 days of kindergarten is a big deal :)!!  He made a project for it and I was able to go help out in his classroom for their celebration.  It was a fun afternoon!
We talked about a lot of different things he could do for his project.  We ended up between something with 100 Legos or 100 colors.  In the end, he chose 100 colors!  I picked up a lot of paint chips, Ethan cut them all and glued them in groups of 10 according to their color.  He had 10 different colors, so 10 groups with 10 colors= 100 Colors!
Glueing them on the board
Finished product!
For the celebration in his classroom, they had 4 different centers.  At one, the made a fruit loop necklace with 100 fruit loops on it.  The next, they wrote all the numbers from 1 to 100 and if they completed in the allotted time, they got a 100 Grand candy bar.  After that was the 100 snacks table.  They had 10 different bowls of snacks and were to count out 10 pieces from each bowl to put in a baggie to bring home.  And at my center, we made 100 Crowns!
Putting groups of 10 links together.  And yes...he has 2 red ribbons on him!  1 for being the Role Model of the Week and one for counting to 100 by 5's!
Working on his 100 crown

Finished product ;)!
More putting links together
Showing me his fruit loop necklace
He came home that day with a "My 100 Book".  It's pretty cute!  Check out that picture of 105 year old Ethan!
If I had $100 I would buy..."2 $50 Lego boxs".  I'm glad I don't have 100 "sistrs".  I would eat 100 "of 50 pesis of candy and 50 cupcacs".  I would never eat 100 "bunanus".  I wish I had 100 "lego boxs".  In 100 years I will look like this.  


I can't believe he is already more than half way through kindergarten!  He's such a smart kid and is learning so much everyday!  We couldn't be more proud of him :)!
