School Days and Soccer Weekends

Well for most of September I felt what it was like to be a soccer mom. I never thought I would say I was a soccer mom - but until football and baseball season starts I'll live with it.

Cash started school this year at the Magic Treehouse Preschool. He has a really good teacher and even though he has been in trouble a few times he manages to do very well. Cash has a problem of not wanting to share and wanting to tackle and play rough. We have to remind him he can do that at home with his brother but not at school. Our 10 block drive to his school involves me going over the "rules" he must follow if he wants to stay in school. He hates to listen to me lecture but until we don't have to say them anymore he is stuck with me saying them haha... They go over a letter each week and are working on shapes and numbers. Plus every Wednesday there is show-n-tell and Cash loves it. I have also loved being able to spend some time with Colt one-on-one while Cash is in school. Colt is spoiled though and ends up getting some sort of treat once we drop Cash off. I can't help it - he's my baby. So far Cash's favorite thing about school is counting. He counts everything now and is pretty good at it too. He is stubborn though and won't do what you ask him to do but when we work on "homework" that I give him he will buckle down and do it.

Here are a few pics from his first day of school:

I had to put this one in there because Colt cracks me up. If I can ever get a good smile from him I will die. He is a jokester!!! But seriously half my pics are like this of him.

Can I cry?? He is growing up so fast!

Colt had to get a back pack too!

Yeah for school!!!

On October 5th we were able to close out this year's soccer season. I had to bring treats to the last game and we enjoyed some nice fall weather. Cash scored his first and only goal of the season and progressed so much through the year. He went from using his hands to not using his hands! His coach was proud of him and asked if we would play in the spring. Colt will be able to play in the spring as well. I can tell you though - watching 3-4 year-old soccer is MADNESS! haha

Here are a few pics of his games:

During warmups! Form is getting better!

Practicing against his coach!

Our goofball!

"Piture me mom!" hahaha Crazy Colt!

Love my foosch! Weird I caught a bright orange orb in my pic too!

Scoring his first goal!

"I scored mom!" 

Hanging out with dad during timeout time.

Can I just tell you how much I have enjoyed living in Bountiful. We live on the west side and it's so quiet. There is so much to do and I'm like 5 minutes from both gyms I go too! Hopefully in a few years we can find a house to buy in this area or else we'll be looking a little farther north in Kaysville. But seriously - it has been a nice change of pace. :D
