Little Big Kicks

Kaden has started his first year of soccer. Unfortunately, mom and dad want him to play more than he does. He is so shy and unsure of the unknown. He was so excited to go to soccer and talked about it for weeks but when it came time to leave mom on the sidelines he was ready to go home. So Makayla and I took turns helping him out on the field so that he would actually play. Week 2 went a little better and he says he likes to play soccer but this time he wouldn't let dad leave his sight. Any suggestions on how to get this little guy out of his "bubble", I'll take them!!

We couldn't even talk Makayla into playing this year which really stinks. She is afraid she wouldn't know anyone on the team. Yep! That's right she is miss social!! However, when she is out there with Kaden she really wants to play. I have to keep reminding her that she can't be on his team and that she needs to stay off the field. lol I am hoping that I can at least talk her into Softball..

Kids at Play

The other day I was in Myla's room doing some laundry and all three kids were in Kaden's room playing. I didn't think I was gone that long, seriously how long can one basket of laundry take, but this is what I walked into when I came back. . . . and by that I mean I was seriously only 6 feet away. :o)

I have no idea how she got that out of the package, let alone on her leg. She sure was proud of herself though.

Little People have taken over!! The kids had a complete "village" set up, you are only looking at half of it. It stayed like this for several days and as soon as Makayla would get home from school they would go up and pick up right where they had left off.

Back to School

Welcome to First Grade. Makayla is so grown up! She started 1st grade this year and is now in school all day. This hasn't just been an adjustment for her but for the whole family. The first week was so weird to not have her here all day. Kaden misses his big sister but does really well with it. I think he has realized he gets a bit more attention while she is away, but he can't wait to play with her when she gets home. He always wants to take her to the bus in the morning and meet her there in the afternoon to walk her down the driveway.

The First Tooth

While Makayla was camping with her Mema and Papa at Silver Creek Falls over Labor Day weekend she lost her 1st tooth. I have to admit I was a little bummed that it happened while she was away. I would have loved to see her reaction, but she was just as excited to tell me all about it when she came home. The Tooth Fairy came to visit the campground and left her $5!!
