Back to School

Well, we're back to school and back to a routine! Carson started 1st grade this year, which means I have a full 7 hrs to get my things done. He's actually doing pretty good and not too tired. Cassidy's in 4th grade and she's already got the homework routine down.

Carson is the hugginest kid... always wants a hug.

This kid started preschool today and now thinks he's too cool for pictures!

I think he's been hangin around Carson too much, he only gave me one smile
and the rest these wild wierd poses!

Fluffy Hair and Funny Faces

Preston woke up from his nap one day and had fluffiest hair and made the funniest faces. I couldn't resist taking a few photos and sharing them.



This is one of my favorite faces he makes, even though it's so cheesy.

Carson Jumps Twice and Falls Once

Carson's had the best time learning to ski this year. I wanted to show this video of him skiing, only his 3rd time ever! He found this big jump and kept skiing on it. In the 1st video, he knew I was recording and was trying to jump really high, unfortunately, he fell and hit his head but didn't get hurt. Actually, he hardly ever gets hurt, except today when his younger brother bit him, again.

Boy Practices Taekwondo Moves

Our active little Munchkin Head, Carson, recently started taking Taekwondo classes. So far it's been great for him! They are teaching him how to focus, concentrate, follow directions, etc. and he's having fun. Master Oliver is an amazing teacher, he can keep Carson's attention the entire time. Carson loves it, the 1st class he giggled through the whole lesson, Master Oliver keeps it fun while teaching important lessons!







Here's Carson telling his sister that he's going to punch her, I don't know why but she said OK. After seriously knocking the wind out of her, we had a little talk about punching people.

Nine Year Old Eagerly and Nervously Awaits Ear Piercing

I always thought I'd let Cassidy get her ears pierced on her 8th birthday. Well, that came and went, I wanted it to be her idea and something she really wanted. Now, at age nine, she's been begging to get hers ears pierced. I think she just wanted to do it because her friends have theirs done, but she kept asking. She got all 4's on her report card, so we decided this would be her reward.

Here she is NERVOUSLY awaiting!

Little Boy Found Hiding in the Laundry

Who is this little boy inside my laundry bin?

IT'S PRESTON!

So, other than hiding, what is he doing?

Well, reading of course, what else would you do?
(No, that's not a mustache on his upper lip,
it's leftover chocolate yogurt from lunch)

Guess the yogurt wasn't enough.
Books taste pretty good... especially the dictionary.

Lets play peek-a-boo now...

and make scary faces!

Time to put dirty socks on your hands...

and swing them back and forth yelling superman!

Carson's underware?!?

Uh Oh, time to get out!
