Moving is Chaotic!

For those of you out in blog land that don't know we are moving, that is my big excuse for the lack of posting. Things are an absolute circus around here! Between packing, moving boxes, painting, unpacking, garage sales, and your usual chaos, it is a zoo over here!

My parents came down this weekend to help with the garage sale and move some boxes and such. It was a great and busy weekend. Cole and Carter got into the packing mode and I took some time to snap some shots!

Cole climbed on just about every box he could.

He was so proud of himself!

Carter loves bubble wrap! He stomped on it all evening! Not sure what good it is now though :)


Hopefully once the chaos slows down I will get back to my regularly scheduled posting! See you soon!

1st Soccer Games

Today started our first ever soccer season. It was pouring rain, but we prayed that it would lighten up a little as we drove to the game. It didn't! :( so Cole, Carter, and Graydon stayed in the car, while I snapped a few photos. Cory and Caden were SOAKED!! They called the game halfway through for lightening, but then let them start up again 15 minutes later. The kids did great most of the game. They were freezing and soaked but had fun! We got beat, but they don't keep score :) Our boys kept kicking the wrong way...oh well! We are praying the rain dies down for our next game this afternoon!

Cory giving Caden some pointers, trying to get his head in the game.

Getting ready to kick

Go Reid Go!!!

Stretching for the game!

Education Can Be Fun!

Caden is having so much fun at school and learning tons of cool stuff. He shares bits and pieces of it with us throughout the day and it just makes me smile to see how much fun he is having with learning.

Apparently they have talked about traffic signs and such...from his comments and a few notes sent home from his teacher. He also said something about a snack with crackers, icing, and m&m's. Well today I break out the graham crackers and he begs for traffic light snack. I think what on earth is he talking about...but then figure it out! We have some vanilla icing left over from the party Friday and a pack of m&m's...we are in business!

Instantly he ices one and turns it into a traffic light. Devin, this is for you...he wanted me to take a picture and blog about it :) So here it is for the grandparents to see!
Carter had to get in on the action, but doesn't quite get the concept of a traffic light. He did tell me that red means stop and green mean go fast...so we are getting there!
I am so thankful Caden is enjoying school and learning some fun things! I also love that snack time can be educational! Fun times today!
