Soccer has started!

I tried to put these pics somewhere else in the blog, but it wouldn't let me oh well.....runners club has started too! Aaron is soooo competitive! He is trying to hard every day to get 1st place! (So far he's been getting 2nd) but he is determined!

Soccer season has started. Ella and Ashton are playing soccer this year. I asked everyone if they wanted to play and Aaron said, "No I just want to do basketball." and I told him he could do both- but he said he just wanted to do basketball. That was fine with me.....
Then the first soccer game comes and Aaron says, "Why am I not playing basketball yet?" I guess I forgot to explain that basketball won't be until January. ooops. Sorry Aaron.

Ella is on the Rapids and is #1. (Blue shirt and shorts)

Ashton is on the Flames and is #7 (Grey shorts)

And Adam has taken Aaron and Ashton on dates this week. I love that he does that- it is so good for the kids to spend time with their dad. Aaron went to Applebees and got some new running shoes. :)

Ashton went to Chinese and got some new cleats. (He had been insisting on wearing some shoes that were about 4 sizes too big!) these cleats fit him much better!

And I got some cute pics of Liv and Ashton this week.

Busy weeks--but we love it!

Preston is 1!!! And a delicious recipe....

Our "little" baby boy is 1!!!!! This year has really flown by. Preston is such a miracle and a blessing in our lives. He is the most easy going, good natured little boy. He loves being with his family and is just a wonderful part of our family.

He was such a good sleeper when he was a newborn!! (And he's finally getting that way again!)
This is one of our many (at least 30) ultrasounds that we had of Preston

Happy Birthday!!!

Admiring his tractors! (He calls them "vroom vroom's")

New cars from Grandma and Grandpa! He loves anything with wheels.

We went to the park for pizza and play time!

Come on guys!

Then we went rock climbing and Preston was happy to be in his stroller. He LOVES his stroller. (Or anyone's stroller for that matter)

Aaron all geared up!

Ashton loving it!

This picture makes Livia look like she's really high, but I promise she didn't get much out of my arm's length.

Ella climbing

And instead of birthday cake......we made doughnuts!!!! I looked up a recipe for Krispy Kreme doughnuts and we made them....and they tasted like a slice of heaven. DELICIOUS!!!!!

Happy Birthday Preston!!

Look at this boy!!! An adorable church outfit from Grandma and Grandpa---he got so many compliments, and pinches on the cheek at church!

We love you so much Preston, and we are sooooo glad we got lucky enough to have you in our family.

First day of school!

I wish this was another post about our summer, but it's not. :( School started today and the kids were so excited and up and ready by 7:00! (We'll see how long the excitement lasts!)

Ella starts the 4th grade!!!

Aaron is a "big, tough" 1st grader! (Who, he wants everyone to know---can do a back flip on the trampoline!)

Ashton gets to go to Kindergarten!!! He is soooo excited and has the same teacher Ella and Aaron had for Kindergarten. So watch out Mrs. Udy's class---here comes Ashton!!!

Livia gets to stay home with me and Preston....and I think she's fine with that! What a fun little girl she is- it will be nice to spend some time -almost one on one with her now.

And Mr. Preston Roger is going to be a year on Saturday!!!! And it's looking like he's going to have strawberry blond hair---at least for now. All of our kids hair color has changed a lot in the first few years, so we'll see. But at least for now he's the closest thing we have to a red head around here. And what a cutie he is.
