Spelunking anyone?

For C's birthday in August, Uncle B-rad and Aunt T-bird got him a SWEET flashlight that you wear on you head. All the kids love it, but AM was pretty funny with it. She loves all accessories, but this one that lights up is special!

C is playing soccer... well, define playing.

Last Friday, C had his first soccer party at CiCi's pizza! Followed Saturday, by his first soccer game. He just turned three, so needless to say, the playing wasn't quite up to par, but all in time, right? Just getting outside and meeting some more kids his age was a good time. We are trying to make it very positive by going to get ice cream after each game. (That may be more for mom than C.)

This weekend, Gramma was in town to take care of me and therefore able to attend his second game. No parent were allowed on the field this weekend, so the coach had some trouble keeping players on the field. In the fourth quarter, the teenage boy referee gave C a "high five" and asked him "Ya gonna kick the ball, bud?" C smiled from ear to ear and he was a different player!!! Don't get too excited. The result of this interaction was that C stayed on the field and chased the mass of kiddos that surrounded the ball. In contrast to the crying running off the field, we were VERY proud!!!

This video was from last weeks game when all the parents were allowed to hold their kids hand...

Oh, but then there was dancing...

Before everyone else got on the floor, the kiddos put on a show!

Here is a C solo!

I mean, he is really breakin' it down right? And all was forgiven:)

so...there was an incident...

C's ringbearer

Then, C's BFF's b-day party

There was a pinata...C's first. He really enjoyed taking a whack at it. Unfortunately, everyone only got one turn because some future MLB player took its head off!
But then there was delicious candy to hoard and eat.
AM even got herself a lollipop...she still needs to work on not getting so messy or...
she's gonna kill her father. He was not pleased with the state of things :) Geez Dad! Calm Down!

Let's start at the very begining...

That's a very good place to start.

So we had a tree fall on the house and truck... Geez, what was that...the 12th? 9/12/08

But no worries, C moved it for us...PUSH!!
