Cole started school today. More about that below...but here's his first day of school picture for 2009.
This was last year 2008. So....the exciting news to share is Cole started AYSO soccer. I was honestly so proud of myself....I managed to finally get him signed up on time for a team. I missed the deadlines for tee-ball and indoor soccer so I was extremely happy to get him into soccer. The sign up's were literally 3 months ago. Cole has 5 kids on his team. 3 girls and 2 boys (Cole and Cotter).
His first game (it actually turned into a practice) was on Saturday.
He will have a game/practice every Saturday through October 17 at 1 pm at Community Park. So if anyone (hello Grama and Grampa Gil and LeeAnn!) want to come...we'll be there every Saturday.
I don't think there's anything cuter than a bunch of excited 5 year old's running around chasing soccer balls.
They practice "dribbling" and at first Cole was using his hand to dribble like a basketball then he used his foot...to actually dribble (or bounce) the ball up and down. Chris finally convinced him that "dribbling" in soccer was a little different and just required him to lightly kick the ball and run.
2 1/2 hours of non-stop running. It was awesome. Cole was wiped out! We had a great weekend!!!
The girls all have special little bows with curly ribbons....how cute is that?

Now back to school. So today was his first day back to school. (school website here: CLICK ME!) And this is right before breakfast.
I was trying to get a picture of the two boys before we left the house. Carter is a late sleeper and was a little grumpy at 7:30 a.m.
Breakfast again.
Pretending to be serious. What a silly kid.
At school changing into his classroom Crocs. This year we found the Crocs with fuzzy stuff inside so he was excited to wear them and his feet are sure to stay warm! It's tough waiting to wear all the new "school" stuff for the first day of school.
Here he is when we left after he was all done for the day. He's a class leader this year because they have younger students now. Cole was sure to report to me when every one's birthday is. Cole is counting down the days to his!

September 18th is the family party and September 19th is the kid party. Invitations will be out soon.
