Another Season of Soccer.
We've all enjoyed Hayden's fall soccer league. Not only was in very competive, he played with mostly 8 year olds and he kept right up with them. He has gotten so much better! He scored a few goals even. He played goalie many games and only had 2 balls get past him! Their team was undeafeted the whole season. I am going to miss this group! But we are having a kids vs parents game tonight and a pizza party on Thursday. His coach was amazing, so patient but stern with the kids. They learned so much from him. I hope we are lucky enough to have him as a coach again!

I think its time for a little Carson update!
Boy is this guy full of it! He is what my brother calls a Sour Patch Kid. He is so sweet but watch out sometimes.
He loves his choo-choos still. Still has his 2 loves in his life, his buffy and his "mmmm" (blankets). He loves Dora and Diego lately and sings along to their theme songs. He counts to 10 in spanish and 12 in english. He knows all his colors including white, brown and wello(yellow, my favorite he says). He says "O-Tay" instead of okay. He knows all his letters big and small and is working on the alphabet song. He doesnt like loud things and always is letting us know when something is "too noisy".
He loved traveling on our trip always pointing out the sky, sun, moon and water. He still talks about the "Big Heads" and "waafalls" (waterfalls).
He knows his brothers favorite things and plays Harry Potter with him. With both of them casting spells on one another and falling down backwards into the chair.
He is going to a new babysitter and he loves it! He always wants to go to "Natie's" and see her baby.
He loves playing with Breckie and Baby Ky. He loves Haira(Sarah) and is very open to her. He talks about the one time Sarah pushed him in the double stroller with Kyler, he loved it.
He loves to help! Which is a mixed blessing.
He is a dare double and loves going on rides at the fairs this summer. He also "Mounces" all the time!
He is wearing 2t clothes, size 8 shoes and size 4 diapers. He weighs about 33 pounds and 36" tall (I think!)

Happy 1st Day(s) of School
Hayden has started 1st grade with a bang. He was advanced enough to be reading at a F and G levels! This momma was proud! His teacher is Mrs Larson and she seems great. Her classroom is warm and inviting with so much to do! She has a whole wall with a books, that she has in order, I love it! She has a Smart Board in her classroom and was letting the students play around with it during The Great Start Day. Carson wowed her by saying the names of the letters as Jason pointed on them. He has bunch of friends in his class including Jed and Marianna who we've known since last summer. His pal Jolene who adores Hayden too. He is so excited to be at school again!
Jason and I know what a great little boy we've raised when we go to the school and teachers and aides and other students say Hi to him, constantly, we seriously couldn't walk down the hall without being stopped. Some teachers had talked about him to Mrs Larson, and she had heard nothing but positive things about him and saying that Mrs Walt called him her cheerleader.
Have a great year Hayden! We know you'll do us proud!

I'm Two!




Carson is amazing us more and more. I sure can't believe he is 2 already. He is a toddler but very much a snuggler and cuddler like a baby still, this momma likes that a lot!
-Knows many colors(Orange...favorite color by far, purple, blue, red, pink(mink), black and yellow.
-Know many letters( E, O, P, T, W, Z, Y, J(well sort of he calls it L), L, A, B, and H for sure)
-Counts to 3, but it sounds like 1, 3, 3.
-Wears size 4 diapers
-Starting to potty train.
-Wears 24m and 2t clothing mostly.
-Loves his Bunny Milk
-Loves fruit
-Loves Ice Cream, lots!
-Loves, loves, loves being outside.
-Loves Animals
-Loves Trains
-Loves anything with wheels
-Can be quite the couch potato
-Love and admires his brother so much
-Does not like dirt, fuzz or hair. Freaks him out.
Those are a few things! He loves his new "Mounce House" he got for his birthday. Hayden and him spend lots of time bouncing. He loves animals and kids so much too. I keep trying to find ways for him to be exposed to them more. He is such a funny guy sometimes. He loves to make sure laugh and has some crazy faces he makes. He loves music and Glee! He also can be quite the stinker. He screams, pinches and has been known to punch his mama in the face. The temper gets him(must be from those Smiths =) ) He tells us no regularly, and likes to do anything and/or everything by himself or help us. But boy does this boy have our hearts. Lots of love for the little monster! He impresses us everyday with the things he picks up like operating the ipod(turning it on, and unlocking it, finding his favorite apps and music), the colors and letters he knows. He picks up on the days of the week and knows what happens when.
Happy Birthday Carson, we love you!

Okay huge slacker mom! 2 year old is just about ready but while you wait...

Potty Training 2011!

Carson decided on the last day of school that he wanted to go "pee" in the potty and has been doing great when we are at home. He tinkles a little and then throws his hands in the air and says "yay" so cute. He also tells me his pee is stuck when he is done going. So proud of him! Hopefully we'll be potty trained by the end of summer! If we have a summer!
