The Cheetas

 Cohen was begging us to play soccer this fall- and since he really didn't like it last spring we were wondering how he was going to do. So we signed him up and he loved it! He would run and actually kicked the ball a couple of times! And not only that but Steve ended up being the coach- he was so great with the kids and everyone loved his easy going style of coaching- these kids are only 3 and 4 years old (it was amazing how intense some of the other coaches were).

Some of the highlights..... so their team was the Cheetahs and if any of you know Cohen he is really, REALLY into animals. There may have been some instances when Cohen would take the Cheetah thing to heart. There was a team... the zebras and my sweet Cohen may or may not have been roaring and trying trying to claw them.... oops..... who's child is that? Also did you know Cheetahs make a chirping noise instead of a roar like most big cats..... well Cohen does- I can't tell you haw many looks parents gave me as my son was high pitched chirping as he was running down the field- duh, Cheetahs chirp people!

Also this is a coed team and seeing as I have 2 boys and no girls I totally got a kick out of the little girls holding hands and skipping down the field- haha so cute! It was a great soccer season and I am so glad Cohen liked it this time- maybe there will be more soccer in our future!

Starting Preschool

A couple weeks ago both boys started preschool at Little Learners Academy. I can't believe both my kids are in preschool. Cohen is now going 3 days a week and Carson goes 2 days a week. Their teachers are so awesome, the boys love them.

 Little Cohen apparently is in the advanced class?!? We just went to orientation and they said welcome to the advanced class...... Steve and I just looked at each other and said is he in the advanced class? Of course he is- he is such a smart little boy and loves to learn.

 Look at that cute smile

 Carson is doing really well in preschool- I think it helps that he wants to do everything his brother does. For example, Cohen can be dropped off at preschool and walk to his classroom by himself, I have been to nervous to do that with Carson yet because I worry he wont find his way to his class room. But he was asking to be dropped off like Cohen so I did it and he did great..... I barely made it out without a heart attack! I can't believe how brave he has been!

Can't wait to see what this year holds!

Cohen's Preschool Program

We loved Cohen's end of the year! Grandma and Aunt Heather and Lola all came to cheer him on!

His program was all a whole bunch of Disney songs and I have been enjoying hearing him sing them over the last couple of weeks.....we especially love the Grand Ol Fag because now every time the boys see a flag Carson yells "Cohen it's a Grand Ol Fwag- sing it Cohen"and then we of course get to hear him sing the song.........I never realized how many flags there are!

 I loved seeing him do this surfing dance- cool dude!

 HAHAHA! What a stud!

 At the end they all earned a certificate with something special about them! Cohen got the einstein award.......he apparently has taught the teachers several things! We are so proud of him and he has done amazing this year!

Father and Sons

I love father and sons especially since now both boys are old enough to go with Steve and it gives me a free night alone! They camped up in Kamas and had such a great time- they loved the camp fire and their head lamps! They ate so much junk food and stayed up way late which means they were exhausted the next day....... that's what it's all about .......right?

3 years of Carson

 Carson's 1st day!

 1st Birthday!

 Carson's 2nd Birthday!

Carson is 3 years old!!!!

Carson turns 3

I really just can't believe my baby is 3! He was really shy about his birthday and all the attention but he loved it! A couple of days before his birthday his best friends Josh and Ella threw a birthday party for him- he was so excited!

 Look at these little buddies!

 Shelly is just the sweetest and had balloons in each kids favorite color along with name tags!

 They all got to color Thomas the Train pictures, and add stickers- Carson just loves trains!

 Then she had made brownies and ice cream and let each child put as many sprinkles as they wanted on it.......which was a lot! They gave Carson some really cute magnet trains and we let them play! He just loves Josh and Ella's and this seriously made his day! Thank you Shelly for being so thoughtful- it made our day!

 On Carson's birthday he woke up to all of his Thomas tracks set up all over the living room!

 Which provided hours of entertainment! He also got to have donuts for breakfast!

 Then I took him to Barnes and Noble to play and get a free cookie for his big day!

 We had Chick Fil A for lunch and I made cheesy noodles for dinner which he loves! Then we took him to Target and bought him a new toy. Then we took him to a park and let them play and eat chocolate covered strawberries!

 His birthday party was on the day after his actual birthday-more like a birthday week!

 We had a train party and my mom made the cutest cake- isn't that adorable? And it tastes amazing too!

 Caron was being shy but he was loving it!

 We had pizza and fruit and juice- all at his request!

 Then it was present time- I love this age- they just get so excited about this part!

 The Monday after his birthday was Memorial Day and Steve had the day off so we took Carson to Thomas Days in Heber! We got to meet Sir Topham Hat.......

 play mini golf.......

 Ride Thomas- yeah!!!!!...........

 get balloon animals and new toys.......

 and maybe the best part was all of the trains! it was the perfect day!

We ended our fun trip to Heber at Dairy Keen- a little hometown burger joint that was completely packed and so worth it- they have a train that goes around the ceiling and the boys got to eat at a little train table!

Happy birthday sweet boy!
