16 months ~ September 26, 2009!!!

16 months; where has the time gone???? Cody is growing like a weed, along with his CRAZY hair!!!!! We love his crazy babble, we love his hugs & kisses, we love watching how much he idolizes his big brother, we love watching him learn new things, we love that he is an eating machine, and we love that he is the BEST sleeper ever.... Slow down baby boy; we LOVE YOU!!

Happy 16 months Little Man!!!!

Our Little Russian Boy!!!!

I was trying to decorate for Halloween; this is what happens when I turn my head though!!!!

Our CRAZY daredevil!!!!!

The Untouchables.......

Here is Austin's Fall 2009 soccer pictures. They turned out really cute; he looks so grown up!!! It was so funny to watch his team play every Tuesday & Thursday; especially since they are only 3 & 4 and their attention span is so brief. One minute they're kicking the ball and the next minute they're doing sommersaults. He had fun though and we had fun watching him!!! Even Cody would clap and cheer for his big brother!!!

Soccer games.......

September 22nd was Austin's 1st Official Soccer Game; he was very excited. Actually he was more excited to get through the season so he could get a trophy!!! :) We had a blast watching Austin his first season of soccer. Every game was something new. Too cute watching 3 & 4 year olds running around; Cody LOVED cheering on his Big Brother (and was even happier to watch if food was involved)!!!!!

Go Austin!!!!!!

Yay Bubba!!!!

Great First Season Bubba!!!!!

School Pictures 2009~2010

Preschool pictures are in and I was quite impressed. Our little ham came through once again!!! Gosh, when I look at pictures from age 3 I'm amazed at how much older he looks; just in a year too. Our little man is growing up and LOVING school. YAY!!!!!

And so it begins.........................

So the sports begin....... Austin started soccer on September 1st!!! He was so stoked to go out shopping for his soccer ball, cleats, soccer socks, and shin guards. Wow was mommy CLUELESS, but I am learning. His new team is called the Untouchables; all 3 & 4 year olds. It's fun going to watch him; all the kids can be quite comical at this age. They will pay attention and listen to Coach Robby and then all of a sudden they are checking out the grass and picking flowers; driving the parents crazy of course, but what can you expect at 3 & 4!!! All Austin talks about is getting a shirt with his number on it and a trophy; too funny. Austin & daddy have been practicing and when he is actually participating he is really good; he's a lefty when he kicks!!!! Stay tuned for updates on the games......

Austin was so proud of his soccer apparel......

Check out my new ball!!!

Iredell County Fair on Labor Day......

I am trying to catch up and make a mends to my blogger supporters. I am so behind, so here we go!!!!!! Back on September 7th, Labor Day, we all headed over to the Iredell County Fair to meet up with some friends. The kids had a blast on all the typical carnival rides and we ate some yummy food. Austin surprised us and went down the BIG slide without Mommy or Daddy and he went into a fun house that was all mirrors and he got stuck. We all laughed so hard we almost peed our pants as he ran into the mirrored maze. We thought for sure he'd get scared when he could not make it out on his own, but No he just laughed with us!!! Cody got to try his very 1st Funnel Cake and LOVED it of course and he had a blast watching the pig races. We ended the night by watching the horse pull (that was definitely neat) and checked out all the tractors!!! This was definitely a country fair and we enjoyed every minute; especially because it was literally 5 minutes down the road!!!!

Cody just mesmerized by the fair!!!!

Happy Labor Day!!!

A Day at the NC Train Museum...... CHOO CHOO

Last weekend we headed over to Spencer, NC to visit the Train Museum. They were having a special event that day called A Playdate With Thomas; so of course we had to go. It was a beautiful day, but a little HUMID. We got to ride a train, check out the roundhouse, look at all the trains in the museum, and have a snack while painting some Thomas Trains. The boys had a blast; what a fun family day.
