I get to go to school now too!!

Andrew started preschool on September 9th and is absolutely loving it! I wasn't sure how he would react to a new teacher and me leaving him there, but all went great! He loves his teacher and he was just fine staying at school without me! Yeah! I'm so proud of my little Drew!

I couldn't help but post this picture too. This is the face he does to everyone....especially strangers. Ha!

Sleepy heads

Over the weekend we rented a movie to watch as a family called the Seeker, which is rated PG but is definitely not a PG movie. It was way too scary for the kids. So we had the kids go upstairs to watch something else. When Jon and I came upstairs we found them all snuggled up in our bed. There's just something fun about sleeping in mom and dad's bed! I use to love that as a kid!
Notice Andrew all curled up around his "Nigh Night". I love how he does that.

For Josh's birthday we went to a place called Randy's Xtreme Tumbling. We had an absolute blast! The pictures should explain it all. :)Josh had no fear! He bell flopped into the foam pit from the platform, which was very high. It was hilarious! All the big kids and adults braved the jump, but a couple of us took a long to time to get the courage! :)
And dad was so much fun doing wild and crazy jumps for us.

My very good friend Heidi came with her kids. Her oldest is Josh's age and she has 4 amazing children! Of course me and Heidi couldn't resist joining in on the fun either.

Here's Caleb's friend John coming down the runway trampoline that leads to the foam pit.
My sister Laura and her fiance were able to make it too so I wanted to catch "engaged pictures". They're so cute together!

This slide goes into the foam pit and was a little scary to go down, it felt like you were going to fall right off.

Notice anything different about Jon?

Here we are paused from a huge foam fight we were having.
Josh absolutely loves Star Wars so I made a Star Wars battlefield scene for his cake. He loved it! (Thanks so much Heidi for saving me!) Do you like Josh's strategic placing of the candles?
Josh was absolutely thrilled with his gifts. Lego Star Wars ship, a legos airplane, the Olympics Wii game, and Star Wars bobble head figurines. Grandma Victoria took him shopping today for another of his favorites...Transformers! Thank you everyone for all the fun and great gifts!

Caleb the soccer king

This is the first time in quite a while that any of my kids have played soccer. I was so excited to see Caleb playing this season. Caleb started off as goalie for the first half and he did awesome! I overheard other parents from the other team even saying how great of a job he was doing. I couldn't help but think in my mind a little smuggly, "Yup that's my son!" Way to go Caleb!
