Orange belt testing

 Early September Carter got to test for his orange belt.  It's been fun watching him and his friend from school Timothy progress together.

 They did such a good job on their sequence and were so in sync

 After doing the yellow belt sequence they go through the other skills

Carter passed and received his orange belt and certificate at his next class.

soccer season

 Soccer season started the end of August.  We kept Carter in a low key league for this year.  We want him to enjoy and learn the game before getting him into a competitive league.

 They had a few practices before their games started.

 The cutest cheerleader on the sideline.

 We really saw an improvement in Carter since last year.  He was more aggressive and stayed in tune with the game better this year.  He even had a break away and almost scored a goal! 

 It was impressive to see Carter go after the ball like he did since he was so much smaller than most of the kids on the field. :)

He liked throwing the ball in.

1 year photos

We had Evelyn's 1 year pictures taken over Labor Day.  Here are the sneak peak pictures our photographer posted to Facebook.  Enjoy! 

She always captures good shots of our kiddos.  I'll post more once we get the images we purchased.

 The last weekend of August was our last time at the pool

 My cute little fishies

 Audrey needed a picture of Chuck for a dad project at school.  It turned out cute so I had to share it.

Evelyn was so funny with this.  She had to have it on her head and would get mad if Audrey would take it off.

random pics

Evelyn feeding her snack to Sasha one piece at a time.  Sasha knows she's not supposed to take food from the kids but when it's put right in her mouth for her how can she resist?  This is what makes putting up with Evelyn worth it.

 Evelyn loves it when Carter and Audrey push her really fast on her train.  They all just laugh and giggle and it's so cute!

 Audrey got a hold of the camera and took some pictures.  Most of them weren't really of anything but this one wasn't too bad.  It's a little blurry but she did pretty good.  Plus, I don't make it into picture very often so I have to keep it.

 Then she said it's her turn for pictures and started posing.  She held each pose until I took her picture.

 Then I had to she her the picture on the camera to she her I really did take it :)  These are just a few

Being a sweet big sister

Pre K

 At the end of August Audrey finally had her first day of school.  Carter had already been back for over a week so she was anxious to get back.  When I told her it was time to get ready for her first day she exclaimed, "FINALLY!"

 She was more than happy to pose for her pictures.

She had to get a picture with her best friend Alaina

a few random pics

 Evelyn got mac and cheese all over her face and hair.  Turns out it makes great hair gel.  She sported this mohawk until I got her in the tub.

 I thought it was funny that all 3 kiddos were on a laptop at the same time.  

 Evelyn continues to give Sasha hugs and kisses even though Sasha really can do without.  Sasha will get up and move when she's had enough.

 Evelyn's legs are long enough now for her to scoot her car and train.  She makes car noises as she moves along.

All three kiddos loved using the tray as a place to prop their feet up.  Evelyn does it every time she's in her chair.
