Back to School

Carson started back to school on August 13th. Hard to believe he's in 7th grade already...such a young man. This is his 3rd year of middle school for him and he's officially in the "cool" hallway- their school is split with 5/6th grade down one hall and 7/8th down the other.He is still in the gifted program, and also does Advanced Math (which is Algebra 1). We're so proud of him, and he's so smart. We are fortunate that we've never had to worry about his grades. Also, this year he gets to play sports for the school for the first time, so he's chosen to do football and basketball. He is so excited to be a Jaguar! He will continue to do baseball in the Spring/Summer and made the Natural Baseball Academy AAA team, which he is very excited about. He still enjoys playing guitar and has weekly lessons. He's really getting so good. Right now, he's starting on "Angel" by Aerosmith for Doug & Jennie's wedding in April. He is definitely keeping busy- and keeping us running around with his busy schedule.

Cal turns 3!!!!

Cal turned 3 on August 10. where has the time gone? He had a great birthday weekend. Friday on his official birthday, we took cupcakes into daycare and then picked up Lexi for a night of fun at Chucky Cheese. They had a blast!!! Saturday was his birthday party, and we did a simple baseball themed party at home (no more parks after last year)! We had hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, and a baseball glove cake. I was so happy it turned out okay:) cal had a great time! The big hit was the train table Jeff made him. He wants to play on it nonstop. He's obsessed with trains right now- so it was perfect! No injuries to report, it was a really great day. Sunday our friends, the Cole's invited us out on their boat....so Cal continued his fun weekend by swimming and tubing. It was a really fabulous weekend, and he loved every second of it! His three year stats: height 39 1/2" (75%), weight 35lbs (85%)....and he got to pee in a cup which he thought was hilarious:) Some pics of the birthday boy!
