A little bit of THIS and THAT

Holy Manoly! I am totally behind. I am just going to start post pictures with very little words. I need to get caught back up!

Love these three!

Scarlett loves to pick out our nail polish color and design.

Josh and I were able to get away for a night for our 10 year anniversary!

Payton in 1st grade

Payton started school last Wednesday. He is just growing and changing all the time. I can't believe how big he is becoming. He is now in the 1st grade. We switched school this year and got him into a brand new charter school right by our house. We are very excited about it and know he will love it. He's teacher is Ms. Reeves and she seems super sweet and nice. The school is called River Islands Technical Academy. The kids do have to wear uniforms, which is nice cause it makes picking out clothes each day super easy. I am just super thrilled because the class sizes are smaller and the school is very focused on parent involvement. 

 Payton's first day of 1st grade!

 Heading off to his class.

 Found his desk in his class and got settled in. 

 We picked him up on the first day and he was excited to show us he didn't eat his gogurt. 

 Ready for day 2!

Payton is super excited about having his own mini iPad. The school has given ever kid their own electronic device which is pretty awesome. They are very focused on using technology and not using a ton of paper. Its very different than any other school, but it is definitely a huge step into the future for these kids. 

I received this sweet email from Payton's teacher in response to my email to her. I am thrilled for Payton and know he will just thrive. 

Payton's first soccer game

It was a very last minute decision but we decided to sign Payton up for soccer. He was  little unsure at first, but after we told him he would be on the same team as his friends and that dad would help coach he got excited about it. Josh loves soccer and played all growing up. I knew he would be all for it and would want to help coach. The team started practicing 2 weeks ago. He's playing on the Under 6 team and seems to really enjoy it so far. He is #8!

Friday night was technically his second game, but it was the first one for him since we were busy with family last week. 

They split the team up into two groups and have the kids play 4 on 4. This way all kids get to play. Josh was the couch over Payton's little group. The couches are also the ref's. 

Kick off!

The kids they played against were good and we lost big time. The kids learned how to do kick off for sure.

It was a lot of fun watching the kids play. Most of them have no clue what is going on. Payton gets it a little, but he still gets lost. He did score the 1 and only goal for his little team of 4 that night. I was a very proud mom of course! 

This is what you get when your 3 year old steals your phone and takes way too many pictures.
