Connor lost his first tooth!!!

Tonight Connor lost his first tooth while we were out eating dinner. Since the tooth was not loose and showed no signs of coming out while he was eating pizza, I have to say that Mom did not handle the tooth coming out and the unexpected amount of blood as well as I could have. Luckily we were able to calm Connor down and get him to understand that losing a tooth is completely normal and everyone does it at his age. He is still a little nervous about having a hole in his mouth but he is pretty excited about the toothfairy coming to visit him tonight. I am hoping Mom will handle the next tooth alot better!! I am not loving how much this kid is growing up on me right now. I wish he was still my sweet little boy and not my rapidly growing little man. But atleast I can say I love the little man he currently is.

Third Saturday of Fall Soccer

Pictures from the third Saturday of Fall Soccer.

Today Preston played about a 1/3 of the game and we had NO meltdowns! PROGRESS!!! Unfortunately today Connor and Preston's games were at the same time and since Preston requires alot more attention, due to his history of meltdowns, I missed alot of Connor's game. But I did see Connor score an amazing goal where he took the ball by himself the entire length of the field and scored. We were so proud!!!

Here are some pictures of Preston and his growing love of playing soccer.

Preston kicking off!

My only picture of Connor playing. I was cheering too hard while he was scoring to take any pictures!

Second Saturday of Fall Soccer

Here is some pictures from our second Saturday of Fall Soccer. Preston played about 8 minutes today before he lost it, started his meltdown and had to be taken off the field. You can say.....progress? We will try again next week to see if he wants to play more.

Preston was throwing in the ball after it went out of bounds. He looks happy right?!?

GOOOOOAAAALLLLL!!! Go Preston!!!

He is playing!! Yup.....I know I sound too excited. But hey....his meltdowns are no fun to deal with! Also, I have to mention how much I LOVE the view of the mountains we have while watching the boys play soccer. I feel so blessed to live where we do.

Connor's game. He is loving playing and is doing really good! (And yes, he is playing a team with the exact same jerseys as Preston's team)

 Showing some great balancing and ball skills.

 Our happy little man!!

First Saturday of Fall Soccer - 2013

Today starts the Fall 2013 Soccer season for Connor and Preston. This year they are playing with AYSO so we are looking forward to seeing how it compares to Space City Futbol Club. This is Connor's third year in soccer and Preston's first year so this is a day we have been looking forward to for a good part of the summer.

 

Dave is the coach of Preston's team. Today Preston only wanted to practice and lasted about 5 minutes in the game before he started throwing a fit and had to be taken out of the game. But hey....we will keep bring him to the games and trying to get him to play and have fun.

 

 Preston was showing off his mad soccer skills during his practice time.

Look he is playing and smiling!! (I had to have proof cause his meltdown 5 minutes into the game would lead you to believe he hated soccer)

 After the game he was enjoying playing soccer again with Dad and Stephan.

 Connor's team. They looked so cute in their uniforms during their practice time.

 Yup....that is Connor stealing the ball away from the Orange team. He was so happy during the game!

 My happy little soccer man. (And I just LOVE his teammate's face in this picture!)

 Go Connor!!!

 GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL!! That is Connor scoring one of his three goals!!
