Watch Out David Beckham!
















Brayden is starting soccer this fall. He had his first soccer last Friday. It was, well... interesting! He did a good job for it to be his first practice. They worken on kicking the ball with the side of their foot and doing smaller kicks so that they can control the ball better. He tried hard, but was worried about people being faster than he was, so then he would kick the ball as hard as he could so that he could "win." When it was time to go Brayden got upset and wanted to run some more. He ran several more laps around the field. He was very hot and sweaty, but he had a blast! Here are a few pictures.

Tomorrow is the day...

Tomorrow I start my second year teaching 3rd grade, well, really my second year teaching period. I moved classrooms this year. I am now INSIDE the building! Yay! It was a huge undertaking to go through all the stuff that was left in the classroom and then move all of my stuff in. It took several weeks, but finally, it is all complete. I will post pictures later. I couldn't have done all of the work without my parents, cousins John and Jake, some help from Joey who works for dad at the farm, as well as a few other people. A huge "Thank you" to everyone who helped or gave me words of encouragement. I am excited about this new year and even though I am going to miss the summer, I have missed being around all the kids! And with the way that things are going in our economy I am very thankful to have a job!

Tomorrow Brayden begins his second year of preschool. He will be in the 4 year old class/yellow room. He is very excited to be in the yellow room. His teacher is the same teacher he had last year, Mrs. Laura. He adores Mrs. Laura and excited to see her. His other teacher Mrs. Michelle is teaching another class, and I know he is going to miss her.

This week Brayden will begin soccer. I have gotten his soccer shoes, shin guards, and socks... that was interesting since I know nothing about soccer! I am so excited about him playing. I will post some pictures of that as soon as I get some!

So, as you can see this week starts several new adventures for Brayden and I. We are excited and I hope to have lots of good pictures to come!
