First Hair Cut

Camden had his first hair cut last week.  It was kind of spur of the moment.  Richard had been bigging me to cut it because the back of his hair was pretty long.  I took the older boys in because it was close to picture day.  Camden sat on my lap and was calm.  We mainly just cleaned it up on top and trimmed the back and shaved the sides.  It makes him look so big, cant believe how big hes gotten.

More soccer

The new club team Allison is on plays their league games in Arlington.  We play ten games from September through November.  Because my mom lives in Fort Worth we've been staying with her.  Its been really nice to see her and spend time together.  Plus my mom hasn't been able to watch Allison play soccer in a few years.  Our team seems to be getting in a good groove and Allison loves to play.

Saint Anne's Fair

Its family tradition to attend the Saint Anne's Fair every year.  But we had a game in Fort Worth this year.  We went Friday night to just the carnival portion.  Beckett was tall enough to ride everything.  The wristbands were worth every penny as many rides as our kids rode.  Sad we weren't able to experience everything the fair has but I can tell you next year we will miss soccer if we have to just to attend. 17 years strong attending the fair, I love you Richard and our lil family.

Cub scout

Our church supports the scouting program and runs the program with volunteers from our church.  Richard has been in scouts through our church for the past 14 years.  Once you turn 8 you enter the cub scout program.  So now our Wednesdays are field with scouts.  Its been fun to see Richard and Cooper leave together to scouts.  Recently Cooper received a badge and pinned me, he looks forward to every Wednesday.

Austin Soccer Tournament

Labor day weekend Allison had a soccer tournament in Austin.  We happened to stay in a hotel right next to the lake.  We had fun sightseeing and attending all her games.  My in laws even came and were such a help to us.  They watched the little boys so we could attend a team lunch with Allison.  We didn't place in the tournament but we enjoyed getting to know the team.

Back to school

Allison and Cooper started school, we now have a 6th grader and a 3rd grader.  Its surreal that Allison is in her last year of elementary.  Cooper seems so big as well.  They both have great teachers and I have a feeling it will be a great school year.  Beckett also started 4 year old preschool.  I can already tell he has learned a lot in the first few weeks.  I am excited to see what this school year brings.

Summer's over

The last month of summer flew by.  We did a lot of swimming.  My best friend her her kiddos came for a visit.  We hung out with friends.  Went to lots of soccer practices.  My sister came visited for almost a week.  Allison did a lemonade stand.  We went to the skate park with Cooper's friends.  It doesn't feel like we did a whole lot this summer but than again we were constantly busy.
