Carson's wrestling match

As promised here is the video of Carson's wrestling match, Dave and I are a little excited.

time to update!!!

So I know it has been a really, really long time since my last blog and my apologies to all of you. The kids have been doing well and we are getting ready to welcome Colton into the family soon. Peyton had a dance competition in November and her group placed 3rd. Carson started wrestling and last night had his first pin of the season. We had a great Christmas and enjoyed spending time with Bob and Barb in November for our "Slates Family" Christmas tradition. Barb and I braved the black friday madness and got some really good deals. Pregnant and all, however it was a little harder the next day. We enjoyed having Thanksgiving with them and going to my uncle carl's as well. We were blessed to do it all over again with my family a month later. Mom and Dad spent about 10 days up here visiting and Kelly put on a wonderful dinner for all. This year we started an adult pollyanna and it was a lot of fun. The kids are doing well in school Peyton enjoys 2nd grade and is reading so much. She is reading chapter books that are over 300 pgs, I guess she takes after her daddy. At her conference in November she had some of the highest grades in the class so we are very proud. We have to laugh because socially she is testing her boundaries, which shouldn't surprise any of us. Carson loves his preschool and has made many new friends. He gets to spend 3hours a day learning numbers, letters, writing and obeying rules to get him ready for kindergarten. I have been coaching and enjoying having Dave as my assistant. We are in the middle of our season and each week seems to get a little bit harder.
We go on Monday for another growth scan to see Colton and how he is doing. It is the first time the kids will get to see their brother on ultrasound so they are very excited. We will keep everyone posted and continue to ask for prayers as he grows and develops.
