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.

Oct 1st Game Week

Carson had another great day. He scored another touchdown. Here is this weeks clip. He fakes a pass and then runs left.

Carson's First Touchdown 2011

Carson had his first touchdown of the season today. He is starting to show qualities of what a good leader and quaterback should be.

Franklin Twp Day

Franklin Twp day is a special day in our town. It marks the start of fall sports with soccer games, carnival games, food, fun, and fireworks. It is a great day to spend with friends and family. This year is especially special due to the remembrance of 10 years ago and the terrible events of September 11th.
This year Peyton performed with her cheerleading squad and dance team. Tomorrow both kids will have football games. Carson has his first flag football game of the season. He is super excited because his favorite coach, his dad, will be there by his side. Peyton cheers on her friends as they compete in their first game of the season as well. Here is a small clip of her Hello Cheer and Dance.

Back to School

September 6, 2011

It is time again for another year. Back to School. Carson with preschool and Peyton 2nd grade.

Carson is all ready for yet another year at preschool. One of the best decisions we could of made. He is so excited to start at Janvier Prebrysterian Church.

Peyton woke up bright and early ready to start the new school year. I guess we will see how long that lasts. Her 2nd grade teacher is Mrs. Eavis. We are looking forward to Back to School night to meet her.

And off they go....
