Game Day

It has been a long off season but today is game day! We are so excited and have worn orange all week! We are ready to cheer for Tennessee!

Kaitlin is so excited and decided that Pom Poms make her happy! It should be a fun season with her so happy!

She will be on the look out for the Chickfila cow on TV!

Colin loves the Vols too!

He looks so cute in orange!

 

 

We are ready for some football! It's great to be a Tennessee Vol! Even if we are the only Vol fans in Ohio!

Highchair milestones

Colin had squash this week for the first time and loved it! I know you can tell from the picture! He has been eyeing our food for weeks now so I think he is happy to be included in some food action!

He totally was eyeing Kaitlin and her pop tart in this picture!

 

He also had a successful sippycup attempt yesterday. Kaitlin was not easily transitioned to her sippycup but Colin did great on his first try!

 

I love how they are so different! I think Colin is loving the new things to do in the highchair!

All the new things have worn him out!

Kaitlin sings

We have been learning cheers this week for the big game on Friday! Here is our first practice of Rocky Top! We are moving to poms this week instead of stuffed animals!

Learning Rocky Top

Kaitlin sings

Kaitlin is learning so many new songs and she is singing some we sang when she was little! It is so fun to see this new side of her growing everyday!

Summer fun

Kaitlin loves ice cream but she had her first taste of cotton candy ice cream this weekend and it was a hit!

 

I caught Kaitlin giving Colin advice before bed last night! She was telling him " we don't bite our friends buddy! "It was such a sweet moment... She is so wise!

We tried to spend some time outside while it is still warm .. We know winter will be here too soon!

We tried a new church yesterday and we were so blessed to be welcome with such open arms! We had a very special lady give us a tour and help us check the kids into their rooms! Kaitlin was so sweet and told the lady how much she liked her dress! It was a small moment but my heart melted! Sweet Kaitlin! Kaitlin ran right into her class and waved at the teacher and introduced herself! This is a huge change from 2 years ago! Kaitlin cried and screamed at drop off every single week ! We were so so blessed that our church in Bentonville kept working with Kaitlin and loved her so much! She is a different child because of them and I am forever grateful!

Colin did great in the nursery too so I am a very thankful they both had great days!

Kory's high school team was on ESPN on Sunday so we were cheering for the Alcoa tornados! Kaitlin gt a little confused and was yelling Go tomatoes!

Goal!

Kaitlin did much better in her 2nd week of soccer! She followed directions and participated for about 30 minutes. They do all sorts of skill work and drills!

 

We also bribed her with a trip to the zoo if she did not cry in soccer! It seemed to work and Kaitlin did not cry once the entire hour!Kaitlin is on the left!

She lost interest the last 15 minutes but perked right up in time for a sticker from her coach! Kaitlin is standing on the goal! I am pretty sure that was not following directions... But it was much improved from her first week!

 

Then it was zoo time! It was crazy and really crowded but we had a great time!

Kaitlin and Kory practiced a little soccer this week and they had so much fun!

Big boy

This was Colin's first time in the jumperoo! He loved it! He would rather jump than anything else! I am thinking he may be more active than Kaitlin.

He loves to roll and he is ready to be on the move!

Colin was a little tentative about the jumperoo at first but he got the hang of it very quickly!

And jumped himself to sleep!

He loves Smokey

How did he get so big!

Testing out the high chair!! I know it will be a blink of an eye and he will be leaving for college!
