Tha Bombs

Braden is playing soccer this season with the Gilbert Youth Soccer Assoc. The boys have orange jerseys and chose to be called Tha Bombs! Too funny..I guess this is the name you get when you let a bunch of kindergartners decide!!
Braden had his 1st soccer game this week! He had so much fun playing and did a really great job with it only being his 2nd time playing with a team! He was so cute on the field, he had smile on his face the entire time! The coach even emailed me and said how AWESOME he did for it being his 1st game!


Way to go Braden!

Dr. Alva's All Stars

Blake was chosen by his preschool teacher Ms. Jenni to be one of Dr. Alva's All Stars (student of the month) for the month of January! Ms. Jenni is so pleased with how well Blake has been behaving in class. Keep up the good work Blake!

San Tan Scorpions

Today the boys had their first day of school! Blake is in Ms. Jenni's AM preschool class, and Braden is in Ms. Morganroth's full day kindergarten! The boys are so excited to be going to school in a new neighborhood and meeting new friends!
Braden you are growing up too fast for mom! I can't believe you are starting kindergarten and will be gone at school all day! I am so excited what your school years will bring!

Crazy Nap Schedule

Since I started my crazy night schedule I HAVE to take naps some days of the week. Well the boys mostly oblige and are very good about taking naps and do not cause havoc when I am sleeping. One particular day however, they did! I wake up to Blake handing me toys, of course! I get up and Braden has my camera, I'm like Braden we don't play with moms camera. Braden says well Blake was getting into things and getting into your purse and stuff so I was taking pictures of everything he was doing so I could show you when you woke up!! Oh well in that case...thanks Braden...way to look out for mom!

Just a few of the pics....
this last pic was when Blake came in and finally got me....about 30 pics later!

Bike Swtich

Braden got a big boy bike for Christmas...it is a 18" and kinda big for him to learn to ride with no training wheels. Blaker hopped on Braden's big 18" bike the other day and could actually ride it! We decided to let Braden take the training wheels of Blake's bike and try to learn that bike since it is smaller and closer to the ground. After about 20 minutes of Josh starting him off and holding the back of his seat...he did it! Now Braden is doing awesome riding the little bike and no longer needs any help at all! In a few weeks we hope to let him try his BIG boy bike with no training wheels so the boys can switch back. In the meantime the boys don't seem to mind the new bike switch!

I pledge allegiance...

Braden just loves preschool and surprises us everyday with new things he learns. It is a weird thing when your kids start learning things from others that mom and dad didn't teach them. I'm still getting used to that! I will be like oh where did you learn that...at preschool mom! One day in the car ride home Braden recited The Pledge of Allegiance, it caught Josh and I both off guard...so we just had to record it!



Don't mind the crazy mom voice in the backround!

Preschool

Today was Blakes first day of preschool. He just turned 3, so I'm a little sad to see him go, but it will definately be good for him! Blake will be going to the Barely Bears Tues-Thu for just a few hours in the morning. I'm hoping preschool helps Blake with his vocabulary and help teach that little booger to sit still! Blake was excited about his back-pack and even packed trains in it! Braden was so cute, he did not want to drop Blake off, but understood :)
