Finally Fall

Our cute little pumpkin visited the pumpkin patch this weekend

Daddy helped W pick out the perfect ones

Decisions, decisions...

Sweet siblings

Yay for fall

And here are some other highlights from our weekend at Keke & Poppy's:

Caroline doing what she does best: strolling

W and his favorite pasttime:  scooter-ing

Working on a project w/ Poppy

Finished product

Dentist

W went to the dentist today and was such a good patient

Meeting with the hygentist to go over all of her tools - and the importance of brushing and flossing

W and Dr. Matt - yay for clean, healthy smiles!

Go Tigers!

Wells had his first game this weekend (W is #7)

Orange Tigers v. Blue Sharks

Sweet friend Charlie scored the team's only goal :)

Caroline - on the sidelines and not very impressed

But we were so proud of these guys!

GG's Birthday

GG had a big birthday and we were happy to help her celebrate:

Lalala-la, Lalala-la, Elmo's World

I had really forgotten about Elmo.  He's just been off my radar since Wells has become more interested in other characters.  But Caroline has brought Elmo back to our house in a major way.

It's the word she says the most times in any given day:  'All-moe',  'All-moe!' 
I was cracking up when we had to fill out a form for her preschool that listed her "interests" and it was the only thing Matt or I could come up with.

Dolls have been knocked out of their place in her baby stroller to be replaced by the furry red monster.

And then there are these slippers - that combine her two FAVORITE things...

...shoes AND Elmo! 

Life doesn't get better for Miss C!

Living the Good Life

Sometimes I think how lucky my little man is.

His weekend consisted of the following:

• Thursday afternoon bowling with his playgroup:

• Friday night dinner and a movie in a neighbor's backyard:

• Saturday birthday party with ponies:

• And Sunday, church Parish Day and another birthday party at My Gym (no pics)

He's one lucky guy!

A Little Ray of Sunshine

We are loving the sunshine and cooler temps. 

Sweet Caroline took a break to sit back and enjoy...

Charlotte Junior Soccer

W has moved up to the next level of soccer to Charlotte Jr Soccer:

Getting his gear on

He had his first practice Wednesday

W's team - listening up for drill instructions

Off They Go...

 Tuesday was the first day of preschool for Wells (5 Day 4's with Ms. Neilsen & Ms. Beckert).  And Caroline started on Wednesday (Older Toddlers with Ms. Tina and Ms. Jane)

Wells was so excited for his new class (lots of friends!), moving to the "big" playground at CCK (reserved only for the 4's and Kindergartners), and their class pet, a frog, that they decided as a group on the first day to name Skittles.  He's told everyone about Skittles whom they get to take turns caring for on the weekends.  He always leaves out the fact that Skittles is a stuffed frog (details, details...).

We were unsure how Caroline was going to react.  This one could have gone either way (and I was definitely betting there were going to be LOTS of tears).  But our sweet, smiley girl walked in with no fear (pacifier firmly in place), and her teacher said she loved every second she was there. 

Labor Day Weekend

We had a great weekend in the mountains with the Simmons.

A weekend filled with super outdoorsy fun for the boys. 

Hiking:

Stone Mountain

We all walked down ~200 steps to get to the falls (and back up :).  Here's W taking a rest with his Dad.

Camp Cheerio:

Checking out the cool camp that backs up to Keke & Poppy's neighborhood

Cute boys looking for horses

Caroline at Cheerio

Love W's smile

Canoeing down the New River:

Now...this trip got off to a rocky start - no pun intended (seriously Matt loves puns, and I wish he read this blog to get a laugh from that one) but was SO much fun in the end.

Blame it on the rain

Fishing:

Trying to get everyone to sleep...pulling out every electronic device in the house:

 Happy Labor Day!
