Ruby's Birthday! #2!

Fall Fun!

Birthday for Daddy and Mommy

Since I last posted Noah and I have both celebrated our birthdays. Noah turned 28 and I turned 29. For Noah's birthday the two of us went golfing and then to dinner with the kids. For my birthday I got my hair done and then we went to Chilies. Noah's pictures seem to be missing, but here are a few from mine.

Cake! Cake! Cake!

My sister-in-law Meghan and I always talk about having a cake business one day. Our friend Natalie taught us how to make fondant a while ago and we made this....

Then for Ruby's birthday I found a picture online and copied it to make this.....

Fancy, huh? I was amazed that they turned out so well. We did ruin one batch of fondant, but all and all it was a good experience. It takes a lot of time, and builds muscles, and makes a big mess. But it is well worth it.

Soccer

We signed Levi up to play outdoor soccer this fall. He loved playing indoor soccer this past winter. He has matured a lot since then, and soccer is a lot more enjoyable. By coincidence he has the same coach, who he enjoys, and who has learned to handle all of his energy. So he has practice once a week and games every Saturday for the rest of the month. He is fun to watch and is a great little soccer player like his mom and dad were a long time ago. He has made friends with the kids on his team.

Isaac and Ruby also come to watch soccer. Ruby can frequently be heard yelling, "Go Levi, go!" or "No hands!" She is a great cheerleader. She also enjoys coming to soccer because she gets entertained with candy, mommy's phone, and playing games on mommy's ipod.

Mommy and daddy love watching him play and being together as a family.

Preschool Started!

Preschool started! I had been planning on doing a mom run preschool for some time. My friend Carrie and I were just going to do it with our 2 kids and then 1 their of Levi's friends.

The week that we were set to start some other moms approached Carrie and now we are happily in a preschool with 11 kids and team teach every 4 weeks. It has worked out great. Levi absolutely loves it. He is learning letters and letter sounds and having a ton of fun.

This is a picture from his first day of school.

On a funny side note. Before we started school I asked Levi what we do in school and he said that you paint and play toys. I don't think that he is disappointed that preschool has more to it, and because we have preschool at the church we don't paint. So this is after I busted out the finger paints for a pre-preschool paint session at home. He was sooooooooooo happy!

Levi's Names

I was not there when this happened, but Levi had given everyone in the house new names.

Bampa: Worker
Grams: Juice Box Babysitter
Noah: Wire
Chrissy: Fat
Meghan: Firk
Levi: Stupendable
Ruby: Ruby Poo
Isaac: Rock and Roll

He has also invented a interesting way to stretch this week that resembles a fish out of water. I will see if I can get the video on the blog. What a funny kid.
