'Big Girl Bed' here we come!!

Well, Bella has been climbing out of her crib for about the past 6 weeks. On Sunday Aaron was going to get her out of bed and he had to go into the living room to check on Eli and he was gone for 20 seconds and in that 20 seconds Bella climbed out of her crib. So we decided it was time to make her crib into a toddler bed. She has been in the toddler bed for almost a week now and we have definitely had our fair share of trials with this. When it comes to nap and bed time if she doesn't want to go down she thinks its a free for all in her room. Which means that she empties her drawer and throws everything onto the floor. Here are some pictures of her sleeping in her big girl bed and the mess that she created before she decided she was tired.

Its SOCCER time again!!!

A few weeks ago AJ started playing soccer again. This time around he is actually playing competitive soccer, well kind of they do not have practices but they do keep score at the games. He loves it, AJ is very competitive and loves playing with his teammates. He is really learning the basics of the game. He usually averages one goal per game. Unfortunately they did not divide the kids up very well. Some of the teams AJ is playing against the kids look like they are in the 2nd or 3rd grade, instead of Kindergarten and 1st graders. There team isn't the best but they are learning to play together very well. This last game they actually tied the game at half-time. Here are some pictures of AJ playing from 2 weeks ago.
