Rain...Rain...Go Away!

I was hoping to have some soccer pictures to share this weekend, but yesterday's soccer games were called off because of rain. Carter didn't get any action on the field last season, because of his own stubbornness. However, after a little trickery during the first game of the season, he's been playing and having a great time.

Next weekend, his soccer game ended up being at the same time as his birthday party, so we'll have to miss that. So we just have one game left for the season. It's been a lot of fun to watch him! He's scored 4 goals in the 2 games they have played so far...altho they don't keep score.

Caden's Program

Caden's class at the Y had a program on Thursday night. They sang about 15 songs and did a special alphabet song at the end. That is his teacher Suzie in the picture above.

For the alphabet song, they said the letter that their name starts with and another word that starts with that letter. Here's Caden:

He said "C is for Caden and Cars"...I think only Suzie could hear him right here, but he's practiced on us since the event. He is holding a paper with a C on the front and a car on the back.

Ouch!

Poor Carter took a spill down the bus steps on Wednesday and scratched up his nose and forehead. Poor guy! I stopped by the Y to check on him after it happened and he was trying to be so tough and brave. He was a little unsure of going to school the next day with the battle scars on his nose....

Caden's Birthday

It is hard to believe that our little Caden is now 4 years old. Here are some pictures from his birthday...

Great Grandma Hahler made the bunny cake for Easter, so we put some candles in it for Caden's birthday. He hid under the table while we sang Happy Birthday, but did a great job blowing out the candles. Later on at Esser Grandma and Papa's house, we tried the candles again, but he wasn't up for it.
