October weekend in Virginia

Mommy and the boys took their first road trip from Charlotte to Virginia last weekend.  Everyone had a blast with fall activities while mommy helped host a baby shower for Auntie Allison.

Nolan's Halloween Carnival

Had a blast at Nolan's Halloween Carnival at preschool today.  Mommy helped out with one of the games and was so excited when Nolan's class came in for their turn at some fun!  He got lots of candy and did great at the games.

First field trip!

Ardan has his first school field trip last Friday to the Anne Springs Close Greenway in Fort Mill.  They played in a corn maze, climbed on hay bales and brought home a pumpkin. (Photo: prepped for field trip day!)

Baxter Fall Fest

Had so much fun at our first Baxter Village Fall Fest!  The kids loved all the bouncy houses and free goodies.  Daddy even won some money in a money wind tunnel.

Last soccer game

Nolan gearing up for his last game.

... and this is how he spent the whole hour of it....

sitting on the sidelines with Daddy refusing to even touch a ball.  Hohumm, I guess we will try again in a year or 2 silly guy.

Ever since Nolan's school picture day he often requests wearing this bow tie to school.

Today Ardan got to dress up as a community helper and chose a construction worker because they build buildings and roads in the community.

Soccer 9.30.2017

Nolan did great for the first half of soccer this week.  First time he has kicked the ball all season!  Nanny and Great Nana were even there to help cheer on Nolan and Liam (who for the actual game mostly layed in the grass or sat on the sidelines).
