Go Tarantulas!

Ryan started soccer today.  It is hilarious to watch 5 year olds play soccer.  One big group running around the field.  They are required to wear shin guards and I can see why.  

They practice for 30 minutes and then play a 30 minute game.  They play 3 on 3 against another team with no goalie.  It is just right for these little guys.  Ryan loved playing and was running up and down the field having a great time.

Mabel -18 months


Mabel and her best friend Andrew-  they are already becoming cute playmates.
Her new big girl bed...we don't actually plan on having her sleep in it until after the baby comes.

Mabel had her 18 month appt. today and I guess she isn't as small as we thought:

Height:  32 inches, 50%
Weight:  22.6 lb., 20%
Head:  55%

She started nursery and loves it!  I thought she might actually be our kid who cries when we take them to nursery, but she ran in, sat down and smiled.  I guess we really do make church that awful for all of our children, because they have all RUN into nursery and never looked back!

Sandia Man Cave

We took a hike to the "Sandia Man Cave" on Monday.  It was the perfect length of a hike for our little guys and a beautiful drive.  Plus, Ryan had actually specifically requested seeing a cave so his Dad found him one.
Ryan had wanted to go further in, but we didn't bring any flashlights.  Not that I would have gone much further anyways.
Spencer took the kids off the trail to climb some rocks..
Then I hear him call to me from about 30 feet up standing on the edge of a cliff with our small children.  
And we had Mabel wear the boys old shoes.  
Happy Hiking Day!

and then there was 1...

Look who gets to go to school too!
Andrew and his awesome teacher Mrs. Lindsay
The school doesn't look like much from the outside...but it's a great preschool and Andrew thinks it is so much fun already.  Now what are Mabel and I going to do while Andrew is gone??  Good thing it's only 2 mornings a week!
