Weston's 3 year old class went on their first field trips at the end of September and beginning of October. First, we walked to the fire station. Then, on another day, we went to the Pumpkin Patch. Weston had so much fun, and I was so glad to be able to share these experiences with him.

It is football season, and Weston is in heaven! When we say prayers at night, he almost always says, "Thank you God for football game". Every time State scores, fireworks are launched. So one night Weston said, "Thank you God for fireworks that make Weston go 'woo'". He is a funny little guy. We are having lots of fun tailgating with friends again this year. Abby & Brent came to visit and we hung out at the tailgate together. That night Weston said, "Thank you God for Noah" and "thank you for playing football with Noah". I thought that was really sweet. We are so thankful for our good friends, the Carnathans. The next weekend, we went to watch an away game at the Ramels' house. Weston played with Ella Grace in her room. When I walked in, I found Ella Grace dressed like a princess, Weston wearing her tiara, and they were singing into a microphone.

First Day of School

Weston and Connor had their first day of school on September 6th. This was Connor's very first day of school ever, but Weston is now in 3 year old preschool. Weston is in Mrs. Becky's and Mrs. Leigh's class. He calls his teachers "Mrs. Mecky" and "Mrs. Wee". He is having lots of fun in his new class. Weston loves going to the treasure box on Thursdays. One of the treasures he picked out was a huge plastic pretend watch. He's been wearing it everywhere we go for about two weeks now. Connor is having a bit of a hard time adjusting to school. He is used to getting both a morning and afternoon nap. At school, the toddlers don't get to take their morning naps, so Connor has been really fussy for his teachers. I really hope his teachers will love him in time. He really is such a sweet little baby.

Connor turned one year old on September 1st. We celebrated his birthday at Orange Beach in lieu of a birthday party at home. It was so fun and relaxing! However, I took on making the crab cake instead of ordering one. I wanted to put a personal touch on his birthday. Let's just say that it was a labor of love! It was a 2 day process. Will helped me ice the cake and all the little twinkies we used to make the crab leg segments. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Connor loved playing on the beach and chasing sea gulls. Weston loved having tea parties in Mimi's condo and swimming in the pool with Daddy.
