Weekend!

We love the weekend!  Saturday both boys ended up getting new AL hats and cheered the Tide on to a victory!

We made it to early church so we could get early naps because Sunday afternoon was SOCCER!  The best thing I can say about our first soccer game is that it’s over!  🙂  My little soccer stud was super excited at first…

but then…well, they say there’s no crying in baseball but apparently there is crying in soccer. Full story and pics to come…

Although, he did get to see Lila so the day wasn’t a total loss!  🙂

First, happy birthday to Maxwell and Spencer’s cool Uncle Keath this weekend!  Hope it’s the best one yet!

Second, check out this little stinker.

Check up!

One of Maxwell’s other favorite gifts from his birthday was his doctor kit.  After playing fireman outside for a long time the day of his party, he decided to cool off by coming inside and giving everyone a checkup!

He would listen to our heart (or belly!), check blood pressure, look in our ears/nose/eyes, give a shot and then fix us up with a bandaid!  Luckily everyone checked out as healthy!

I leave you with this little diddy from Doc McStuffins…one of Maxwell’s faves!

Time for your checkup! Time for your checkup!
I’m gonna check your ears, check your eyes, find out how much you’ve grown.
Time for your checkup!
I’m gonna listen to your heart beat,fix you up, ready to go.
Time for your checkup!
It’s ok if you giggle. This will only tickle a little.
Time for your checkup! Time for your checkup!

Dr. Maxwell on call!

Practice makes perfect

As I mentioned yesterday, we went over to the elementary school field for a little soccer practice Sunday afternoon.  I knew it was going to start well when I had to wake Maxwell up from from his nap at 5:00…

Don’t they both look excited?!

Even though Maxwell took a little while to warm up…

Both boys also loved watching Dad show off a time or two!

Luckily there were not shots to the head (or bottom!) in this game!
