Birthday Weekend

Dayton and I celebrated our birthdays a few weeks ago on the 5th and 6th of September. It was a great weekend with cake, balloons, and presents. Kyle did a great job with surprises for both of us. I got just what I wanted... breakfast in bed, taken out to dinner without the kids, and a new ring as a great surprise. Dayton got just what he asked for, but it was not much of a surprise because he told people for days that he was getting a scooter. And lucky for him he got it.

Here is Dayton riding his new scooter. He practiced in the house first. As we ate dinner that night he had to go to the bathroom so he rode the scooter to the bathroom and then back to the table.

Soccer is Back

Dayton started soccer again Saturday and did awesome. The night before I asked him if he was excited and he said, "ya and I think tomorrow I will score 5 goals". I laughed and said that sounds like a good plan.

He was excited about his new shirt with a number on the back. Kyle was excited that the number was 2...(Jeter reference). We all like the bright neon yellow.

Dayton waisted no time going after the ball and the goal. He had a goal within the first minute of the game. Kyle and I were so excited for him and he came running up to us all excited. That was just the start, he played most the game and did great.

I guess playing in the spring helped him out more then we knew because this time he seemed to know what he was doing and took off. This is him showing us how many goals he has, the number being 8. We could not believe it, I guess a little experience goes a long way.

First Day of Pre-School

Yesterday was Dayton's first day of pre-school. It is just down the street so Dayton wanted to ride his bike there. His teacher said it was a good first day.

Dayton needed a book bag so he picked this one, because it is his favorite color. He also got to take cup cakes for his birthday and was the class leader.

Here are all the kids in his class. Every day they start by practicing their name. If you look close you will see the back of Camire in the white shirt. She took some kids seat and started coloring on his paper. She was not happy to leave and screamed the whole way out of the house.

Dayton hard at work... I am a little worried for his teacher because most of Dayton's friends are in this class so I am not sure how much work was being done. But when I picked him up he said he had a great time.
