Happy Birthday Ace!

I am a day late posting this due to a certain little birthday boy playing games on my tablet:) I can't believe that my little boy is quite the big 4 year old boy! Ace is sweet, smart, imaginative, and loving. He loves his brother, his new 4 year old preschool class, days at home with Momma, superheroes, drawing & coloring, and swimming. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for Ace to be so big, but I am excited to see what this next year brings!

Green Lantern:)

Ace loved his Hulk art for his room!

Pictures from the Last Month

I have tons of pictures from the last month! We had Halloween, the last of our soccer games, story time at the library, plenty of super hero days, and lots of schoolwork.

Brothers:)

Ace was moving in to score!

He loved threading his spiderweb.

Pumpkin Patch

Ace had a pumpkin patch at his school this year. The boys and I checked out all the pumpkins and found the perfect one to carve:) The boys each got a little pumpkin to take home too. After the pumpkin patch, we went to the children's museum.  We mostly played in the dinosaur dig. Ace loves the new baseball ottoman and glove chair!

Cute boy!

Being silly:)

Busy, Busy, Busy!

So sorry for taking so long to post! We have been so busy! The last two weeks have been filled with school, soccer practice, a soccer game, many TAMUC Lion sporting events, tons of artwork, and painting pumpkins. Ace has mastered potty training! He even goes in a public restroom:) He has been doing a great job at soccer practice! He did have trouble at our first game. Hoping there are no tears and lots of participation this Saturday. Ace is still kind of upset about going to school, but I think he really likes it once he's there:) He has been singing tons of songs:  Days of the week, Going on a bear hunt, Apple Annie, and Rise and shine most recently. He loves art! He is always so excited to show us his work:) He loves to write. He is great at writing his name and several other letters plus a few numbers. 

Both boys are pretty excited to show off their pumpkin ideas this year! More to come...

Dribbling at soccer practice.

Being sweet for Momma:)

Finally got a pic of crisscross applesauce & holding his bubble:)

He made a donut for "d" week.

Ace loves his chef's hat (toque) that he made at school!

Proud of his pumpkin!

He loved finger painting the leaves.

Big Boy Ace!

I am so proud of Ace! He finally decided to use the potty. He has been potty trained for a little over two weeks now. We are thrilled and he is so proud of himself! He still prefers not to go at school, but will if he has to. Huge improvement! He is liking school more, and he is so cute when he does crisscross applesauce and holds a bubble:) I wish I had a picture of that! He is doing a great job writing his letters, and we always love his art!

Pop and Polly came to visit last weekend for Daddy's birthday. The boys really enjoyed their time with them! Ace really likes soccer practice with Jett and Coach Daddy too. He actually played a good bit at practice this week. He did take an extended water break with Zoe, and Daddy wasn't too happy with him. Momma does think an hour is just a little bit too long for practice:) We are so proud of our big boy!

Sockman:)

Ace wanted Daddy to have superheroes. Ace colored them really well!

Daddy loved his card & gift.

Waiting for his turn.

Ace loves his Johnny Appleseed hat!

Beautiful C's & great coloring!

Preschool Isn't So Bad;)

Ace is finally starting to get the hang of this "school" thing:) Last week was better since it was a short holiday week. Monday was the first day with no tears. He now has 2 friends that I know of, Zoe and Madelyn, and he LOVES art! Art is his last activity of the day. Ace gets pretty upset with me if I try to pick him up before he is finished with his projects:) I'm just so happy that he really likes at least one part of school! We are still working on potty training. He went for the first time at school today...yay!

We really enjoyed our holiday weekend at G and Opa's house. Both boys were super excited to swim. They swam every day we were there, and we went to Jumping World for the first time. Ace really enjoyed running and jumping in the 5 and under area...not so much in the bigger area with Momma. So far, we've been to our first Lion football game complete with bounce houses, parachuters, and fireworks. Also, we've been to 2 Lion soccer games. Ace loved running around with Sophie! We are excited for our first volleyball game on Friday. There will be many more events to come!
