Spring Soccer

Carter has been dying to play soccer since he started talking.  The kid loves to run and loves to kick!  So we signed him up for soccer this spring.  And he loved it!

And it loved him!  He did very well and the coach really liked him since all the other kids wanted to get off the field and Carter didn't want to get off the field.  He scored a goal and performed a great goal "dance". 

We will definitely do soccer again...it was a great experience for us all.

April 2011 Recap...

My poor sad blog...life has been crazy for MANY months!  I guess it seems since Eli turned 1.  Yes he turned one...started walking...and got his own opinions.  So I am taking some time to try and catch up on the happenings of the Edwards family this last spring and Summer.  Her goes...

Chris was in a head on collission on March 23rd and totalled his 2002 Toyota Avalon.  He was fine...few bruises...and sore for a few days from the airbags deploying.  But he was OK.  We did get some x-rays to make sure, but he was fine.

Until about one and a half weeks later he started to feel bad, have pain on his head and get sores all over his head.  Ended up at the Urgent Care...sure enough...SHINGLES.  I know I thought it was for "OLD" people.  But my 31 year old husband got shingles all over his head and on his eye lid.


He was in a lot of pain and missed several days of work.  We all felt bad for him...but we also didn't want to touch him either:)  He had to see a opthamologist since they were on his eye lids...but thankfully there was no damage done to his eye sight.

It was a sickie month here though.  At the same time Chris was taking all his medicines for shingles, I got a sinus infection, and Carter had an ear infection.  At one point we were taking all of the medicines in the picture plus we had a script we didn't even fill.


After we all got healthy...we had Easter!  I made the boys matching ties, belts, suspenders, and a bow tie.  Chris even allowed me to make him a tie. 




We spent Easter afternoon at Grandma and Grandpa Edwards home.  We had delicious food as always and had an Easter Egg hunt in their back yard.  They boys had a great time.




Anytime the boys get to play with their cousins they are thrilled!  Carter especially!  Here he is with his cousin Brady Ward. 


Carter got some great eggs.  His brought home quite a loot with the money Grandma included in the eggs.  Thanks Grandma!

"Our Little Man Turned One" -Birthday Recap








Eli turned a year old on March 13th.  We had his party on March 5th.  He loved all of his gifts and thought the cake was OK.  Once he got dirty while eating his cake he was finished! 

At his 1 year checkup he weighed 21lbs and 2 ounces(23%tile), 30.5 inches long (71%tile) and his head circumference was 46.3 cm (46%tile).

He is all over the place, walking like  a champ around the house!  He climbs everything he possibly can including Carter's chair, the train table, the stairs, and EVERYTHING he can.  He says "dada" very well and gives his brother a run for his money.  

It has been a great year!

Spring is in the air...

OK so in Michigan it does not feel like spring and I'm not sure when it will but we are getting ready for spring.  Carter is all signed up for spring soccer and we just bough him new cleats and shinguards.


 He can hardly wait and wants to wear these around the house all day long.  If you want to make this kid happy...buy him sports equipment!
Now we just need to get his uniform.  No underwear on the field!
