Colton had a great month

Colton turned 9 on September 12th.  I can hardly believe he is already that old.  I vividly remember being scared out of my mind watching those towers fall on that infamous 9/11/2001 and going into labor.  9/11 was my due date but thankfully I got to enjoy 17 hours of labor with him and he wasn't born until September 12th.  :)   

Colton was completely embarrassed when his grandparents, aunt, cousin, Mom and Carson showed up with lunch and cookies for his class.  His principle made him stand up on top of the table and the whole school sang happy birthday to him.  It was great.   Colton loves being the center of attention...NOT! 

                  

He and Caitlyn ran track with the Land Sharks Running Club.  They both did great and won a lot of their races.  It is fun for them to be able to compete in sports together.  This was the first year that they were  not able to play on the same soccer team.  That was a huge bummer, 2 different fields and 2 different teams is a lot to manage.    











Colton was awarded the MVP of his soccer team this year.  He was pretty excited about that.  He is a great little athlete and really gives his all when he is competing.  It is very important to Colton to always try his hardest in all that he does.  His school work is no different and I know that quality will benefit him all throughout his life.  He does not like to procrastinate and hardly ever has homework because he likes to get it done at school.  If he doesn't get it done at school he will finish it in the car on the drive home.  (this is definitely NOT a quality he got from me :) !! ) 

One of my favorite parts of the month was when Colton did the incline with me.  I love, love, love doing things like this with the kids.  It was the first time he ever did it and he did awesome.  We got a pretty late start and came down Barr trail in the rain and with it almost fully dark outside.  He loved it and is excited to do it again.
