Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas to everyone! We are looking forward to seeing everyone. I think we may actually set a record for the family we will see in a four day period!
I know it has been a VERY long time since I blogged last. I apologize for the delay. Well, I am not going to try and update about everything but I will give you some of the highlights.
Colton is doing very well in 4th grade. He seems to really like his teachers. He has his main teacher, Mrs. Groce, his math and science teacher, Ms. McNeil, and his AIG teacher, Mrs. Ligon. In 4th grade they do "teaching blocks". He goes to one teacher (Groce) for some subjects, switches classrooms and has another teacher for 2 subjects (McNeil). He seems to be adjusting well.
His fall soccer season finished up in November. They were a very young team and won their division. Colton was the goalie and had a fantastic season. They also finished in 2nd place in a tournament in Myrtle Beach. That was a fun weekend! He has decided to take a break from soccer this winter (will play again in the spring), so he will not be playing indoor soccer this year. Instead, he will be playing basketball! We are excited to watch him play! Our family friend (one of Colton's soccer teammates' dad) is going to be his coach, which Colton thinks is great...wait no he said it is awesome. So everyone will have a picture of Colton playing a different sport! I think my dad is going to help out and be the assistant coach too! It is amazing what a difference two new knees make!!!
Matt played in an adult Hispanic soccer league. We attempted to learn some Spanish, but only know a few words. We wanted to get the Rosetta Stone collection, but the price for that is ridiculous! Any way, Matt was a HUGE hit and everyone loved him! Well, I should say at first they were very apprehensive of him but now they love him. His team won their division (as Matt calls it...the old farts league) and Matt was voted by his team as the MVP of the season. He received the big trophy! Colton thought that was pretty cool. Matt is still coaching the youth soccer team and is now a member of the SASL (the local soccer association) board.
Me...I have been the cheerleader for my boys. I go to all their practices (Matt's team didn't practice) and games and cheer them on. I was/am the team manager for Colton's soccer team, too.
If we aren't out at a sporting event, we are just hanging out together. I will post some pics of some recent events today as well. We have been participating in all of the Christmas festivities, traditions, etc. Colton has really been getting into the Christmas spirit. Be warned though as he has gotten sentimental as well. We are going to the Polar Express in 3-D at the Imax theatre this Saturday!!! We are looking forward to it...well Matt not so much as he says that the movie freaks him out a little.
Well I will post some pics next!
