I just can't believe how fast the time flies!!! I feel like I was just posting about our trip to Disneyworld, and already its been over a month! August was filled with fun and lots of new things for the Comte family.
Austin started KINDERGARTEN!!!!! It was quite the emotional day for me, although I don't know why! He did so great and has a great teacher. She's young and excited, which makes Austin really excited to go to school. He is so excited everyday to tell me all about CAMP (computer, art, music and PE) and everything he did...like buying his own lunch in the lunch line! He is just growing up WAY too fast and having so much fun doing it!!!
This was on the first day of school. Notice our dog Aggie in the background looking out the window like she wants to come with him!
This was the first REAL game of the year! Of course, he's wearing #12!! 
We did a lot of standing around at this game...we're just learning the basics at this point!
Austin loves having his Uncle D there to watch him play and teach him how to do things right! They spent much time in the living room after this game working on Austin's stance and tackling. I think Donnie enjoyed it as much as Austin!
My nephew turned one last week and they had a Cowboys themed birthday party...so we of course participated! Ignore this picture if you get a Christmas card from us!
I can't believe my baby boy is all grown up!!
Kayla was so excited that Austin was starting something new, too...but she kept wanting to give him hugs before he and I headed off!!
In addition to starting kindergarten, Austin started playing football! Practices went on all month, with his first game on August 29. We are still getting used to the tackling and everything that comes with football! We had given Austin the choice to play tackle or flag this year and he said he wanted to play tackle. WELLLLLL...Austin is one of the smallest and youngest on the team and he hasn't really been around "rough" boys (as he calls them!) He told us after one practice that he didn't understand why they had to be so rough. When I asked him what he meant, he said "I just don't understand why they have to push me around and tackle me!" When we finally explained to him that it was part of football, he started to feel better about it!
This was Austin at his first practice...before pads!
This was the scrimmage...Austin's team is in blue! I'm pretty sure that might result in a holding penalty!!
We're still working on going after the player who has the ball and not just someone standing on the field...as well as not tackling said person when you see them standing on the field!

Kayla is so proud of her big brother!

After the party, Austin, Joe and I went to the first Aggie game of the year...which was a W!!! After the game, we went down on the field and walked around. Austin even got to sit on the cannon and take a picture with some "real army men"! He was so excited. Then we walked over to where the players were coming out of the locker room to see a friend of ours and Austin met MANY of the players...he was SO excited!!!
