Trick-or-Treat!

Minnie Mouse, a friendly tiger, a headless lion, and a caterpillar were spotted tonight prowling the streets in search of candy. Rylan wasn't too enthused about the whole costume idea. He wouldn't wear the hood part of his costume at all. As soon as it was put on his head he would rip it off. He was adorable anyway. Here is a BEFORE candy shot of Rylan:
Here is an AFTER candy shot of Rylan: He did enjoy himself!
The kids have taken inventory of their booty and all agree they made out quite well!

Soccer Stars

Ryan and I volunteered to coach little kids soccer this year. We had lots of fun trying to teach preschool to 1st grade kids some soccer skills. Today was our last game so I had to get some shots of our soccer stars in their gear. They are already talking about playing again next year. GO GREEN TEAM!

The Ups and Downs of Toddlerhood

The life of a two-year old is so hard! Lila lets me know that all the time. The good thing about toddlerhood is that the tears are often very quickly followed by great moments of joy. From tears to big smiles.

Green Green Grass

We mananged to get grass seed in before September ended and now we look outside and see lots of little blades of grass coming up in what was once a mud prairie. That's our back patio and you can see the beautiful green coming in quite nicely! The girls are looking forward to being able to run through the yard barefoot this summer.
