8 little pumpkins sitting on the porch

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.

Down by the Sea

John, Amy and Grace came for a visit earlier this week. We had fun hanging out with them and catching up. Tuesday morning before they had to go we took a quick trip to Seaside for Grace's first visit to the ocean. Alaina and Lila got to do some swinging on the beach. Thanks for coming for a visit J, A, and G! It was fun!

Mmmmm! Me want Brownies!

Rylan loves to pull himself up on the front of the oven and watch what is cooking!

Garden Beauties

Well, our garden is about at its end. We harvested a couple more veggies and lots of sunflowers. All that is still growing is our pumpkins. Here are some shots of the girls with some of the harvest.
