fall!

so I am still play catch up 

but only a few weeks 

fall sports are over

that always makes me a little sad

I love fall sports 

probably because they only last a few weeks and its during my favorite season

Both of our soccer boys ended up having a great season 
this was their first season with out Eric as the coach

Alex loves soccer
and he works extremely hard

he is a great midfielder
seriously that kid is everywhere!

 Grace always finds a way to entertain herself during her brothers games

Tyler plays defense and does a fabulous job!
Nothing gets by him!

for about a year Tyler has been asking to join our local running club

just because we never seem to have anytime we kind of help off for awhile

this summer when things were slow he joined up 

Happy boy!

running club goes the entire year 

during the fall they run a cross country style workout with races every Friday building up to their finals

Tyler placed 3rd overall and lead his team to a first place victory

GO Tyler!

this kids loves to run

Grace has been busy this fall to
she started preschool
she loves it!
the family was able to go to her back to school night

 her favorite center is the books

and because we can't go through fall without the baking
Gingerbread with homemade whipped cream and cocoa!
Oh yeah!

lets get ready to celebrate!!
my boys never think I do enough to make the house look scary

 they took over this year

 while the decorating was going on outside 

 the carving was going on inside

bad mom
I never got a picture of the finished pumpkins
that evening we went trunk or treating at the church

Happy busy times
