pUnKiNaZe!!!

we love the punkinaze! if you haven' been there you should go! thanks ticey for inviting us!

tysie

seriously nothing cuter than girls playing soccer! tysie loves it! she's an animal. (probably because she's used to her brother)

she scored 5 goals in her 1st soccer game! she's done really good every game (except for last week when we played the "bully" girls. who teaches kids to push when they're 4!)

she looked darling. i laughed when i was taking her picture cause all she cared about was the lady bug crawling around her hand. i love little kids!

dax

look who lost his front tooth!

love soccer! i wish dax would let me take better pictures!

its fun this year to see how soccer has changed. the past 2 years have been fun, but this year they are learning positions and most the kids can play! he got lucky and got an awesome team this year and knew everyone! he has his 3 school buddies which has been awesome. he's doing great!

jr. drill

our little dancer! its fun to see her doing something i love so much! jr. drill was a blast, and this year we got to have lots of neighborhood friends too!

corn day!

one of my best childhood memories are those of "corn day". i loved getting to spend time with grandma and grandpa and husking corn outside their house. it's fun to see my kids doing the same thing.

hali and kembrie mostly played and helped wash a little

karson got to come with us and him and dax were awesome helpers!

ridge tried just to eat as much as possible.

kids...

so many stressful moments as a mother...it has been a stressful night, and of course always by myself. i was struggling to get kids fed and bathed and tolerate all the tired screaming that was taking place. kembrie had just fallen and cut her lip and i was to my breaking point...i looked over cause i heard Ridge laugh., dax was rolling the football and playing catch with him. he'd roll the ball and ridge would catch it and throw it back and laugh his head off. i'm pretty sure a couple tears rolled down my cheek......
grateful for this little moment that made me remember why i love being a mother and why i love my kids so much.

tysie's off to preschool!

Tysie is off to her 2nd year of Preschool! she's so excited! (kembrie on the other hand it quite ticked...) tysie has so many thing starting this week, her first soccer game is saturday (more pics to come) and she dances at a football game next week and has her 1st dance class of the year. she can hardly wait!
