Hot Rod!

We have some friends who have a Mustang Convertible. This summer Christian saw it in their garage and immediately told me that he wants one of those when he grows up :) So our friends came and picked up Christian and McKenna one evening to take them out for ice cream and for a drive. Christian was THRILLED...in fact "thrilled" doesn't even begin to describe it. McKenna was a nervous wreck. ha! McKenna had a great time. She still talks about how loud it was. And I still feel blessed that God has given us dear friends who care about and love our kids.

Christian's Soccer Season

It's been the craziest soccer season thanks to the rain and mud! Christian moved up a level so he's now the youngest on his team, but he's holding his own. We've only had 2 practices and the rest have been make-up games because of games constantly being rained out. Christian had to play his first game before he had ever even had a practice. So far his team has won 2 games and lost 1. Not bad.

Wordless Wednesday!

My Little Reader

Let me set the scene:  I was driving Christian home from the bus stop when he spotted my parent's car in the driveway. He immediately whipped out his homework folder with his reading sentences in it. He jumped out of the car and took off up the hill to show them that he can read. I ran in the house and grabbed my camera and zoomed in on this sweet scene. I love, love, love it that he is so excited about reading!!! And of course my parents, being retired teachers, are just thrilled to be able to share in his excitement.

Rule Breakers....

Fall Tradition

Apple picking in September is one of my most favorite traditions. This year we almost missed it because September just seemed to fly by and I almost forgot. But I'm so glad we went. The weather cooled down just in time, so it actually felt like fall.

This is the first year that I didn't have to remind anyone not to pick up apple off the ground to take home(although I did have to remind the boys not to throw apples at each other! ha!).  Most of the red apples were gone so we picked lots of Golden Delicious apples and I must say...my apple pie was pretty delicious today.

Unfortunately things ended rather abruptly on a sad note. I guess that's just part of apple picking. There were tons of rotten apples on the ground that the yellow jackets were enjoying.

Happy Fall y'all!

Oh How the Years Go By......
