Good thing I am wraping up September in the middle of October! September was a fun month - it flew by with all of the kids games and practices and Mike's 4 trips. We had on average 12 games or practices a week! It was hectic at times, and what was the hardest for me was not being able to have decent family dinners, but it was very fun to watch them all. They each love playing and want to play soccer and football again, so I am sure we will do this all over again in the Spring. The silver lining was how beautiful the weather was - it made sitting at all of the games very enjoyable. I am looking forward to a little break in November and December - funny that December can actually be looked at as a "down" month.
Nate and Ryan being silly!
I had a great birthday, Mike was able to get home early from Vermont, and he brought me flowers, balloons, and a yummy cake. The best part was that it rained so hard all of the kids practices were cancelled for the night, so we could just be at home - that was the best gift ever.
Kristin made me a yummy cake the night before my birthday and Jordan and Amber came up to her house. It was fun, Ryan and Adam were little partners in crime as they figured out how to get all of the chocolate chips off the top of the cake!
This was our own little "pumkin patch" we grew in the back yard. Thanks to the gardening class I took at our Stake, we were able to finally kill off the squash bugs - hooray! We got a lot of mini pumpkins and 9 big pumkins. My favorite part of the garden was the strawberries, they were awesome, it was nice to have fresh strawberries every day. Ryan especially loved them.

Reagan had a soccer game in Hyrum one Saturday, so we took the chance to drive around USU, visit Mindy, get some Bluebird chocolates, and of course get some Aggie Ice Cream. I had forgotten how yummy it is, Ryan obviously loved it and couldn't even put his down for the picture. I love Logan! Every time I am there it brings back so many good memories, and the drive through Sardine Canyon is always spectacular to me!
Your kids are cute, cute! Thanks again for housing all of us last weekend. You guys are great hosts! It was so refreshing to spend time with you and the other girls. Crappy reason to get together...the "reunion" went WAY to fast...wish I could have stayed longer! Love you Erin!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad soccer is almost over too! Ryan was Coop's coach and did both Savannah's and Coopers practices. It will be a nice break. So good to see you the other day. Your kids are so cute- look at all that blonde hair.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks amazing. I can't believe I forgot your birthday. I am so sorry. I am glad you had a somewhat relaxing evening. We are just finishing up soccer and football for Carson. He just asked if he could do indoor soccer and basketball. I said no. He is going to have to pick one.
