More Soccer Fun

The girls continue to enjoy Wee Soccer at the Centre on Monday nights.  We have lucked out with this beautiful fall weather.  We have one more week until it's over.  I am sure we will be moving onto gymnastics again with the winter months coming up.

11 Years Strong!

Lance celebrates our first date anniversary every year and he's so great about making it special.  He says it's his favorite day, which is sweet.  I had to take some pictures of the roses he got me because the red ones have bloomed and are so beautiful.

First day

Yesterday's bloom!

Halloween Costume Preview

The girls went to a boorthday party at their friend Lauren's house and were excited to show off their Halloween costumes for the costume contest.  Bailee is a rainbow unicorn (yep, they actually make that costume) and Aftin is a rainbow skeleton (again, they actually make these costumes).

Fall Camping at its Best!

We had one last camping trip of the season and spent it in Black River Falls 4-wheeling with Michelle and Buddy.  The weather was beautiful and more like summer than fall.  I made chili and cornbread muffins for the occassion and we put on quite a few miles Saturday before heading back home on Sunday.  We did stop and watch the Packers WIN in Eau Claire to break up the ride, so more good food and drinks were had there.

The guys were ready to go, waiting on us.

Bella joined us, it's a hard life for this one.

School Picture 2015 - Aftin's First Try

 We had a hard time with our first try at school pictures this year with Aftin.  It was in the evening and she was really tired/upset about having to wear something other than her frozen sandals.  So she was teary and very warm before pictures.  Well it showed when we got them back and we saw the tear smear and her fake smile.  So we have done retakes since, but I had to share the first try since this picture is one in a million.

A Night Out = Tesla, Foreigner and Def Leppard

 I went to the Tesla, Foreigner and Def Leppard concert in early October with Tessa, Taylor and Richard.  It was one of the best concerts and brought me back to my big bang hair days.  Definitely worth the lack of sleep and having to go to work the next day.

Around and Around They Go!

The girls and I went shopping with their friend Payton and her mom Amber recently.  We go to Maplewood Mall because I like going to H&M for the girls, but then we always end up on the carousel after.  It's hard to see but Aftin and Payton are on top and Bailee decided to try something different this time on it.

Twinsies!

Tamara and Sawyer came to stay overnight while the boys were up north at the beginning of October.  We didn't realize it but we bought the same pj's for the girls.  Aftin and Sawyer were twinsies.

 

Aftin can't get enough of baby Sawyer!

Turkeys and More Turkeys

We continue to have different animals and fowl come into the backyard from the back acreage.  Hard to see but here are a bunch of turkeys that were grazing for a while.

Wee Soccer

The girls continue to like Wee Soccer through the Centre.  It's been great weather, so I have enjoyed being outside watching them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The BIG 4-0 Party!

We celebrated Lance and I turning the BIG 4-0 back in September when the weather was still beautiful.  We had so many great friends and family come and welcome us into this new decade.  We are very blessed!

Had to rent a bounce castle
