Sometimes I wonder what goes through this little guy's head!!

Our good friend Steve (for real, his name is Steve, just a coincidence!!) was baptized today! It was an exciting day for him and his family. I was happy to be able to share it with them.

Today was a day full of soccer with pictures starting at 7am for MG, then MG's game at 8, followed by JF's game at 11. I didn't have my camera with me and didn't take a picture of a game. This is a picture of one of GA's soccer balls...he seems a little obsessed with soccer and soccer balls since it is a pretty big part of our weeks right now. Kind of a weird picture for the day, but a part of our lives right now. (and once again one of those weird pictures that won't upload the right direction)

What an odd thing we came home to this evening after a birthday party...there were probably at least 15 cows, calves, and bulls in the road and surrounding area eating the grass at the entrance to our neighborhood. Weird!!!

This is JF's preschool...she LOVES school!

JF had her first soccer game of the season today! She was pretty timid out on the field, but did run hard to try and get the ball! :) I am not really sure she had any idea what was going on, but she sure was cute to watch. :)

MG is at the age now where her friends call and want to talk on the phone. She was on the phone for 45 minutes after school today with a friend from her class! Geesh!! :)

MG had a birthday party at the movies watching "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" in 3D, so I also took JF along and we sat in the back and watched the movie, too! It was a cute movie...both girls really enjoyed it!

MG had her first soccer game and did awesome...she scored two goals! :) She is #3!

I see this more times in one day that I would like driving back and forth to schools and errands! The entrance to our neighborhood...

GA loves to take my decorative balls and the Wii attachment for golf and "golf" while he tees off of a cup or bowl! He has quite the imagination since we have never taken him golfing! :)

"Steve" rescued this turtle from getting ran over on the highway yesterday! Meet Michelangelo, or "Mikey" as the kiddos call him. :) Cowabunga, Dude...hehe!!

I have been wanting to change GA's room and get him out of the toddler bed into a twin. I didn't want to repaint or anything crazy so I have been looking at this bedding/curtains at Target because it matches his walls and I can incorporate it in with his frogs. Well, it went on clearance so I bought it. Whatch think??

Football season is officially upon us. Seahawks on the TV and Fantasy Football League on the laptop. "Steve" is in heaven!!

MG playing the guitar and singing while JF and GA danced to the music!

Roxy got spayed yesterday and now she has to wear this lovely disc on her neck for the next 7-10 days so she won't lick her wound. She doesn't seem to mind it too much.

Soccer season for MG is now in full swing!

Trips to the doctor in Tucson always means fun shopping! Trader Joe's is one of my favs!! :)

Today we said goodbye to our dog, Rella. :( We have had her since she was 8 weeks old. She is a great dog but didn't get the attention she deserved from us. She was too big for the kids to really play with so she ended up outside a lot not getting much attention. Some friends of ours took her home and they are loving her! They have 3 rambunctious boys who are so excited to have her. They are spoiling her already! She will be much happier with them, which makes us happy for her!

Labor Day afternoon naps!

We took the kids to the rodeo today. MG even participated in the Muttin' Bustin' event. (riding a sheep!) It was pretty hardcore...MG is one of the few kids who didn't walk away crying after being throw from the sheep and stepped on or kicked. Those sheep are crazy!! :) We had a good time!

248/365

Soccer season started for JF today...MG will start practice next week!

247/365

We had a fun date night with some friends...Hibachi grill and sushi and The Final Destination in 3D!

Our storage ottoman has become a fun toy for the kids!

These little guys have been destroying our garden crops! They are huge from all the nutrition they have "stolen" from us! :) These pictures are of four different ones...who knows how many are out there!
