It's a BOY!

So, what do you think?

Just for kicks

We love soccer. I love how at Anson's age it should be called "bumblebee soccer" because everyone just follows the ball like a swarm. There seems to be no organization to it, no rhyme or reason, except run and kick the ball. Anson loved being the fastest one out there. I am glad my boys like to run so much!

Anson loved being the goalie.
Ella was a permanent spectator, although at times she would have enjoyed playing much more. Several times she would try. I think she is going to love soccer! She already kicks the ball around.
I had the fun of coaching Tanner's team this year. It was quite an experience. With such a competitive spirit myself, I tried to restrain that and encourage the kids to do their best and have fun. I think I was successful. It was a lot of fun to coach the team. The games have a bit more organization then the younger teams and they get more of the concept of defense and offense. Tanner was a star player (and I'm not saying that as his mom) He and 2 other players could rock the field together... he was definitely the fastest out there, and boy does he love to run!

It was a fun season. The boys received medals at the end of the season... which they are so proud of. I am proud of them too. Soccer is so much fun.

Halloween...

Pumpkins, Scones and more...

Tradition in October starts with a trip to Pumpkin Day at Coldwell Banker where Grandpa Call works. Every year they give away free pumpkins, play games, eat food, and play on the antique fire truck (which has a VERY loud horn.) The kids never want to miss it, it is a highlight for them. Ella thought she could not only carry a pumpkin for herself, but one for ? her doll maybe? She loves pumpkins and even after we had loaded all the pumpkins up that we were in need of, she was still trying to drag more out. I think they just have the perfect handle for a little girl.

The boys LOVE seeing Rhubarb, the Rainier's mascot.

Sometime after the pumpkin hunting, we gather together with some brave soul's and carve pumpkins. This year Travis & Jaqui and the Turner's came over. (Unfortunately the Turner's didn't seem to make it into any of the pictures, but really they were there!)

Everyone's favorite part... the fresh, hot, delicious, melt in your mouth, homemade scones. We even enjoyed them with homemade jam assortment. It was heaven. I could eat those every day. I should make those again soon. yumm.

Do you see any resemblance?
