pics for dad

Sept fun!

 Parker has wanted for a long time to play soccer.  Well finally he gets his chance.  It is amazing what happens to parents when their children do "stuff", they get a little crazy, us included!!  The other parents reassured us that although Parker has probably missed the formative years in establishing his soccer career he will most likely catch up.  (haha little do they know he is a child prodigy and will of course be competing in the world cup at the ripe old age of 10!  haha ;)  )

He had a great time and was so excited!  What else can us over exuberant parents ask for...oh of course 3 goals!!  Good job Parker!

 More Jacob CC pictures.  This is his team.  It is so weird to get used to a new team but these are some of the best kids we have been associated with and so I am so excited for him!

My mom has asked over and over for pictures of our house and I have waited for the house to be perfect and so of course in my quest to get everything done and my temper tantrum at having to move yet again and set up another house, my house is not perfect.  Tyson took some pictures of our house (125) so I took a few and if you can keep the judgements about the mess and lack of decor to yourself you can get an idea of some of it.  If you want to see more than come visit! This is our mailbox and the street in front of our house.  I am thinking fall may be very pretty here! 

 The family room, The best thing is the bank of windows and all you see out there is trees!  NO houses!  Love it!

 Kitchen and dining room.  It is smaller than we have had in the past but we will make do.  Maybe no more 100 people scones but I am ok with that.  I like the kitchen and the view of trees from my window.

Have a great day I know I will!
