More of the same...

Another crazy week flies by. Nater's week was full with soccer and basketball practices. He fit band practice and crossing guard in there too. The weather was nice this week so he and his friends Zane and Drew rode their bikes up to the basketball park. I'm not ready for winter weather! Nater scored a beautiful goal today as the Orange Crush tied 4-4.


Garrett's big thing lately is reading. He is a phonics-master!! He read through a whole series of Bob Books (a series for beginning readers) and as promised when he finished I told him I would buy him a new Bakugan (yet another line of toys the kids must have - the most recent version of Pokemon or Yugi-oh). He had his third soccer practice/game today and he still LOVES it. He scored a goal and his team won. He was pretty happy.

It was a great day for soccer. Sunny and crisp but not too cold. After both games, Quinn went fishing on the Snoqualmie River in Chad's new boat. The boys and I came home a made lasagna and brownies, then played board games. Pretty awesome day!!

The big news for Quinn and me this week was putting an offer in on another timeshare week at Peterson's Waterfront in Lake Chelan. We're waiting to hear if the owners accept the offer. It's for the week right before school. I really want it (crossing my fingers!).

Soccer and lost photos!!

Garrett had his very first soccer practice on Saturday. HOW CUTE IS HE!!!!! I took at least 100 pictures. Unfortunately, all but 6 of them disappeared from by memory card - along with pictures from the pumpkin patch and playing at the river. Just writing about it makes me want to cry! Luckily I didn't lose them all.


Nathan had a soccer game on Saturday too - in the pouring down rain. It was a really close game but we lost by one. The kids played so hard.


Nathan played goalie for most of the game. He took a hard one right in the chest. So hard you can see the imprint of the ball on his jersey! He's crazy tough!


This is where I would post our beautiful pictures from the pumpkin patch (I got some really cute ones too) - so sad! The silver lining...we get to go back to the pumpkin patch again (Quinn's idea - although I think he was just trying to get me to stop whining!). That means more pumpkins (and more yummy homemade donuts from the farm!).
