Busy Week

 I feel like all I do is update our sports events during this time of the year.  However, I love these memories.  I know how quickly this time while pass, and I am so very grateful for the opportunity to be able to travel and attend their events.  I spent a couple of days in Alex City to watch everyone play, and I even got to squeeze in a dentist appointment with the big kids!  I'm back home now enjoying a little yard work.  I have managed to get 16 flats of pansies and fall plants in the ground.  It is always so hard to pull up the summer annuals, but I actually love the change and can't wait to watch the new plants grow.  We left one bed filled with Papa's chrysanthemums.  The are just about ready to pop open, and are always so pretty. The roses, ginger lilies, cannas  and even a few day lilies are still blooming.

Volleyball was a new adventure for Lillian.  I am amazed at how much progress she has made in such a short time!  I love watching her. She's just a tad competitive, and I like that!

Maddie played soccer when she was younger. She decided to refresh herself with rec soccer this fall, because her school is going to have a soccer team this season.  Let me tell you, the girl's got game.  They are so much fun to watch at this age.  If you had told me pre-Josh that I would be a soccer fan one day, I would have laughed.  I'm still learning, but I love watching!

Regular season ended this week for these two, and we are now headed to All-Stars.  Josh and Reed have made lots and lots of memories over the years with many more to come. Love watching him, too!

We had an all boys weekend last week.  So much fun!  Fishing, going down the hill, building forts, one last swim and more were on the agenda.  Reed actually spent one night with John Sawyer and Jack, and had a ball.  

Our big wheel adventures began when Lindsey and Caleb were little, and have continued with all of the grandchildren.  We have a different hill to go down now, and I think this one may be even more fun. Reed has just about outgrown the big wheels, but he was a great helper with the little ones.

Jack is the very best supervisor around! Love these boys so! 

This is actually somewhat of a slow week. I will be back in Alex City for a few days the end of next week.  I plan on enjoying this cooler weather and getting a little yard work done.  Look out bulbs-some of you are fixing to be on the move again!!
