Fall is Finally Here

I love fall. It's my favorite time of year. I love the changing leaves...which we obviously don't get here, so we've been trying in lots of other ways to get into the festive fall spirit. It started with the pumpkin chocolate chip cookies which I can't seem to stop making and the kids have been enjoying making all kinds of fall crafts. It's been fun being able to go outside more now that the weather has cooled off. Here are some of the things we've been up to!

Lily just finished up her soccer skills class. 

She did finally warm up to the idea of soccer and did really well !

Jack received the Hawk award at school. 

It's an all around good character award given to one student from each class !

This handsome guy lost TWO teeth about three days apart !

Kami threw a baby shower for Miss Lacy (who is coming so soon) !

               Lily went to the fire station with her preschool class ! The tour was a blast, and at the end the firemen got a call and we got to watch the fire truck take off with the lights and sirens !

Dad has still been having fun with his facial hair.

Having fun with Dax before his SUPER LONG trip to Texas ;)

Lily and Dax at the AZ Science Center.

 Lily has loved having her big brother home for fall break. For one of our family outings we went to Montezuma's Castle. It's just up north about an hour and a half. It was a really fascinating site, even for the kids !

                Mr. Jack set a personal record of three goals in one game. He figured out how the dribble around people, just like dribbling around the cones in practice. I love it when we see things click with these kiddos, it's so much fun watching them learn and grow.

The weather has been cooling off so much it's forced Lily to pull out her winter stuff.

Crazy Arizona kid. :)

Mom has been enjoying dressing the kids up in their October threads. :)

Lily is loving preschool. We did pumpkin reports this last week and it was so much fun.
