Bennett's FIRST Soccer Game!

Nothing like starting out the season with a 98 degree day for soccer!  We had two games today: 11 am and 1pm.  HOT HOT HOT!!  Logan's team played first and by the time they were done, we were all roasting and we weren't even sure if Bennett would play.  He hesitated when his team took the field, complaining that he was too hot.  (We all felt the way he acted - it was miserable!)  But he got it together and had a great first game!

Hot on the sidelines with freezy pops and friends.

There's Bennett knelt over and ready for action!

Go #6!

Bennett had a blast.  He was a natural and scored a goal!!  He did so awesome!

Cutest soccer fan ever!

Go Gophers!!

Eden is 18 Months! (gasp!)

Eden is one and a half.  Last year this seemed so far away...to have a toddler!  Now she is bouncing off the walls, running everywhere, talking up a storm, and keeping us all on our toes.  John often says, "Eden, the world is your playground" - she loves life, fun, and her family.  

Me and my girl - 18 months!!  Wow!

Here she is: walking into her appointment like a big girl.  18 months going on 18 years.

She is so big (yet much smaller than the boys at this age) and so cute!  Look at those pigtails!!  Love!!

FIRST DAY of school 2013!

We have all been super excited about school this year: Logan in his second year of Children's House at Montessori (Kindergarten), Bennett in his second year of preschool!!

Eden insisted on wearing her down coat...she is in a dress up phase!

Seriously!!  I dropped Logan off and he was like, "Mom you don't need to come to the line with those other parents, I know what I'm doing".  and just like that he became a teenager!  Crazy!

We met Daddy for an after school treat to share our adventures of the first day!!

Day Before School

Summer was so great and while we are sad to see it go, we are excited for the adventures of this new year!  We decided to end summer on a fun night with a bonfire and s'mores with the boys.

Eden was already in bed for the night so John and I enjoyed some special time with these big kids!!

Flip-flops 4-evah.

Yum!  Bennett eats about 1/2 a s'more, Logan could eat 5.

The boys found themselves lounging on the bricks...

we overheard them having big talks.  'Cause that's what brothers do.

Precious moments this summer with our kids.  Can't wait for more...

End of Summer FUN!

Summer wound up in a hurry!  Here are a couple snapshots from the end of August!

We love picnic lunches outside!!

Cheese!

Scheels in Eau Claire - three perfect smiley kiddos.

Logan loves his new baseball glove!

Our friend Reese came to play a couple days...

And soon it seemed to turn to fall...

Long sleeved pjs and Benny reading his "favorite book" - the Bible (total PK, right?)

Logan totally jazzed about school!!

Eden's personality is a ball of fun!!
