Soccer Stars and a 6 year old

Hello, hello!  Stopping by for much overdue update!  Our school year has started off smooth and we are gradually getting use to our new busy schedule.  

Let's just start with some cute random pics of my favorite two little people.  It's crazy to think back to the beginning of the blog when it was just Bridget.  Sometimes I look at pictures and CANNOT believe how big they are!

Notice that somebody lost a top tooth!




Our pool is still open and we are enjoying the last days of it.  Our first "cold front" is coming tonight!

Our big kindergartener is a doing awesome!  She loves school, her teacher, her new friends...everything!  She doesn't always love Mondays, but who does?

She loves wearing her spirit shirt on Fridays and I love that she still lets me do her hair in pigtails:)


Both kids are doing soccer again and while the season started out a bit rough for Ross, we are finishing strong.  Ross just couldn't understand why people kept taking the ball from him!  The first few games he would just cry while running around on the field.  Other parents must have thought we were torturing him by making him play, but even through all the tears he never asked to quit!  He would just cry and run and look forward to his post game Gatorade!  Fortunately, this phase ended and he's loving it now and has even scored a few goals.

Bridget is a soccer super star and it's so fun to watch the kids her age play.  It's starting to get more competitive and all the kids are getting really good.  Of course, she loves scoring goals, but she is really awesome on defense and getting the ball away from the other team.

We love October for many reasons, but mostly because we have a Birthday Girl!  This year we did a special party at Build a Bear workshop with all the girls (and Ross!).  So fun and so easy for Mommy:)

We celebrated more at home and we gave her our present...her very first American Girl doll.

Can't believe she is 6!  She is everything I ever wanted in a little girl and we are so blessed to have such a happy and healthy and sweet girl!
