We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the Hobson Family. Tyson's sister, Deanna was so gererous to host all of us this year in her beautiful home.  We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to spend the day with grandpa, grandma, aunt's, uncle's and cousin's.

 The kids had fun at the pumkin patch

 Rylee with her teammates.  Rylee has had a a really good season and loves palying soccer.

Emily had her first soccer game last week and won 4-0, she got one of the goals. This week her team won 7-2 and Emily got a "hat trick", 3 goals. We are so happy for her and she is doing very well on the soccer field. She is very competitive.(I don't know where she gets that from) Emily's team is dark blue and white, their team name is "Ice Breakers"

Rylee had her first soccer game today and her team did not have a coach.  None of the other parents felt comfortable enough to coach a team of 5 girls so I stepped up and became their coach.  Its a good thing I know how to play soccer, coaching these girls will be easy.  It will be fun and I'm looking forward to being Rylee's coach, she is excited that I will be her coach. 

I had to take this picture of Peyton taking a nap with his bike helmet on. Lately he wants to wear his bike helmet everywhere.   (It reminds me of those kids who have to wear helmets because of fear that they will hit their heads on something, that isn't Peyton's problem, he just likes wearing his helmet)

The last couple of weeks have been really busy with school starting, celebrating Emily's 9th birthday, and "socks"(Emily's kitty) ran away.

Emily started the 4th grade on August 3rd.  She was very excited to go back to school, to learn and to see her friends again.

Rylee started pre-schoool, she loves going to school(she thinks she is now a big girl just like Emily)

We celebrated Emily's 9th birthday on August 13th.  She had a wonderful day and thanks to everybody who helped make her day very, very special.

Mom made some apple looking apples for Emily's birthday.  The kids loved them.

Emily's kitty ran away but luckily with some flyers that were pasted out to the neighbors and a call to the pound, "socks" was returned to our family once again. 

About 30 hours later we were reunited with "socks" again.  A neighbor didn't know it was our kitty and took "socks" to the pound(he didn't have any ID tags on him).  Mom decided to make a call just to see if they happened to have "socks".   They said that somebody just brought in a kitten, to "socks'" description, they told us to come in and check him out.  I was so excited that they could possibly have "socks".  And they did and we now Emily is so glad to have her kitty back.  We are all glad to have "socks" back. Now the kitty's have collars and ID tags on them.  

Rylee loves her kitty  "Lizzy". "Lizzy" likes to be on the garage's counter and get fresh water from the sink. 

Summertime fun!!!!!

The kids have been enjoying the pool a lot this hot, hot, summer. They also have been in swim lessons.

Our little Emily is growing up soo fast but just in a little over a week she starts 
school and she'll be in the 4th grade.

Rylee has also been enjoying swim lessons and she is doing really well

We just recently adopted 2 kitty's.  The orange and white one is Emily's, she name him "Socks"
because it looks like he has white socks on.  Rylee's kitty is black and white and she
wants to name her "Fluffy" but were not sure
we are going to stick with that name.
Rlyee sure likes that name though.

Rylee and her new kitty, "Fluffy"

Peyton loves the kitty's too!!!!
