Fall, So Far

To say that we have had a busy fall would be a huge understatement!  We have been running around like crazy!  We are all involved in many activities and so far the fall is fling by!  Here is what we have been up to . . .
 We had a small garden of tomatoes (or the tomato store as Lexie calls it) and one Saturday the kids picked the tomatoes and we made salsa.
 Lexie has learned how to do the monkey bars and is on them every chance she gets!
 We spent a Friday night at the fair, eating the yummy food and riding the rides.
 We participated in a color run 5k which was a lot of fun. 
 Our before picture.
 Lexie's favorite place to be is perched up on Daddy's shoulders, chatting away!
 After - covered in paint!
 After the run we went to the Farmer's Market where Lexie had her face painted.
 We had good friends visit and Lucas loved playing video games with them!
 Lexie enjoyed playing with her friends too - Travis called them the pink posse!
 We are doing scouts again this year and at one of our meetings Lucas got to spray the fire hose.
 Lexie taught herself how to swing.
 Lucas, Mom and I went to the WSU vs. Vandals football game.
 Unfortunately little Lexie got a concussion.  She landed funny on the trampoline and we ended up in the ER.  It was not a fun afternoon but she has recovered and is doing well!
 Playing in her room one afternoon.
 Both of the kids are taking swim lessons. 

 We have settled into a school routine.  Today was the first day since school started that Lexie didn't say she wanted to stay home.  We are making progress!
 Lexie and her American Girl Doll, Jessica Julie.  She loves their matching outfits.
 Lucas lost two of his teeth in one day.  One was really loose but the other he yanked out so he could get more money from the tooth fairy!
 The kids have done lots of jumping on the trampoline!
 Lucas is really loving reading right now.  He especially likes the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series.
 A lot of our time is taken up with soccer.  Both kids are playing and really enjoying it.
 Lucas loves being goalie.
 Lexie likes it too!
 She is doing great and even scored a goal this last weekend!
 Lucas is always snapping his fingers!
 The kids were excited to have their grandparents watching their games last weekend.
 Playing hard!
 Protecting the goal!
 Lexie is a great little player!
 When she isn't playing she is usually chatting with her friends and making rings out of grass!
It's been a busy but fun fall so far!
