Fall soccer

So Hadley already showed off her soccer skills.  I played a different league this fall and got to play with one of my best buds from school.  I had a lot of fun making new friends while learning a ton about soccer.  I am practing all winter long and can't wait to get outside in the spring with some new skills.  Daddy caught a little of our tournament a few weeks ago.  We played three games on a Saturday.  It was a lot of fun.

 And every soccer player needs a little brother that wants to be just like him.

Peden Farm (from a few weeks ago.)

Hadley got to visit Peden Farm with her preschool class and mommy before fall break.  The lucky duck will probably get to go two years in a row.  It is a fun field trip.  Look at everything she got to do...



 Feed the llamas.

 Meet the fire dog.

 Go on a hayride (she told us her tractor got passed)

 Dress up.

 Sign a giant pumpkin.

 Sit up high on a buggy.

Back home again in Indiana

It is a beautiful fall in Indiana so when we got back from Florida, we had to get out and enjoy it.  Plus we didn't have any pumpkins and it was killing mommy.  On Sunday we visited a local pumpkin patch that was full of fun.  Uncle John, Aunt Susan and Johnny were there too which made it even better.  First up...the animals.

 Oliver was very unsure.

 Cheesin'.

 Off to pick out our pumpkin.

 Family picture from the hayride. 

 Oliver loved to watch the tractor and stand up while it was moving.  No worries...someone was always holding on to the little guy.

 I might have photobombed those girls.

 And the other hayriders.

 You get what you get with us three.  And no Oliver does not regularly pick his nose...that is someone else in our family.

 Awww lots and lots of pumpkins.

 And Johnny.

 Our tourist pictures...

 And then our annual pumpkin painting.

 Oliver got in on the action.

Marco Island for fall break.

Mommy, Nana, Papa, Oliver, Hadley and I all went to Florida for fall break.  We love it.  It was warm.  There was swimming.  There was the beach.  There were shells.  There were new playgrounds.  There was eating outside.  There was just a lot of playing, laughing and having fun.  I wish daddy could have gone with us but next time.  Here are some pictures to remember our fall break...

Hadley was always the first one in the water.

 Oliver tested out his new tube.  Hadley and I played in it too. 

 Mommy loves the beach the most and the water was so warm.

 I played football on the beach.

 Check out that catch.

 This was the first time Oliver really got down and dirty in the sand.  He loved it.  He crawled everywhere and loved to get other people sandy too.

 Good pictures are hard to come by...this one comes pretty close.

 We did a little night swimming.  It was fun.

 Scram birds.

 And we did a lot of shell collecting.

 There were a lot of creatures in the conch shells...Hadley was not impressed.

 Jumping in the pool got a lot of laughs.  Hadley's favorite was the seat drop.

 I was trying to perfect my somersault.

 Oliver was a trooper.  He was getting four new teeth and couldn't crawl everywhere he wanted but he still managed to find some fun.

Not pictured...mommy's birthday, lots of card games, lots of seafood dinners, and a trip to Naples to visit friends.
