Fun filled Saturday

Yesterday was action packed and fun filled for our family. Cooper had a soccer game at 11:00. Tutu and Catelyn went with us. The team he played was a team that 3 of Cooper's friends from church were on. I got some fun shots of him playing. He's in the white shirt, #6.

We then headed straight over to Uncle Jared's office for his Patient Appreciation day. Aunt Michal had made lots of yummy food and we even got to see Aunt Alli and cousin Isaac. (Sorry no pics)

After that we went right to Cooper's school Fall Carnival. It was surprisingly warm for the afternoon but the kids had lots of fun going to all the little games, climbing in the fire truck and eating snow cones and cotton candy.

This picture was so funny because someone was announcing over the speaker about a winner and Catelyn says "We're the lucky winner!" with her finger pointed up like that. And yes, her chin is blue.

Playing catch up

We've had some fun time here lately and it's about time for me to catch everyone up.

First, the weekend before this last one, Cooper's team won their first game.  The boys were so excited, all their hard work practicing twice a week paid off.  The score, 1-0.

Then on Monday, Mom, Tutu, and I took Catelyn and Lydia to the same pumpkin patch that Cooper's class had visited on their field trip.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all had lots of fun visiting the animals, eating yummy pumpkin muffins, riding the train, buying cookbooks and apple cider, seeing friends from church on a field trip and eating lunch.  Catelyn and I took the hay ride way out to find her "perfect pumpkin" and a beautiful fall day was had by all.

This past Columbus Day weekend we all headed down to Fresno to visit Papa (or Popa, as Catelyn spells it) and go to Yosemite with Uncle Jared, Aunt Mimi, and cousins Ben and Lucy.  The last time I had been was when Martin and I took Cooper when he was just a few months old, toting him around in his car seat.  We sure had a great time.  I'm still uploading pictures but Aunt Mimi has already got a great blog up with picture and video montages so please head over there to see some of our fun.

I'm going to try and upload pictures today so check back later.

Soccer

Cooper going to his first day of soccer practice. We found out that morning that he had made it onto a team.
Before his first soccer game.

For only having been to one practice beforehand Cooper did a great job!
He really did a great job at goalie. He saved around 8 goals and really went after the ball. He had a great time (despite the heat soaring to 104 degrees!)
