Pumpkin carving

This weekend we prepared for Halloween by doing some pumpkin carving. The kids were really helpful this year. Emily picked the middle pumpkin which she called the Oh Face which is scary but not too much that would give everyone nightmares. Bo picked out the Minion one that we carved. They both helped do the third one for Cooper which is a Mickey Mouse. The little ones Bo and Emily took care of by decorating and drawing on them.

Needless to say, they are very excited for Halloween and Trick or Treating.

Emily soccer

Here are some photos from Emily's soccer games the past few weeks.

This was her playing goalie and holding on to the ball after being kicked.

She had a breakaway but kicked it right at the keeper. She was very disappointed but did a good job of getting free to begin with.

Cooper scored a goal at halftime. He is yelling "GOAAAAAAL"

Enjoying a snack after the game while watching Bo's game.

Bo soccer

These are some photos from Bo soccer games the past few weeks. He volunteered to play goalie.

He made some big saves and loved taking the goal kicks.

This is a photo of Bo's fan club.

Fall Break in Branson

For fall break, we took a trip to Branson. Bo was thrilled to stay in a hotel.

They posed for a picture in front of the fountains with their candy from the old-time candy store.

They thought they were cool on the 4-wheeler.

The bear kinda scared Cooper so he wouldn't go near it but these two would.

Emily decided to hug this bear.

Cooper wanted to ride in a car too.

Cooper loves his milk shake.

On Saturday, we went to Silver Dollar City and rode some rides like the Carousel.

Relaxing in the hammock that they made there.

Guess who is snacking on a funnel cake

Pumpkin patch

Here are some pictures from our annual trip to the pumpkin patch at Rombach's farm.

Cooper was able to ride the cho-cho.

Emily wins an award at school

Last week Emily won an award at school. It is called the PRIDE challenge coin for demonstrating exemplary Panther Pride. They give it out to one student in each grade. She won for Kindergarten. Her teacher said the look on her face was priceless when they announced it. We all know how shy she is and loves getting up in front of everyone. We are very proud of her.
