Emmy loves a lot of things, but this year she only liked soccer.

She loved some things about it, like her friends and the swedish fish that Coach Amiel would hand out after each practice.  And she loved the snacks after the games.

When she wasn't playing, she would be doing cheers with her friends and squishing their cheeks and talking in a funny voice.

She kind-of liked meeting her hair twin, Bree Maker, from the other team!

It has been fun to watch Emmy play--on the field and on the sidelines!

Go (blue) Ladybugs!

zzzzzzzzzz

Steve likes to pack in some zzzzzzz's anywhere he can.

 Indoors, outdoors,

 soft ground or hard,

he's just e-zzzzzzzz like that.

homecoming

Coming home... it's all about family.

We all went to the Columbia River Temple during one of Grandpa's and Grandma's shifts to do baptisms for the dead and hang out together.

 We ate a lot of good food together, too!  It's kinda weird taking pictures in restaurants and food courts, but it's a great time to find everyone together (and happy)! 

 We loved being with grandparents, cousins, uncles, aunts, parents, in-laws, and of course the RETURNED MISSIONARY, our newest hero.

We released balloons in honor of Kaden's homecoming and birthday.  And older, younger, taller, shorter, faster and not so fast played for hours outside.  

 Families stick together, especially in partner tag.

 It was a blast coming together this weekend to celebrate a missionary homecoming.  Well done, Kaden.  Welcome home!

hello October

With birthdays celebrated, parties thrown, and back to school stuff completed, we are enjoying the break that came with October.  A lighter schedule PLUS sunshine almost daily?!!?

 Does it get any better?  

(besides summer?!)

soccer girl

Ali is quite the soccer player.

As striker, as midfield, as defense...

and as goalie...

Go Ali!!

conference weekend prepositions

We hung up and around, 

we were up, we were down,

we were over, we were in.  

Evans Creek Preserve, Sammamish

We were together.
