6 FALLish Things Making Me Smile

1 Ms. M always wanting to wear her RED SPARKLY SHOES-even if they don't go with what she is wearing!  Wonder who she is going to be for halloween.

2 A HALLOWEEN countdown project that consumed way too much money and time, but none-the-less the little kids are enjoying it.  Notice we have already begun to countdown the days, yet it is still unfinished-it needs a title and there are 31 days in October not 30.

 3 This TOOTHLESS smile and the little man that goes along with it.

4  The BEAUTIFUL fall colors that make this time of year so amazing to behold.

 

5 The backyard garden that did really well this year.  We grew tomatoes, cantaloupe, watermelon and of course pumpkins-this pumpkin is the biggest one we have EVER grown.

6 And finally the opportunity I have (multiple times a week) to go watch my favorite sport being played by my favorite people.

 #3 that's my girl out there who doesn't always follow the ball because she gets distracted by the grass.

 #21 that is my competitive boy who is learning and growing and loving his new team.

Goalie-I don't know his number because he spends most of his time wearing a goalie shirt, but I have enjoyed watching him become involved with soccer again.

The Wedding

The Happy Couple

(Phil's youngest Brother)

 The Cutest Moment-

when the newly married couple gave all their nieces and nephews a big group hug.

 Taking A Moment-

to capture my kids

 

 and their silly antics,

 

 he was being extra silly.

She was being extra cute.

Scenes from the Reception

-decorating the get-away car

-taking a break outside the reception center

-playing duck, duck, goose

Miss M also got to travel with Grandma and Grandpa for Flower Girl duty at the reception in Southern California.  Have to say we ALL missed having our little girl around the house for a few days, but glad she got to go.

There is nothing like a wedding/sealing to remind me that FAMILY is what this life is all about.  It is the most important thing.  And that includes good friends - the family we find along the way.
