Picture day!

Alivia had her school pictures today, and I went out to the backyard to get some shots as well.  She still enjoys going to school, but seems quite interested in Ridgewood Elementary.  I think she wants to be with her brother.

 

All Smiles!

Summer was full of smiles from day one, but now it’s for real!  Of course, I can’t get her in a full grin, but I’ve managed to get a few happy shots.  She looks so much like her brother and her cousin Charlie!  What a doll.

Soccer Up!

Addison is now playing U8 with three players to his side and a goalie.  I like this arrangement as it feels more like soccer than the little kid version.  He prefers it too and has as much enthusiasm as ever.  He’s even playing on Friday night clinics.  Addison started his season with a bang: 6 goals!  He’s working on his cuts and his shots.  So far we haven’t been in mud, but soon he’ll be playing mud soccer with the rainy October weather.   Go team Spies!

Outrun.

  Eyes on the goal.

Wind up and score!

Here he tried an assist to Keton.

School Day, School Day

   

Hanging out with the family in Bend

Addison and Jack in the pool. Liv had a ball running between the pond pool and the hot tub.

 

The boys were quite excited to jump in and cool off. Ashley enjoyed dipping her feet after an adventurous morning hunting water bugs!  They earned a penny for each bug caught!  Waterbugs are now named Pennybugs.

Sianna is so cute!    Ahhhhh.

What a fun family reunion at my aunt Kareen’s house in Bend, OR!  We all enjoyed getting together to play, swim, float, fish, and golf.  It was a wonderful time for the cousins to get together and spend some time together.  The boys had a fun fishing morning, and we all spent an afternoon floating the river.  Inside, Grammy had fun holding Summer and watching all of the hullabaloo!
