Soccer Season Starts!!

Zachary got three goals in his first game and one goal every game since!!! He has really blossomed this year! He's definitely not the fastest but by far the biggest and he's got a sling shot leg! Watch out if he's in front of the goal! I think it's safe to say that Mikayla's favorite part of soccer is getting

non-organic snacks after the game!
A quick family pic while the leaves are still green!
So sweet!

This is on our back deck.

Leaves

I forgot to say in the last post how Zachary woke up on Labor Day looked at his calendar and screamed "Happy Labrador Day!!" He and Mikayla decided to start a leaf removal business!! Now 3weeks later that there are actual leaves to rake they are loosing steam, because we have a lot of trees in our yard!

What we've been up to...

Our annual Labor Day trip to the "Sprinkle Park!"

Our Harvest!

One of my first posts was about the seeds the kids planted when the Thiesen Grandparents came for Spring Break and here is what came of that!! The one and only pumpkin that grew out of like 30 flowers!

Blessed be your name

When the sun's shining down on me

When the world's all as it should be

Blessed be your name

Our back yard is extremely lush, but it doesn't get enough sun for many flowers or veggies to grow. I think that is what happened with the pumpkins. It reminds me of how much the world needs the sun to function, just like we need the Son to grow and produce fruit. Creation truly does reveal His glory. Just another way that our new house has blessed us!

My, how they've grown!
