Soccer Season '09 is Over!

Hunter had a great soccer season. He had a lot of fun and did a great job. He really worked hard and came really close to scoring several times. We are so proud of him.

Cousin Visit

Megan came into town with Grandma for a visit and we were lucky to spend some time with her. We had lunch in the park and then played for a while. Megan brought Audrey a cute build-a-bear bunny that her and Lily made for her. Audrey loves it. Since there's only 3 girl cousins on that side they need to stick together!

Later Megan came over so she could see Hunter and Isaac when they got home from school. She wrestled Isaac (maybe she was missing her brothers) and played in Audrey's room. Audrey didn't want her to leave and keeps asking when she's coming back. I'm so glad that they got along and had fun together.

Learning

While we were at the park Audrey looked up in the sky and said "X". After I figured out what she said, I was pretty impressed. She seems to be learning and doing new things each day. Its so much fun to be with her and seeing her grow up.

Fall

I love the fall. I think its my favorite season! Maybe its because its a little cooler. Maybe because my birthday is in Sept. Or maybe its just the beautiful leaves. I know that most of the country is starting to feel like winter, but here its still glorious fall.
I had to search for this tree with the beautiful leaves, because if you didn't know palm trees and cactus don't change. I love this tree. It reminds me of home.

Beautiful Day at the Park

This is the time of year that I love living in Vegas! The weather is just gorgeous. Beautiful, perfect weather, that just makes you happy! So we went to the park. What fun!

Going to the Park

It was a beautiful day so we went to the park. I was so impressed with Hunter. We haven't really ridden bikes with him often, so I was a little nervous. He did great! I was so happy for him.


The rest of us followed in the wagon that my Dad made. We love the wagon!

Park pictures will be posted soon, I just wanted to post about Hunter on his bike!

Important Events That I Didn't Mention Yet

I can't believe that it's already the middle of November and I haven't mentioned 3 VERY important events that took place in October!

The first is this cutie! Olivia Catherine Coleman was born on October 16th. You can see some more pictures over on Sara's blog (the good Aunt that posted about her right after she was born!) Congrats to Cathy, Dwain and big brother Caleb!

The second big event was that the binky fairy came to our house!!! If you haven't heard of her, let me fill you in. She is a wonderful fairy that comes to your house and will pick up all of your binkies and then gives them to babies that need them. We were also lucky that she was able to pick up Hunter's silkies too.

We had the kids put all of their comfort items into a box and then magically the box was gone in the morning. It was replaced with some gifts for the kids for being so brave. Hunter got a new bakugan, Audrey a strawberry shortcake doll and Cannon a firetruck. They were thrilled and the comfort items haven't been missed too much. Audrey is the one that asks for a binky most often. She's even said that she'll give back her Strawberry. We just need to find the binky fairy's house. Too bad it's so far away...

The last big event was that Carsten John Dobbins was born on October 30th! I got to see a quick peek of him when we dropped off some flowers to his Mommy. I've seen pictures on facebook, but I don't have one to share with you. Let me just tell you that he's a cutie! I can't wait to see him and hold him soon.

Isn't that awesome that my sister and sister-in-law both had babies the same month? AND.. my other sister and other sister-in-law are both pregnant right now and both due in May. What a crazy coincidence!
