a watch out for Santa. Jace asks almost

every day, "When is Santa coming?"

A SPOOKY END TO OCTOBER

Scary Papa Dave

The ferocious dragon, the dragon slaying knight and the pretty butterfly.

Jace's last soccer game was a success!
He helped score a goal and received
his medal at the end. Here's the fab 4: Jace, Braden, Tyler & Carson

It was cold!!

Deere Farm Pumpkin Patch

Over the weekend we went to the pumpkin patch at Deere Farms in Lanesville. We've been to Huber's so many times that we were looking for something different. It was SO hot and dry on Sunday and I think we inhaled gallons of dust, but we managed to get some good pumpkins and ride some tractors. Jace was in heaven on the tractors.

READY FOR FALL!

This past weekend was busy with soccer, pumpkins and a fall festival. Jace was awesome in his soccer game on Saturday. He played the entire time without holding mom's hand! Jace didn't score any goals during the game, but he ran as fast as he could around that field. He's pretty quick. Maybe a future track star?

On Sunday we went to the fall festival at IUS and played some games, painted pumpkins and ate gourmet hotdogs and cheetos. Lexi got to ride in a fire truck, too. It was pretty chilly, so we ended the evening with some hot chocolate. When we got home, Jace and Matt decorated their pumpkins with silly faces. Lexi attempted to color her pumpkin, but decided it was more fun to color the counter, instead.
