Hello Fall!

We have been so lucky with gorgeous fall weather! Every day after school until dinner and even after dinner the kids are outside running, jumping, biking, fighting (lol), laughing, and I love nothing more than seeing the smiles on their faces.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love our neighbors.... and I'd say my kids do too:) Ana and Everett... two peas in a pod!

Cam and Aubrey... well they are just Cam and Aubrey. They fight like brother and sister one minute and the next they are exchanging stuffed animals and calling each other BFF's.  It's a chore to get Camden into the house for dinner when all the neighbor kids are outside.... Aubrey understands this, so she just stands outside our dining room windows dancing and providing dinner entertainment until Cam is done with dinner.  Owell, it makes him eat fast ;) True story... she's such a hoot.

First leaf pile of the season!

Camden practicing for winter... Eliana loved it!

This picture brings such a smile to my face.  So proud of our neighborhood dude, Phillip, for learning to ride his bike without training wheels!!  This was a pretty special day for Camden too.... about 3 weeks prior to this picture Camden was a rotten friend toward Phillip and teased him for not being able to ride without training wheels.  We had many conversations about being a bully and hurting our friend's feelings and decided to pray for Phillip.  We prayed that God would give him courage to try this new skill and that God would help him to get back up after falling and to keep trying no matter what so he could ride with Cam and Aub. No joke - these were our exact words every day on the way to school for about a week straight.  Camden may not remember this as he gets older and I guess that's why I'm recording it... I think one day he will want to read about his first experience of having a prayer answered :)

Eliana got ahold of Daddy's wallet and was caught checking out this picture.  These photo booth pictures had to be at least 10 years old....

Love this picture of her... 

Daddy's little Tigers girl...
Ana and Daddy had an afternoon together and he couldn't find any shoes that matched her Tigers dress so what does he do?! Goes to Target to buy her these cute new polka dot ones. Apparently they are her 'play-off' kicks. And of course throwing a baseball... the first thing she does when she comes outside to play is grab the bat and a ball.  Must be watching big brother!

Looking oh so cute in her pink shades.  Actually... they aren't hers. I'm not sure whose they are, but she loves them- they were left at her birthday party, so if they are yours, let me know!  

We celebrated Julian's 5th birthday in a scientific way... kuddos to Aunt Emy for throwing a fantastic party! Here's Anie sporting her lab coat, goggles, and name badge.



I've never eaten a smoking cake... but it was delish!

Science experiments!

So captivated....

I love these kids! 
Building molecules...

Doggie kisses!  

Eliana mastered 'cheese'... sorta.
