Carving Pumpkins

I'm not gonna lie...I hate carving pumpkins, they stink, they re stringy, and they re messy, and that's why my kids love it! This years right before Halloween Tyler was in Seattle for work so we went to my dads, and he got the privilege of helping with the carving:)

People always tell me my life is crazy and how can I stand  going to all those games every weekend. Honestly I love it, I'm gonna most likely be heartbroken when my boys are grown and gone and I'll have no game to watch. Football has consumed our lives for the last four months. We would sometimes have up to four games between soccer and football in one Saturday. It had its crazy moments but was always a good time. I love cheering for their teams! This was Dylans last year playing youth football, I'm kinda sad he's going to be moving on from it to high school ball. It's been great watching him and his friends just have a good time. Karsten really learned the game this year and improved soo much. Tyler was able to be the wide receiver coach for his team, which was a really good experience for both of them. So until next year we'll just have to find something to occupy our Saturday's...oh yes basketball starts tomorrow:) So long to the boys of fall for now

So if your thinking all we do around our house is play sports then you'd be right!! Tyler coached Jaxons AYSO soccer team this fall. Lets just say it didn't go the smoothest for the two of them. Jaxon came home from more than one practice not too pleased with his "coach". He didn't like the games they played or the drills they did, or the skills they practiced. All he wanted to do was scrimmage, and apparently he doesn't rule the world like he thinks:) It all worked out in the end though, he had some very talented players on his team and they had a fairly successful season. I'm glad Tyler was willing to coach amidst adversity. He always takes the time out of his crazy schedule to be present for our boys no matter what they're doing or playing. He is a really good soccer coach and better father, I'm sure Jaxon will see that one day.
