Heads Will Roll

While we were all sick Jayden decided to climb our teetering shelf in the front room to reach a bottle of Tylenol. Our fall village is also up there. The whole thing came tumbling down on top of him. In the whole fiasco our headless horseman finally decided to strike on the unsuspecting towns folk.

GOAL!!

I am now a Soccer Mom. Stillman is now a Soccer Coach. Alex is now a Soccer player. I never really imagined being a soccer mom as neither Stillman nor I have ever really been interested in Soccer. We are more of a football family. but how can you resist when they look this cute!

We have had a bit of a struggle since all of our kids are first years and we are playing teams that have a mixture first and second year kids. Not to mention I don't think we have gone a week without someone on our team being sick with the flu. However they are making great strides and really getting the hang of it now. Today Alex scored two goals. (They are not his first goals) but still very exciting whenever it happens. Actually he scored three, but the third one was an accident. He was trying his hardest to keep the other team from scoring a goal but the ball hit his foot and then went in the other teams goal. He was so cute when he was telling us how disappointed he was that he had did that. We told them that he still did a good job at getting between the goal and the ball. He always says "I want to play defense today." I am not sure he knows exactly what that means, but he is good at it. I will have to post some video later. We still have two games left if anyone wants to come watch. They are Saturday the 17th at 11:30 a.m. and Saturday 24th at 11:30 a.m.

Reaping the Harvest

Since the temperatures were going to drop below freezing tonight we decided to go out and harvest our garden. And What A Plenty! Were sure saved a ton of money by having a garden ;). I think we have enough food here for a meal, well not even that. Maybe next year when we start a little earlier we can get more food out of it. We did get about five pumpkins. Four are still out there. We are hoping they can get a little bigger. They are all tucked in for the night and tomorrow bright and early I will go out and give them a wash and try to save them from the frost. We sure did have fun though. Well worth it.

Everyone helped plant it
My favorite was the strawberries.
This is one very happy farmer! What's up Doc!
And Check out Alex's first pumpkin!

James Bryan Moseley "Bryan" 10/23/1982-8/22/2009

A dear friend of our family and one of Brigitte's best friends has passed away. He was around our house so much that he was like one of the family. To see a great tribute to Bryan go here. or you can visit a blog set up in his honor here.

You will be missed Bryan.

Catching Fire

Available September First. I already have my hold on this baby. I am 91 on the list. I don't know if I can wait that long. I may have to convince Stillman it is worth the buy. What do you think Stillman. PULEASE! For those of you who haven't read the first book, The Hunger Games, you should. A tag line for this book read: Forget Edward and Jacob, by the time readers get to the end of this book (and it's a cliff hanger) people will be choosing sides for Peeta or Gale. I'm for Gale.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Tony!!!!

We decided that we needed to put up a fence around our garden since we can't keep the kids or the dog out of it. We called up Dad to find out if he had some extra wood around that we could use. He told us that he just replaced Bob and Joyce's fence and that we could use that fence wood. Tony came over yesterday and cut all the fence pieces and posts. Last night Stillman and Tony dug the post holes and placed them. Then today Tony and Blake finished the whole thing gate's included. they also built a dog run for Ginny. It looks so cute. Thank you a million times!!
