September!!

September was super busy with soccer, cheer, and hunting. Soccer is almost over, only one more game, and I am a little sad for Austin. He loves to play and looks forward to going to the games. Last game they were short so he got to play almost the whole time. He loved that!! He's getting the hang of it and gets more and more excited each time he gets to play. He has scored a goal in each game he has played since his first goal, and last game almost scored 3 times!! I'm looking for something else to put him in when this is over. He definitely needs something to get all his energy out!! And he hasn't had a single asthma attack since his last one, which is a relief!! I'd hate to have to tell him he couldn't play!
 Madison is still in cheer, for now. Not sure if this is the route we want her to go, so I am going to try and give her different options. We've thought about horse riding, which I would love, but with winter coming it is too far too drive and will be too cold!! Maybe in the spring we can pick that up. There is a dance "studio" in the neighborhood behind us that does dance and tumbling. That will probably be the route we take next for the kids.
School is going great for both of them! Austin has started reading, which he seems to have picked up pretty good. Madison is having a little problem with comprehension, but it gives us something to really work on with her. They both are loving school and are excited to go each day, thankfully!!
I have started something new at bedtime, which I love and want to share. After story we tell each other what we are proud of for each of us, or what we liked the most about what the other person did that day. Its nice to hear what we all come up with and on the really rough days its nice to have a positive end to the day. I urge you to try it....I'm sure you will love it and it will become part of your bedtime routine!!
Garrett went hunting last week, and although he ended up having tag soup, he had a great time and made some awesome memories. He even got to take the kids one afternoon and they were able to sneak up on a doe. The kids loved it and it won't be long and he will have two little hunting buddies!!
This month we also sneaked in a concert. My sister, Garrett, and I went and saw Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, and Thompson Square. It was a blast!! We had so much fun and were able to meet up with Steve and Sarah and a few other friends of Garrett's from High School!
Looking forward to a slow October, maybe a Halloween visit to Elko. Will be uploading pictures later today and I will try and get them emailed out.
