Not much has gone on. Still the same soccer, school, soccer, school life that takes our September and October. Soccer is going well. Ally smiles during the entire games. She loves it and we thoroughly enjoy watching her have fun. Jared is coming out of his shell a bit and played his best game so far this last Wednesday. Lots of assists and passes and he almost made a goal. He kicked it and it went passed the goalie, but stopped rolling! He needs to give the balls a harder kick!
The kids are doing excellent in school. Jared continues to impress and surprise me. Ally is loving it all and loves phonics and science best. Jared and Ally both scored high on their DIBEL tests and Jared score off the chart on his first scantron test for the year. I have filled out the application to get him tested into the elementary schools CHALLENGE program for next year. I think he will love it. Carys is loving everything about preschool and already has a best friend named Eliza. Carys has a field trip this coming Friday to a local pumpkin patch. I think she will have a blast. Can't wait to watch her with her own little friends.
I am now trying to look into the future and what it will hold. This month starts craziness for our family. There are more birthdays then the ones I will mention, but just in our home it started with Aaron. His birthday was this last Thursday, Ally has hers the 28th, Halloween is the 31st, Carys is November 1st, and last but not least Jared is the 8th. ALSO this birthday for Jared is a big one. He is going to be 8! I can't believe it, 8! Our stake has assigned baptism dates and he misses the November cut off, so he will be baptized December 6th.
I have a lot to figure out. This is what keeps me up at night. What I am also thinking about while doing other things. Wondering how we can do it all. How is it ever going to come together. Where are we going to find the time or money to do it all?
Here are a few of them.

Special dessert after the baptism
A few weeks later we have that special day called Christmas.
AHHHHHHHH!
Here are some pictures added for your viewing enjoyment.
We went to Verhey's peaches and picked some golden nectar.
After getting home I realized that we needed more to keep everyone happy.
I got all this for a steal.
I borrowed a dehydrator from Aaron's mom, since I knew we couldn't eat all those fresh peaches and pears before they went bad. We did eat lots fresh, but I dehydrated some and froze more.
The kids and I went with my parents to the Puyallup Fair. Yes, I realize it isn't called that, but ask anyone who grew up remotely close to that around that area and they will agree. It will always be The Puyallup Fair.
Ever since the kids went to the rodeo here Jared has been dying to ride something like the cowboys he saw. I signed him up for Mutton Bustin'. Ally wanted to try too.
Here they go!
They both had fun, but Ally got stomped on.
They can't wait to try again.
After "Bustin'" We did rides. The price was ridiculous for rides so they didn't do a ton, but they were okay with that.
Mom and the girlie's.
They also got face painted which was FREE!
Seriously this boy with his freckles and lashes!
Pretty girl
This one has her bro's lashes but they are hard to see here.
No trip to the fair is complete without a bunch of nasty scones and awesome Bull Chips!
Soccer!
Yes, this is what she does while she waits to go back in.
On Aaron's birthday we went for a walk around the lake.
Some impromptu shots.
They do really love each other.
7 year old Peanut
5 year old Ally McFarland
3 year old Bobbaloo
Can't believe he is going to be baptized in December.
I love these 3 little terrors.
They crack me up more than anything else.
