Pumpkins and Coke

The last of the pumpkin pics.......and one more of Coke.

Coke - age 9 months.
Jacob's pumpkin is by the little boy, and Amanda's is by the little girl.
Yes, the little girl has arm issues......Coke knocked them over and snapped it off. I love the statue so much that I'm going to glue it back together. Just need time...........

Hope you like your pumpkin Jacob!

Saturday in the Park.....

Okay, it was really Sunday and we were at the local school, not the park. I just happen to like the song so it had to be the title for this entry.

Amanda tosses a tennis ball and Rocky takes off!

Sadie wasn't too interested in a game of "fetch". She just napped in the shade.

That is Amanda's set of wheels in the background. Thanks, Nana!

We were "doggie-sitting" Steph's dogs for a couple of hours and you can see that there is just a bit of rivalry between Coke and Rocky.

Sadie heads off to the car....while the other two have just begun to play.

Again! Kick the ball, Again!
Rocky always got there first.
A little 2 vs. 1 soccer against Amanda.
Back to the tennis ball.

We need some water !
Cokie learning from the pro.
Time out to text................
Back to business and soccer ball handling skills.

Pumpkins

Amanda and I were out for a Sunday drive today - she's practicing for her big test in December- and we decided to stop and pick out a pumpkin at a local farm.

Choosing a pumpkin and memories of pumpkin patch photos from many years gone by......

Amanda was 10 months old on her very first visit to a pumpkin farm.

Here she is almost 16 years old.

Looking for a pumpkin for Bub.

A new friend?

We bought two pumpkins today- one for Bub and one for Amanda. Even though Jake will not be home for Halloween this year, I still wanted to put a pumpkin on the porch for him.

More Soccer

Tournament weekend - again.

This was Amanda and Nina after the second game yesterday. They played 2 games Saturday and one Sunday before they were out of the brackets for the championship.

Up with the sun....driving to the tournament. Amanda scored the lone goal in the game today.
WOW !!! What a beautiful weekend. The weather has been warm and sunny all weekend.

I'm enjoying every minute of it as I watch the leaves turn color and fall off the trees.

Winter is on the way......

And I believe that's Jake's favorite Math teacher back there!

Breeden Wedding

As promised.....a couple of photos from the wedding 2 weeks ago. The mother of the bride is a friend and former teacher for both of my kids.

The groom is 6'5" and the bride 4'9" - very challenging to photograph.

This was my favorite group shot !
The last wedding of the summer for me to photograph...

Note to Jake: post these on Breeden's facebook :)
