Hellooooooo October

Oh hello Mr October! Hello to crisp mornings and cool afternoons. Hello to pumpkins every where you look and scarecrows adorning every door.

Can you spot the tree that is my favorite to look at. Yep its the red one.
Have I told you I LOVE FALL!! Maybe just once, huh.
But how I do love summer. Here is probably our last glimpse of it. This is straight out of my rose garden. Beautiful!!

Well I am ushering in this new season with lots going on. But this weekend was all about relaxing, playing, and hopefully getting better.
We started with some playing....

Kyndall is all about climbing these days. There have been many occasions where she is up on a chair or a table in the matter of seconds. It is very scary for this mom.

Then more playing, football that is. And boy was it a good game.

This was our biggest rival. They were undefeated and a much bigger team than us. But you know what, in life, that doesn't always matter. Our boys WHOOPED these boys. It was great. It was that jumping up and down running down the field on the parent side of the fence with the camera screaming for your son, kind of a game. And although Chase is still working on holding and blocking in the back, he did so great! He didn't have a touchdown but paved the way for many of them that happened today.

Can you read the score....56 to 6...GO RAVENS!!
I can not tell you how incrediably proud of this little boy I am! He is such a natural at this and man can he run. And although I love my girls dearly, they make it next to impossible to watch him play. So I will cherish my next two games while they are at home with my good friend. This momma will also be sporting a new lense at the next game. Yep, that's right a lense that requires a monopod!! I am SOOOOO excited to show off those pictures. Be watching next weekend.
We also have our mr man Mr. O starting this week and boy how exciting is this new adventure. The girls are beside themselves and so am I. It will be nice to have a boy thrown in the mix although I am quite sure the girls will still boss him around. Good luck Mr. O!
And ever since I started reading Kelle Hampton's blog I have started to read more blogs with parents of Down Syndrome children. I am not sure what started this but I just love reading about these fabulous families. With October starting this month and October is Down Syndrome Awareness month,  I wanted to invite you all to read some of these blogs. With no DS in our families on either side, we have not had the privilege of knowing the great love these children/adults have. I think it is important for everyone to understand their heart and minds, and what their families go through on a daily basis, good and bad. It has been a great reminder to me to be grateful for what I have but to also be loving to all those that I come in contact with on a daily basis. Here are just a few that I love. This first one has a great list on her blog of other blogs she follows. This is how I find most others to read. Please read them and enjoy them.
Something Beautiful, My Journal to You, Miss Maggie Rae   These are just a few that I read.

I always try to leave you all with a picture. So this one is one of Chase, that I played with on Photoscape. Which has been so much fun!!
