Trick or Treat!

So, here we have a little hunter, Mary Ingalls, a Harvard graduate, and the Wicked Witch.

It was a fun time going trick or treating. Case didn't like the idea at first, but once he saw candy was involved, then he seemed to be all on board!

Fall Soccer Celebration

These are pictures of our team, the Mystics (U10), after our last game of the season. We are celebrating our coach, Fred Levinson (in purple), for a fantastic season!

Our league schedule looked like this, and we ended up 3w-4l-1t:

8/29/09 FCA Freedom (East Moline) Lost 2-7
8/30/09 NSSC Extreme (Bettendorf) Lost 0-3
9/13/09 Firecrackers (East Moline) Lost 0-3
9/19/09 BSA Kixx (Bettendorf) Won 2-1
10/3/09 EISA Buzz (Bettendorf) Won 3-0
10/17/09 RIFC Rebels (Rock Island) Disappointing loss 1-2
10/24/09 MU 99G Maroon (Moline) Tied 3-3
10/25/09 QCS Tigers (Quad Cities) Won 6-2

We are making progress! We used to be beaten every time and usually ended the games with the mercy rule 0-10. It was exciting to see progress made, and defense getting stronger. Looking forward to the indoor season and the spring season!

Ah, to be a kid...

Case is investigating his new cars from a garage sale this afternoon.



Ok, so I would rather have a hot tub, but the foot massager will have to do!

Case's Birthday

Monday was Case's 2nd birthday, and we celebrated for three days!




Here's Case with Opa's presents - a John Deere tractor and a bunch of new HotWheels!


Haley made a wacky cake and all three girls decorated the cake.


I believe Case thinks the cake is a race track...?


What? I don't have a car with compacted chocolate cake in my hand.

Wow, it's been awhile since I've updated!!!

Well, we had a showing today. Haven't heard back from realtors yet, so not sure about how it turned out.

For MONTHS, nothing, then a phone call last night....house a wreck, a sleepover in progress, projects started & quickly (if you call 8 hours quick) putting the house in order.

Soccer season has been in full swing, and we have four more games.

Haley and Moriah had a babysitting job last night (during those 8 hours previously mentioned) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

School is going by quickly, and this year seems so much better for me, as the kids are doing more learning on their own.

Case is almost two! He's becoming more bold.

Life is good.
