Fall 2015

Fall is here, and we have been on the go. Lots of school activities, parties, and outdoor playing with neighbors. Our yard is decorated with spiders, pumpkins and webs! The boys love it! Trent is blossoming at school. His teacher said that he leads circle time and is eager to talk, which is so refreshing for me! I was wondering if Trent would get "lost in the shuffle" because he is so laid back. But, nope! She said he is quick to be involved and speak up! Way to go Trent!  I am so proud of your confidence!
Hunter continues to be obsessed with school. He rides the bus to and from school. All the older girls from our street want to sit with Hunter, so they are on a rotation so they all get a day to sit with him! Poor thing has all these adorable girls wanting to sit with him!! Remember this Hunter, our neighbor girls love you so much! And cousin Ally is in the seating rotation too, she loves to 'help' Hunter! He is such a handsome, thoughtful, outgoing boy!
Faith Ann and I are loving our girl days! We do lots of talking, walking and observing the outdoors! We take many walks to the 'Morning Tree' at the end of our cul-de-sac. We take our time and pick up sticks, rocks, look at birds, and hold hands! Our walks are such a special time for me. I love to watch her prissy walk as her chubby cheeks bounce as she walks! Ahhh, she is too adorable! There is a house being built at the end of our street, so we walk to watch the tractors. Faith Ann points to it and says "trata!!" I am enjoying this phase SO SO much!
Scott is Hunter's assistant coach for soccer. Hunter scored a goal, which he was over the moon about! Trent is so ready to play too. Next year will be fun to watch Trent play! Mimi and Pardner are regular game go'ers! Uncle Greg and Aunt Macy have come to a game too. Hunter always has a cheering section!
I am still loving working out at the Ninja gym! I got hooked into the show "American Ninja Warrior" years ago, and I went to try out Sam Sann's obstacle course ninja gym off 1960. I LOVED it from the moment I walked in! I have gotten pretty good and having a blast! I have become good friends with some of the people. I am the strongest I have ever been, but a different kind of strong. It's like my strength, balance, coordination, core strength, and body control has all come together!  I adore Sam Sann, he is a fantastic trainer! Hunter comes with me sometimes. He does the obstacles and "mini ninja" class while I train. He loves to watch me, and he often cheers me on from across the gym! To say the least, Hunter is obsessed with anything ninja! I will do a separate post about my American Ninja Warrior journey later! In the meantime, HAPPY FALL!
