Fall Break
We arrived at Gigi and Pops' house for fall break and we are having a great time! We were here for about an hour and here is what Caden found to play with...this has provided hours of entertainment, literally!

Weekly, Almost Daily Occurance
I LOVE WHERE WE LIVE! It is so great to have the neighbors we do and the fact that their grandkids are over A LOT!!! So this is what you will see in our cul-de-sac so often...

It is such a blessing to have good friends live so close! I hope these boys are friends as they grow older and have these memories, just as long as they stay out of trouble :)

Another Mower
We will be set one of these days when all these boys of ours can mow! Saturday morning, even though he was a little sick, Cole was ADAMANT about getting out there and helping Daddy mow! Cole always gets his little mower out of the garage throughout the week and tells me he needs to mow. So today he followed Cory around and even helped him empty out the bag!
Love that Cole wants his Daddy more and more!

Hide God's Word in Your Heart
Since the first week or so of AWANA our kids have had a HUNGER for getting into God's word. I have often joked about having to restrict them from reading their bibles and/or their AWANA books. It can sometime be a competition of who said more, who found it first, etc. You know the drill!
But truly, deep down, it thrills my heart to hear and see their eagerness. I love hearing Caden reading scripture from his new bible or Sparks book, and then teaching Lizzy how to find a verse and helping her read it! Caden has done so well with his reading and what better things to read than scripture :) I have to brag on him a little, I am his Momma; last night he had three verses to say that we had practiced all week, but he came home with five checked off! He has retained them so far too, I checked this morning! I love how God is working on his little mind and heart!
I also adore Carter's desire to keep up with the big kids! He has learned five verses so far. He loves to recite them over and over again! I captured him on video saying his first four! Not sure why the video is so small, but just turn it up and listen!
These are the verses he has learned, in case you can't understand him! It used to bother me that they weren't the entire verse, or that they "dumbed" it down for little ones...but Carter knows these verses and knows what they mean and that is what matters!
1 John 4:10 God loves us and sent his son.
Romans 3:23 All have sinned.
Romans 5:8 While we were sinners, Christ died for us.
Genesis 1:31 All he had made was very good.
Now about Cole, at the end of the video you can hear him talking to Jesus. He loves to pray now...at every meal, at nap and bed time, etc. SO CUTE! He thanks Jesus for all in our family and lots of other people we know too! But he is also in full 2 yr old mode, hence the screaming at the end.
I hope to post Caden saying all his verses soon, but in the meantime...allow this to encourage you, speak to you, and maybe even allow God to challenge you to memorize some scripture! Have a blessed day!

Soccer
Caden is at it again with his 3rd soccer season. The team is much improved from the spring and the games have been really exciting. There have been many goals scored by Caden and others! I have only missed one due to a nap time conflict, but haven't been able to take pictures.
Today Crosby timed it perfectly and ate just before we left so he was able to snooze in the stroller during the game. Cole was good, and entertained by a team member's sister, so I was able to take some pictures of our athlete!
Crosby is ready for soccer!

On the way to make a goal!
