Goalllllllll!

Kim did a fun experiment with the kids. They placed skittle on a plate and added water. The result was beautiful...and tasty!

 The best part was drinking up the water with straws and eating the skittles

 Lyza got to go to her friend's birthday party

Mason has been helping Kim in the kitchen

 Henry is taking steps and melting our hearts. He is up to about 4 steps at a time. Almost there!

 Nixon got to go do some shopping with his mom

While the rest of us played at the park and the beach

 On Tuesday night while we were watching America's Got Talent Henry was super cute looking through books and throwing a ball around

But don't take my word for it, see for yourself

Kim and Nixon devised a plan to scare Lyza while she was walking home from the bus 

She was surprisingly violent when faced with a scary dinosaur

 Our friends took Kim and I (and Henry) out for dinner on Friday night

Henry was so happy to play with a spoon and a knife

 He also loved munching on the chicken wing bones 

Saturday was Nixon's first soccer game of the fall season. He scored a goal right away.

 Here he is after another one of his goals (he got 4 that game)

 He does such a good job taking the ball and getting out in front of the pack

 He also knows how to have fun with his teammates

 Another goal

After all of that soccer we were pretty tired

 Meanwhile, Kim had been canning like a maniac!

 That is a lot of pears!

Kim also went on two separate runs with Lyza and Nixon. Each time they ran 1.7 miles. Lyza and Nixon both did great!

 Nixon was pretty spent by the end of the day

 Hope you all had a fun week

Take care
