Fall started off with more soccer for Andrew (and us.) His season included going to a Salt Lake Real soccer game. Brian and the boys went and had a great time.
In September, Tanner turned 6 years old. He and his buddies play Ninja Turtles almost every day, so of course we had to get some Ninja Turtle toys. He also had fun with his new remote control truck. The boys creatively taped a small flashlight to the roof of the truck so they could drive it at night.
We had gone to the grocery store on Tanner's birthday, and he wanted a store-bought cake. I usually make the birthday cake at home. We ended up compromising and Tanner chose a cupcake for himself and his brothers. His early September birthday is close enough to Halloween (I guess) so the store had eyeball and spider cupcakes. Yum.
Also in September, we celebrated Brian's birthday. The man who is impossible to buy for usually gets plenty of "work snacks."
Eric, our basketball loving boy, is now loving Football too. So he played his first season of Flag Football. He has a great spiral throw and is an excellent blocker.
And then came our (least) favorite holiday, Halloween. The kids enjoy it, Mom and Dad tolerate it. Here is Tanner's pumpkin he and I carved. Not sure if he's trying to copy that pumpkin's grimace or what. ;)
Costumes this year included Eric as a "nerd", Tanner as "Messi" the soccer player (and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle at the school party,) and Andrew was a boy with a black outfit and a cape. Costumes certainly get harder the older the boys get. Cant wait until next year!
