Tristin's first soccer game of the season!

Tristin's first soccer game was September 9th. He played Botkins @ Botkins.



Because he was one of the top five oldest in his class...he was able to get bumped up to the U14 team. Boy was he happy. As his momma, I wasn't quite sure I was as excited. AS you can clearly see, almost all of the boys have a bit of a height advantage.

But all is well! He is on a very nice team with wonderful boys and a great coach. Tristin has been enjoying his practices which typically are Mon. Tues and Thurs.

We on the sidelines cheer hard (when we are allowed) and play hard!

Crazy Mr. Kolton and Grandma Thompson with Lola....



Tickle time with Natalie and catching Grandpa Thompson in a picture....

I just love them!



I was trying to capture Kolton's hair...but my camera didn't. He had preschool the day before and we caked his hair with gel. The result (since we didn't take a bath that night) was a head full of flakes! Yes, your Mother noticed but publicly displayed you that way. -sorry, I do love you!






Kolton and Grandpa (oh and Keith and I were there too! HA!)

The team

GO RANGERS!

(sorry Tristin, the team lost 9 - 0...but you had fun and had an awesome/almost goal kick!)

World's LARGEST Pickle!

What you are looking at is two very spoiled pickle lovin' kids!

Grandpa and Grandma Thompson has kept us WELL in supply of fresh from the garden pickles and salsa. They are a FAVORITE and the pickles have become a regular on the table next to the ketchup. We all know what a place of honor that is in this household!

Well Grandpa hooked them up with the largest pickles of the year! Four pickles filled a quart jar. Mouths watered over them....they were savored...they were LOVED!

Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!!

Our two pickle lovers cherished every bite!
