This is the peach tree in our backyard. This beauty produced many lovely peaches for us so we gave some away, made peach jam, and canned some. I am loving these fruit trees in our backyard! The apricots came and I was able to make apricot jam also. It's so exciting to watch them grow and the kids have been loving them.
Here are just some of the bag fulls of peaches! My counter tops were covered.
We also have pear and apple trees. I have been learning alot about canning, which is something I have always wanted to do. It's a good feeling having all of those pretty fruit jars on the shelf!
Jonah
This cute little man got two teeth on the bottom and his two vampire teeth are starting to come down just in time for Halloween!
Jonah has turned into such a daddy's boy! Gosh he just loves it when Gary walks through that front door. He gets so excited and gets the biggest grin on his face.
This is what he does when he gets mad, he buries his face into the ground. Lately he has been getting really mad if he can't play with the cell phones or if we close the bathroom door to try to keep him away from the toilet. We are just such strict parents aren't we? Ha ha.
Here Jonah is grabbing a dirty sock which he proceeded to stuff in his mouth directly after this photo. Everything has been going into this little portly man's mouth these days! Watch your toes around him, he got mine the other day!

VioletThis picture is the epitomy of Violet. We were at Ryker's swim lessons every morning for two weeks, and this is the sassy little attitude I got to deal with on the sidelines. Good thing she is so darn cute.
I found during swim lessons and soccer, my bright red lipstick would keep this little lady entertained. Although, it would usually end up all over her face!
This is sweet Vi with her best friend. Ripley got a hair cut and she thought that he was a new dog. She kept following him around and calling him King.
Violet has been loving horses! A pink princess horse is probably the best thing that she could ever dream of! She is such a little girly, girl princess. I love it! I wouldn't have her any other way. I'll take her sass and all!

RykerLittle Mr. Kermit the frog body, that's what Gary and I call him. He has got the cutest little skinny body! Here he is at swim lessons. We went to the clearfield aquatic center while he was off track and he loved it. He learned some new techniques and enjoyed his time in the water! He is such a little fish.
He gets better and better everytime we put him in lessons. As long as he likes it, we'll keep putting him in!
SOCCER
He gets better and better everytime we put him in lessons. As long as he likes it, we'll keep putting him in!
SOCCERRyker has a love for soccer. This is him with his blue whales team! He got so much better this year. It's been exciting to watch his progress and enthusiasm for the game increase. He is a great forward and he keeps up with the ball pretty good too.
Coach Simi (our neighbor) was sweet to give the kids medals with their names on them, he went through calling all the kids names one by one, and had them stand while he gave them their medals. He said something good about each of them. He said the best thing about Ryker was that he always listens when he tells him what to do. It was a great confidence booster for the kids!

The red sharks team.Ryker scored his very first goal ever with this team! It was the second to last game of the season. We have been rooting for him for some time now to score a goal because he always says, "Mom i'm gonna score seven goals today" and we always just tell him to try his best and have fun. But we really were so excited when he got that first goal because he has wanted it for so long!
Here he is #7!
Go Ryker!
