September in a nutshell :)

September was a blur! The kids were in school and we lived and breathed soccer 4 days a week...and loved every minute of it!

I am not sure if Utah County is the same as other areas but it seems if your child has not picked and dedicated themselves to a specific sport by age three you're behind the game. Ian likes a lot of sports which is great but in Utah County you have to pick one and live and breathe it 24/7. The one sport Ian doesn't care for is soccer but his best friend was playing and he decided he wanted to play too! I was so impressed most of the kids he is playing with have been playing since they were three...you know when Ian hated it! Turns out Ian loves soccer and is really good! He was not afraid to get in after the ball and even made a few goals this season -we are so proud of him! 

Our favorite treat no bake healthy granola balls! It has now become a staple item in our home that must always be stocked in the refrigerator. But seriously they are so good! I got the recipe from one of my favorite food blogs melskitchen.com! All of the soccer kids love them!

Since Ian was playing soccer Aaron of course wanted to play soccer too! So...

Yep- Aaron is pretty good too! His first goal... sure it was in the wrong goal but he's three who cares! Soccer four days a week as been great -we have also found a lot of little boys getting a little shut eye here and there.

Even Ava is loving soccer!

The last game of the season was beautiful the rain had just cleared and the sky was covered in rainbows.

In other news Ava turned 15 months! I have no idea how but she is just growing up so fast! As you can see from the photo she is growing like crazy! She used to be barely in the 10th percentile of everything. Not anymore :( She is loud and definitely has a mind of her own!

She loves the camera...and always gives you a cheese followed by a smile.

She loves dancing

There is no such thing as too many books. Downside is she tends to like the same book read to her for about a week. Her current favorite "where's my daddy" and "Colors." Both flap books. The more flaps the better.

We have also had a lot of other creatures around our house. Yes -tarantulas! This one was on my front porch and about the size of my entire hand. Don't worry they have been all over our neighborhood -I do my best to stay indoors right now. 

We celebrated grandma's birthday! Tim made a nice fish dinner for her and grandma made her own birthday cake -peach pie! The boys loved it!

That pretty much sums up September! With a lot of random parties in between :)

Hope everyone else is enjoying the fall weather as much as we are....minus the spiders!
