Fall is in the air :o)

The weather here is cool and crisp, and I must say this is my favorite time of year. I am sure to say the same when Spring rolls around. But for now I am going to love and savor the changing leaves, football mania, fall soccer and look forward to pumpkin patches and Halloween fun.

All ready for soccer!
Baby brother steals the ball! :o) 

Here comes trouble! 

Kaden stayed home to throw rocks and Addi went to the soccer field to practice. Even though the official practice was canceled tonight Addi and her teammate Emily practiced anyway since they had the field. 



So far this season I have made three soups. Cheeseburger, Chicken Noodle, and Tortellini Soup. 
The Tortellini soup was AMAZING! For you busy Mom's, try this recipe for a quick delicious meal. Saute onion and garlic in the pot, add 2  32 oz. boxes chicken stock, two cans diced tomatoes, corn (I used fresh off the cob, but canned works too), one cup fresh chopped spinach, bring to boil. Add one package frozen tortellini, boil 5 minutes. Done and Delicious! :o) 

The deer are back for the cold season. We have a group living in the back yard and another group living across the street in the front. 


I went to Addi's school for P.I.E. night and had a great talk with her teacher. The teacher told me some funny stories about my daughter, and I learned more about her days at school. I left her school feeling very proud of my little girl.
