Max Soccer!

Still on that same Friday, Max and I left the dog with Ross and Zoey to finish up her practice and we headed off to his soccer game! It was pretty mild early on but it got so so cold. Max doesn't show it here, but it is chilly!

All of Max's games were on a Friday night. Except for the first one, the weather was really bad for his games... freezing cold, rain, snow... (remember Grandma and Papa?)

So, I didn't get any pictures until this night. It was cold, but skies were clear!

Unfortunately, Zoey and Ross couldn't make it to the game and met us later for dinner. Max is not overly aggressive while playing soccer (unless it is against Zoey), so he just kind of runs along and happily plays. BUT, this was his best game of the season and he did really well, and I was the only one who got to see it! Oh well!

I love his tongue sticking out!

He had so many touches on the ball this game, it was great!

The sky was so pretty too as the sun set, so I was documenting it along with the game.

This series is kind of funny... (the kid wasn't hurt) and look at the ref's face!

Second Half under the lights!

I hadn't photographed sports under these conditions before so it was interesting, and a challenge!

Another kid falls at Max's feet!

And then starts kicking Max to get the ball... the old soccer player in me wants to yell, "Playing on the Ground, Ref!" but I didn't:)

After the game, we met up with Ross and Zoey for dinner and then back home. It is a crazy day for the kiddos, who are basically away from the house from 7:30 am until 9pm!

Max unwinds at home... looking at a brain teaser book, of course!

puppy and a walk with Max

So, back to October... Still had a new puppy in the house who made it fun for me to take pictures of...

IMG_3434

He does have a cute face. He is an attention getter... So many people stop to ask about him! Dog loving country just adds to it.

My favorite picture of him so far:

And a sweet sleeping pup:

All of these pictures were taken on a Friday in October. Later that day, we went to Zoey's soccer practice, and Max and I went for a walk, with Leo.

Max loves walking along the rocks!

The light was so pretty on this day too.

At this open space area, after we get passed the rocks, there is a 1/2 mile loop.

Beautiful fall colors and a boy and his pup:

Come on Leo!

And, I'm still bad about getting in front of the camera, so I had Max take a picture of me!

November 18 - Fire!!

I will start by saying, Ross was ready and willing to help with this one - FIRE!

Because I didn't have any particular plans on a Monday to be around fire, he just built me a fire using Cheetos! Don't try this at home kids, but they will light up like a candle!!

November 17 - Lazy!

Max woke up on Sunday morning in such a good mood. He must have slept really well. I had a bunch of blankets piled up on the couch and he snuggled in...

Here he is enjoying and lazy Sunday morning before the others got up, with one hand holding a game, and the other hand holding the wii remote while playing! And, still in his Angry Birds PJs!

November 16- Wine!

Wine for Saturday...

I took this picture with an old bokeh picture behind it!

IMG_3895


And well, it isn't actually wine, it is raspberry lambic that is tart and yummy!


November 15- Reflection

I am still taking my pictures daily, I am just a little behind on blogging about it. November 15 was a Friday and we went out for dinner. The word- Reflection! Here is the candlelight reflecting onto Ross's iPhone at the dinner table.

November 14 - Scarf

My mom made this lovely ruffly scarf for me and it is so pretty. I wear scarves a lot, just keeping my neck warm seems to help keep me warmer all over!

November 13 - Tree

Tree is the word of the day. We had a warmish day with blue skies. Here is a tree, I think an Aspen? (How Colorado of me, right?) Its leaves are definitely on the brown side versus yellow, but still pretty.

November 12- Mess

Well, "Mess" wasn't too hard to come up with... we do need to get more on the ball with our Ten Minute Clean-up each night, but we are still working a little bit on having a place for everything in our new house. Anyway, here is our mess, lots of craftiness going on as you can see... and I don't mind the mess from that as I love the products and inspiration that flows from it.

November 11 - Wish

I am aware that there is often food in these November picture posts. I bet I could do a food theme for over half of the words. Oh, well... what can I say?


Make a WISH!
