Owensboro

The big news at our house is were moving! Mike has only about a month left at his job here in Blacksburg and then he will be unemployed.  He's currently looking for a new job and the family took a little trip to Kentucky to check out one of the opportunities.  We had lots of fun exploring Owensboro, loved the community and even found a house we'd love if we ended of moving there.  Owensboro has a wonderful River Walk with a huge playground the kids loved playing on, lots of fun stores to shop at and beautiful farm land.

Soccer

Natalya and Raquel both had soccer games this weekend. 

Natalya is on The Green Goblins and had so much fun! She was a great little soccer player and even scored a goal!  

Practicing before the game.

Natalya played her first game against her friend Jackson (in the orange)

Apples!

It was a gorgeous day to go apple picking, a perfect fall day.
The kids all did great helping pick almost 200 lbs of apples. We even enjoyed a few right off the tree.
And a big thank you to Mike and the kids for helping turn all those apples into yummy apple sauce!

Birthday Boy!

Our little Marcus is now a big 3 year old.  We had a great time celebrating his birthday with his friends David and Jackson and their families.  Marcus asked for a car birthday again this year so he got his wish with a Lightening McQueen cake.  

Happy Birthday Marcus!
