Early Fall Roundup

Bethany likes hats of any kind.


P1130892.JPG

She wears then and likes to take them off people as well.


P1130895.JPG

Bethany playing in the kids drawer, all stuff safe for her


P1130896.JPG

Mostly lunch kits


P1130900.JPG

She's been cruising around a lot, finding her favorite animal, Tyler.


P1130947.JPG

She also likes to grab the camera, but she's learning to pose for it.


P1130969.JPG

She started walking one day at church, but still preferred the assist for a while.


P1130972.JPG

She still sits on the floor and crawls more than walks, but she's getting used to it more each day.


P1130974.JPG

Silly smiles


P1130978.JPG

Out to eat for her birthday at a Tex-Mex place


P1130981.JPG

A face full of guacamole


P1130982.JPG

They bring out a hat for birthdays. She wasn't so sure about such a big hat.


P1130986.JPG

Levi was begging for some of her dessert, hence the odd face.


P1130994.JPG

Starting to look a lot more like mommy.


P1130996.JPG

But still some daddy too.


P1130997.JPG

Doesn't Levi look thrilled?


P1050811.JPG

I'm coaching soccer this season. On the sidelines Bethany usually plays on a blanket, and sometimes has the subs hanging out with her.


P1050805.JPG

Warming up.


P1050806.JPG

Lined up the practice


P1050809.JPG

Back to the sideline


P1050810.JPG

Some of the kids like to see her, especially the girls.


P1140159.JPG

Playing with her little people


P1140161.JPG

There's always kids in our house from the neighborhood. Bethany just takes it all in stride.


P1140162.JPG

Levi loves playing Skylanders.


P1140163.JPG

Not sure what happened with this picture, but she has loved playing with all the balloons we've had around.


P1140166.JPG

Playing the game


P1140168.JPG

Not sure where the ball is with that many kids around.


P1140172.JPG

Our friends from church have a little girl Abigail that is playing for the first time. She's really improved a lot


P1140173.JPG

Looking to the sideline.


P1140174.JPG

Eating on the sideline.


P1140176.JPG

Trying to get them to not all swarm the ball is hard.


P1140179.JPG

Sweating from running a lot.


P1050849.JPG

Playing again.


P1050854.JPG

Pondering how much trouble she'll get in pushing the TV buttons.


P1050855.JPG

Playing with her skirt.

They had an open house before school started that we visited.


P1050785.JPG

They had these little carts in the cafeteria the kids were playing on.


P1050786.JPG

Levi and his friend from church, Nathaniel, are in the same class with Ms. Felio as their teacher.


P1050788.JPG

The little carts link together, which led to lots of fun.
