Ma drove 2 hours to watch Ty and Maddie play soccer!
This is the only picture I took...Ty refused to play today so I sat with him while he cried.    We were also at the game an hour early...someone didn't read the schedule right...oops!

Before Church

Ty dressed himself for church, boots, jeans, and a t-shirt that read, "If you think I'm cute, wait 'til you meet my MOM!"  (Thanks Mimi for the shirt!")

one pant leg down, one tucked into his boot

Maddie dressed herself too.

This is how a fight starts...Ty bothering Maddie...

he won't stop....then Maddie hauls off and hits him.

I had lots of attempts at a cute fall picture...

and failed!

Pigeon Roost Pumpkin Patch

Saturday afternoon we met a bunch of our friends at the pumpkin patch!

Maddie and Ty enjoyed looking, touching, and picking up all the pumpkins!

After the pumpkin patch everyone came to our house for a wiener roast and s'mores.  However, it rained on our way home so Chris made the hot dogs on the grill, but we managed to make some s'mores!

Science Night

The Brownriggs came over on Monday night for our weekly dinner.

After dinner, we conducted some science experiments.

First, we made a glow-in-the-dark xylophone.

Poor Hudson had to just watch!

Then we made bubble bombs!

The bags were filled with vinegar and water.  The paper towels had baking soda in it.

Once outside, drop the paper towels in the baggie and shake.

Shake, Shake, Shake
then throw

The bag expands then pops.
Maddie, Ty and Brax examining the bag that would not pop!

Ty playing some tough defense.

time to sit out again
Our team has 9 members but only 6 play at a time.

I am thinking Maddie was pushing her own teammate.

Go Ty Go!

oops...it went out of bounds

Hudson's turn
You can find us at the soccer field every Sunday afternoon!  This is our first outdoor soccer experience.  Last year Maddie and Ty played indoor soccer and it didn't go too well.  However, this year it is going much better!  This year Maddie is actually playing in the game rather than just liking the drills.  Ty is not crying (much) and is working really hard at trying to keep up with his teammates.  Ty and Maddie are also in gymnastics and they are loving that too!
