Wrapping up the Summer and Bringing on the Fall!

   In August my baby started preschool and is loving it.  Almost every day she asks if she gets to go to preschool.  She is growing up so fast and loving being bigger like sisters.  I am excited that she gets to go to the same preschool that my older two went to.  A friend of mine runs the “Busy Bee” preschool out of her home.  She does a wonderful job.  She has programs and field trips, and they learn so much.  I have really enjoyed having them attend her preschool. I would recommend her to anyone.

   September just flew by.  School, work, homework and just everyday living filled our days. 

   September also brought soccer.  Shaylee decided she wanted to try playing soccer this year.  She is our first one to be interested in playing.  Pima has a pretty good league.  For $15 she gets a shirt and to play.  It has been a fun experience so far.  I am proud of her for getting out there and trying something new.  I really think she enjoys the experience of trying new things.

   October has been teasing us with cooler mornings and evenings.  We love this time of year in Arizona when you finally start to get some relief from the hot summer days.  It is so funny to me when you go outside in the morning and it is 65 or 70 and the girls complain of it being cold.  I am loving it! I open the windows and let the cooler breeze blow through the house. Yeah for fall!

  Just this last weekend we went to the Graham County Fair.  We all had Friday off from school and work so we made a day of it. (Well four hours of it.)  That was about all we could take.  It was lots of fun though.

  In the past we have let the girls ride maybe one ride and just walked around to see the exhibits and animals.  This year we decided to buy the $13 bracelets and let them ride all the rides they wanted.  They have a lack of experience in the ride department and a fear of heights so most rides were close to the ground.  We did ride the Ferris wheel though.  

   Here are a few other pictures of the various rides.  I was the lucky parent that got to ride on the rides that Courtney wasn’t big enough to ride on her own.  I usually try to avoid being in pictures but it was unavoidable this time.  Jeremy was behind the camera.  It is usually the other way around.  So I sacrificed being in some of the pictures for the sake of my children.

   It always amazes me when this time of year roles around again.  Life seems to go by so fast.  We are all excited for the joy and excitement the holiday season brings.  Hope you all enjoy this fun and exciting time of year!
