We love the Fall

I love the Fall! It is my favorite time of year. I love everthing that goes along with the season: cooler weather, soccer games on Saturday mornings, Conference weekend, pumpkin bread, pumkin anything, apple spice candles, dressing up for Halloween and getting ready for Thanksgiving. It just makes me happy thinking about it. I decorated for fall yesterday so I'm all in the mood officially. And I woke up this morning to clouds and cozy weather... pure happiness.

We have been enjoying watching Taylor's new soccer team, "The Shooting Stars" on Saturdays. She is in the u6 division out here and so practice is right before the game on Saturday for a half hour and then the game. So it's done all in one shot. Part of me wishes she had it during the week too because she loves it so much. And I must say that she's pretty good. In her first game the other team only had two girls show up, so the other coach asked if one of our players would change jersey's for the game and play on their team so the girls could at least play a three on three game. Taylor graciously volunteered, (We'll I think Dad bribed her) and she ended up scoring 9 goals! The other parents on our team kept saying, we want her back on our team. They still don't have goalies in this division, or keep score officially. But of course the girls know and the parents are all keeping score, espcially Eric. He is the assistant coach and does a great job encouraging the girls. Taylor has done really well and even scored 7 goals last week. It was probably her best game. She just loves it and doesn't mind getting aggressive and going after the ball even if it means a few collisions. Brent is so cute and cheers her on from the side line, yelling, "Go Tay, Go Tay, Go Tay"

I can so see Eric as the soccer dad. I love the fall too. We were just in LA and we flew over Salt Lake and the colors on the mountains were gorgeous. It made me really miss Utah. Boise has pretty fall weather too but nothing like Utah mountains.

How cute is Taylor. I wish Eric and Dean could coach together. Toooo Scary! It would rewrite that movie Kickin' and Screamin.' I don't know, maybe Eric is not as bad as Dean. By the way, you look so cute pregnant. You look like you are pregnant with your first by a few months. I should know, I remember when you were pregnant with Tay. Dayna
