Soccer Wrap-up

We still have a couple more soccer events to wrap up Owen's senior year but until then, here are some of my favorite pictures from the season!

 

Cheer Wrap-up!

Paige's freshman year of cheer came to an end last month! She loved it so much and got to have a lot of new experiences because of it. She met new people, did some volunteering and cheered at a Varsity game! She also got to try out stunting as a flyer, which was so fun to watch! 

 

Red Wagon Farm

6th annual trip to Red Wagon Farm! We always sneak these in right before Halloween. Last year we were so late that we missed all the extra activities but this year we made it on the last day! That means we got to do the corn maze, the hay ride and the all you can carry pumpkin patch! Owen and I teamed up and won the corn maze but Paige and Pat were very close behind! We stopped in the barn to get some apple fritters and cider (ice cream for Paige) and then Pat managed to carry 6 pumpkins for us to take home!

 

Last Game

This is a rough one! Owen played in his last high school soccer game last week. I was emotional throughout the whole season but held it together pretty well until the last game ended. There were a lot of tears from me, other parents, and so many of the players. Soccer has been a part of Owen's life since he was 3, and we were playing with him at home before then. He's been on so many teams, made so many lifelong friends and had so many great experiences. It's been so wonderful watching him do something he loves, having the excuse to travel with him and make those memories, watch his confidence build and see him grow into such a leader. I'm so glad we got to do it together!

 

Extras

Pat and I went to Cedar Point with the Blatnicas to check out the haunted houses. The decorations were fantastic and the haunted houses were fun!

Owen hanging with a cat

I made a ribbon garland!

Paige napping with a cat

We went and checked out Coe Lake, I loved the hanging pumpkins in the trees and the new treehouse they built!

Can't stop taking pictures of the leaves!!

Tried a new technique/recipe for chocolate chip cookies and it was a winner!!

Craft day with Jamie! She wins for creativity and artistic abilities!

Paige had her half birthday. 14 1/2!!
