This year Brinley played Indoor Soccer. She wanted to played so bad for some reason, so we let her try it out & she actually did pretty good. It was in the Rec Center & they only had 5 games. The games were played on Saturdays, Oct.22nd- Nov. 19th. It was good practice for her & fun to try something new.

Oct. 23, 2011 I invited my Mom & Dad over for dinner to celebrate my Mom's birthday. We had just them over & Luke's parents came too. It was really nice to have a quiet dinner with just them.
I made chocolate pie instant of cake. This year my Mom turned 26!!!
Alex turned 11 on Oct. 18th, but we celebrated on the 15th. We had our family over for dinner & cake. Michele & her family were in town so they got to come over too.

Luke got him exploding targets to shoot
Alex worked for months earning money for this gift. He also asked for money from everyone for his birthday. He ended up with $210, so he paid for just about all of it.

Amanda played Happy Birthday for Alex on her Saxophone
Alex is almost as tall as me! I always have said he'd be taller then me by the time he's 12 & I think it's really gonna happen!!! Happy 11th Birthday Alex!! We love you!!
Oct. 4th was our scouts Pine Wood Derby. Of course Luke waited til the last minute to help Alex with his car, so about an hour before it stated they were trying to finish the car. Luke accidentally drilled right through it, so Alex ended up having to use his car from last year. Luckily it was still in good shape. I added a few more paint touches to give it a little more character. Alex did okay, he took 5th place & won "Best Detail". He had fun though and maybe next year they'll get started a little earlier on his car!
